Hung out with Lucy for the first time in what felt like forever. It was so lovely and giggle filled and I'm really happy we're starting to hang again :) I went out with a planned shoot in my head for college but instead we went exploring and found this projection room titled 'The source' in the Albert Docks, so I got two shoots done in one day :)
This is one of my favourite portraits I've ever taken, it doesn't have a meaning to it, but does it need to?

Built: 1914 to 1923 - Architect: John Smith Murdoch - Architectural style: Inter-War Beaux-Arts
The Perth General Post Office is a fine example of monumental civic architecture and one of a precinct of Commonwealth buildings which introduced Beaux-Arts monumentalism to the city.
The imposing building has seven main storeys plus basement and roof level rooms. It has a concrete encased steel frame faced with brick and stone. The ground floor of the east elevation is faced with granite from Mahogany Creek with Donnybrook sandstone above. Paired ionic columns rise through three upper storeys. Red brick walls trimmed with stone are set back between stone towers and form the side and back walls.
The design was conceived in 1912 by Commonwealth architect, John Smith Murdoch, in association with Hillson Beasley (Western Australian Public Works Department). The initial contract was signed in 1914 and another (after delays due to a steel embargo and a strike) in 1921 for an additional two storeys. Construction was completed in 1923.

Thomas James Rodoni was born in 1882 at Hotham East, Victoria, to
Swiss and Irish parents. While living in Sydney in August 1914 as a man of
31, Rodoni joined the first Australian Imperial Force that would engage in the
Great War: the Australian Naval & Military Expeditionary Force. A week after
enlisting, Rodoni’s company embarked on the HMAS Berrima and sailed
to German New Guinea among a fleet with orders to seize two wireless
stations and to disable the German colonies there.
Rodoni’s unofficial photographs – many of them “candid” shots, captured
in the moment – are a rare glimpse of this pivotal moment in Australia’s
history. He has documented the energetic atmosphere of prewar Sydney
and its surrounds, from civilian and military marches to battleships docked
in Sydney Harbour, with accompanying crowds of people brought together
for these special events. His camera voyaged with him on the expedition to
the Pacific region, taking images both from the ship’s deck and then again
on dry land after disembarking.
Rodoni was stationed in New Guinea for five months with the AN&MEF
after the successful capture of territory from the German forces. His striking
images are testament to his ease with the camera, and the ease of his fellow
servicemen around this avid amateur photographer. He used his camera to
record daily events and significant moments in the expedition, and made
several group portraits of the officers and soldiers in his company. Yet his
images also suggest a genuine curiosity for the foreign people and places
where he was stationed, and a love of the photographic medium in which
he practiced during this early period of the war.
After leaving New Guinea with the AN&MEF and returning home to Australia
in January 1915, Rodoni left the force to work in a Small Arms Factory
manufacturing munitions for the war. He soon married and settled in
Newcastle with his wife, Catherine Annie Wilson, and had four children:
Thomas, Mary, Jim and William (Bill). The wider collection of glass plate
negatives – over 600 in total and with many views of Newcastle and its surrounds is an incredible legacy to Thomas Rodoni and his family.
Rodoni died in 1956 as a result of a car accident in Waratah, Newcastle.
The original negatives are held in Cultural Collections at the Auchmuty Library, University of Newcastle (Australia).

I love these Norwegian oat biscuits, and that is partly because they have freed the recipe on the packet. Think of the possibilities for product development the company can draw from its consumers. A shame they haven't opened for a rich conversation.

St. Louis is the second-largest city in Missouri, United States. It sits near the confluence of the Mississippi and the Missouri Rivers, on the western bank of the latter. As of 2020, the city proper had a population of around 301,500, while the bi-state metropolitan area, which extends into Illinois, had an estimated population of over 2.8 million, making it the largest metropolitan area in Missouri, the second-largest in Illinois, the seventh-largest in the Great Lakes Megalopolis, and the 20th-largest in the United States.
Before European settlement, the area was a regional center of Native American Mississippian culture. St. Louis was founded on February 14, 1764, by French fur traders Gilbert Antoine de St. Maxent, Pierre Laclède and Auguste Chouteau, who named it for Louis IX of France. In 1764, following France's defeat in the Seven Years' War, the area was ceded to Spain. In 1800, it was retroceded to France, which sold it three years later to the United States as part of the Louisiana Purchase; the city was then the point of embarkation for the Corps of Discovery on the Lewis and Clark Expedition. In the 19th century, St. Louis became a major port on the Mississippi River; from 1870 until the 1920 census, it was the fourth-largest city in the country. It separated from St. Louis County in 1877, becoming an independent city and limiting its own political boundaries. St. Louis had a brief run as a world-class city in the early 20th century. In 1904, it hosted the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and the Summer Olympics.
A "Gamma" global city with a metropolitan GDP of more than $160 billion in 2017, metropolitan St. Louis has a diverse economy with strengths in the service, manufacturing, trade, transportation, and tourism industries. It is home to nine of the ten Fortune 500 companies based in Missouri. Major companies headquartered or with significant operations in the city include Ameren Corporation, Peabody Energy, Nestlé Purina PetCare, Anheuser-Busch, Wells Fargo Advisors, Stifel Financial, Spire, Inc., MilliporeSigma, FleishmanHillard, Square, Inc., U.S. Bank, Anthem BlueCross and Blue Shield, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, Centene Corporation, and Express Scripts.
Major research universities include Saint Louis University and Washington University in St. Louis. The Washington University Medical Center in the Central West End neighborhood hosts an agglomeration of medical and pharmaceutical institutions, including Barnes-Jewish Hospital.
St. Louis has three professional sports teams: the St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball, the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League, and the St. Louis BattleHawks of the newly formed XFL. In 2019, the city was awarded a Major League Soccer franchise, St. Louis City SC, which is expected to begin play upon the completion of a 22,500-seat stadium in the city's Downtown West neighborhood in 2023. Among the city's notable sights is the 630-foot (192 m) Gateway Arch in the downtown area. St. Louis is also home to the St. Louis Zoo and the Missouri Botanical Garden, which has the second-largest herbarium in North America.

