Ray says this is a photo of him as a new recruit, and it was taken in March of 1941.
It was about 9 months after he had graduated from high school, and had searched unsuccessfully for a job -- any job -- all over the Utah/Colorado border area where his family lived. As a last resort, he took a bus to Salt Lake City, and enlisted in the Navy.
*********************************
To the best of my knowledge, most of the photos in this Flickr album were taken by my grandmother, Mabel Yourdon, during the 1920, 30s, and 40s. Most of them depict scenes of everyday life in mining camps and small towns near the Utah-Colorado border. Some of them show hunting, fishing, and camping trips in unspecified parts of the American west. It appears that a few of them were taken in southern California, when Mabel and her husband Ike traveled out there to visit relatives.
I have no idea what kind of camera Mabel used for these photos, nor what kind of film. There probably wasn’t that much variety available in the 1920s, and she was not a “professional” photographer. So it may have been a Brownie and whatever B/W film Kodak was selling at the time.
My stepfather, Ray Yourdon, was born in 1922; and his older brother, Marvin, was born two years before that. You’ll see photos of Ray and Marvin when they were young boys, when they were in high school, and when they went off to join the Navy and the Marines to fight in World War II.
Somewhere around 2005, I asked Ray if he could tell me the details of some of the photos; where possible, I have included those details in the notes for the photos. Some of the photos obviously evoked pleasant memories, and I heard stories about minor day-to-day events in his life that I had never heard before. But we rarely got through more than a few pictures before he ran out of energy; and so many of the photos have no explanation at all.
At this point, my parents and grandparents are all gone. I have cousins who grew up in the same area where these photos were taken, and one or two of them are still in that area. They may be able to fill in a few of the details; otherwise, you’ll just have to accept these photos as a glimpse of what life was like nearly a hundred years ago ...

Ray knows that if he sits on my lap he might soon be disturbed so he prefers to sit with his head resting on my leg. It's all very relaxing but nothing gets done ! This is the seat by the pond . Luckily I had my camera and fired a few shots from above my head and struck it lucky with this one.

Ray is another member of the Great Notley Photography Club www.gnpc.co.uk who kindly offered to be my subject for these test shots.
the lighting was just two portable flashunits the Vivitar 285hv's. On to the right with a 60cm Easy softbox and the other to create the halo of light on the black backdrop positioned immediately behind the subject pointed up slightly from a low light stand.
Flashes fired using RF-602 wireless triggers.

Luego de haber superado el semáforo y habiendo avanzado el par de metros imprescindible para dejar atrás la oficina de CatalunyaCaixa de la calle Balmes, Ray recuperó el ritmo y con decisión enfiló hacia la parada de El Putxet, siempre en obras.

Ray Wise at the 2011 Twin Peaks Festival. He complimented me on my Goodfellas t-shirt, & when I asked him what his favourite Scorsese film is, he said he really likes Gangs of New York.
I've watched Gangs of New York over the last year & a half after not having seen it in years, & I've come to love it even more than I did when I was a kid.
We also had a bit of a chat about Bram Stoker's Dracula, as I had asked him if he had a first edition copy since I heard he did.
He is very nice.

La luz ciega el mañana.
Los rayos, antes de que los atrape,
vencen su brillo.
La oscuridad acaricia
en los albores de mi capitulación
su danza y sus tambores.
¡Oh sombras
penetradme
hacedme vuestra carroña!
Para que pueda ser
nada y nadie;
el curvado doblón
el escudo ajado del abatido
el ahogo del chillido
el eco de quien aventura las dunas
y los desiertos y fondas de la locura
bajo una luna manchada.
¡Oh sombras
penetradme
hacedme vuestra carroña!
Para que pueda ser
nada y nadie;
el apostado en el tembloroso suelo
el llanto que la distancia acalla
el sudor febril y gélido
el poema en el papel raído, perdido de las manos, escrito en el olvido.
