Watermen and Lightermen - Watermen carry passengers whilst Lightermen carry goods and cargoes.
From ancient times the Thames has been the main highway for moving people and goods from the Estuary to London and beyond. The use of ferries was the only link across the River Thames before the building of the first London Bridge by the Romans. However evidence of the importance of the River was provided by Stow, who in his survey of 1598 related that some 40,000 men earned a living on or about the River. The Act of 1514 was passed by Parliament which regulated the fares charged on the River Thames. However the Watermen who carried passengers continued to act independently and an Act of 1555 appointed Rulers of all Watermen and Wherrymen working between Gravesend and Windsor, thus the Company of Watermen and Lightermen was born. The Act of 1555 also introduced apprenticeships for a term of one year for all boys wishing to learn the watermen’s trade and this was extended to seven years by a further Act in 1603.

The Shell Project - Originally started as an exercise to test some of the features of my new Casio point and shoot camera but turned into an extended study of a single abalone shell. The series shows the results of photographing that shell at different focusing modes and lighting conditions.

My submission for the Kitsap County fair this year came about in an interesting way. I had these beads in a plastic bag that I was going to throw away, not really I mean cause I give things I no longer need or want to one of the local thrift stores or offer beads I wont use to two young ladies whom I taught to bead. But surprisingly enough they weren't interested in these beads and they just sat for a long time. One day I found them while cleaning out craft stuff and I just looked at them and saw something. Voila! A neckalce is born.
I found the shell at Walmart and it all just came together. The stones are either quartz or some other gem and the pearls are natural pearls.( I think)
A shelling demonstration being held in a field. I remember going out with my Dad as he shelled the excess corn for the farmers. This after their cribs had been filled.