The Saint Louis Art Museum is one of the principal U.S. art museums, with paintings, sculptures, cultural objects, and ancient masterpieces from all corners of the world. Its three-story building stands in Forest Park in St. Louis, Missouri, where it is visited by up to a half million people every year. Admission is free through a subsidy from the cultural tax district for St. Louis City and County.
In addition to the featured exhibitions, the museum offers rotating exhibitions and installations. These include the Currents series, which features contemporary artists, as well as regular exhibitions of new media art and works on paper.

Forest Park is a public park in western St. Louis, Missouri. It is a prominent civic center and covers 1,326 acres (5.37 km2). Opened in 1876, more than a decade after its proposal, the park has hosted several significant events, including the Louisiana Purchase Exposition of 1904 and the 1904 Summer Olympics. Bounded by Washington University in St. Louis, Skinker Boulevard, Lindell Boulevard, Kingshighway Boulevard, and Oakland Avenue, it is known as the "Heart of St. Louis" and features a variety of attractions, including the St. Louis Zoo, the St. Louis Art Museum, the Missouri History Museum, and the St. Louis Science Center.
Since the early 2000s, it has carried out a $100 million restoration through a public-private partnership aided by its Master Plan. Changes have extended to improving landscaping and habitat as well. The park's acreage includes meadows and trees and a variety of ponds, manmade lakes, and freshwater streams. For several years, the park has been restoring prairie and wetlands areas of the park. It has reduced flooding and attracted a much greater variety of birds and wildlife, which have settled in the new natural habitats.
Afbeelding: Collage van een vijftal afbeeldingen van A.C. Pigou online te vinden.
DE TIJDSBEPALING VAN ANONIEME AFBEELDINGEN ONLINE
Door Marcel Douwe Dekker. Laatste versie 12 mei 2020
Over digitalisering Online zwerven er tegenwoordig vele oudere afbeeldingen, waarvan de brondata niet voorzien is. Om soms afbeelding te gebruiken is het noodzakelijk de datum van oorsprong vast te stellen. Deze problematiek wordt hier verder besproken a.d.h.v. een actueel voorbeeld op Wiki Commons.
In de praktijk kan het voorkomen, dat je iets meer zekerheid wil hebben over de datum van een anonieme foto. Het hoeft geen exacte datum te zijn, maar je wilt wel een indicatie. Met een combinatie van een aantal algemene gegevens zoals in de bovenstaande collage, kan men toch een ruwe indicatie krijgen.
De directe aanleiding van deze problematiek
Op Wikimedia Commons is afgelopen week een curieus verwijderingsverzoek geplaatst voor een afbeelding van de jonge A.C. Pigou (1877-1957). Deze afbeelding was daar negen jaar terug geupload en wordt wereldwijd in zo'n 35 wikiprojecten gebruikt. Die artikelen met de foto zijn in de loop van de tijd al zo'n 5 miljoen keer keer bekeken. Halverwege heb ik deze kleine afbeelding eens vergroot, en zo raakte ik hier betrokken.
Van de afbeelding is de fotograaf onbekend, en dit was op Commons netjes aangegeven. Daarbij was een licentie geplaatst, dat de auteur al 70 jaar dood is, en dat daarom de afbeelding in het publieke domein is. Beide zijn uiteraard formeel gezien met elkaar in tegensprak. Maar pragmatisch gezien zijn er twee aannames gedaan: de fotograaf is onbekend en is al overleden, want de foto is oud genoeg.
Afgelopen week meende een Wikipedia medewerker, dat de informatie met elkaar in tegenspraak was, en dat de afbeelding om deze reden verwijderd moest worden. Nu heb ik dit opgelost door een andere licentie specifiek voor Engelse afbeeldingen. Als die voor 1950 zijn gemaakt en/of gepubliceerd, dan is de afbeelding vrij te gebruiken. Nu gaat het om de eerste foto van de vijf. De medewerker wilde daarvan echter het bewijs zien...!!
De constructie van deze tijdlijn
Na een paar uur online zoeken naar afbeeldingen van de Engelse econoom A.C. Pigou was me een ding opgevallen. Er zijn weliswaar de nodige portretfoto's online beschikbaar. Bij geen van de foto's is een exacte datum beschikbaar.
Zodoende is geen van de afbeeldingen als een referentiepunt te gebruiken. Voor dit geval heb ik nu een tijdlijn getekend, zie afbeelding, met de belangrijkste data en zijn de afbeeldingen min of meer in chronologische volgorde gezet.
De hier geschetste opzet is op zichzelf niets bijzonders. In gedachten zullen vele bij eenzelfde probleem zo'n voorstelling maken. Het bijzondere hier is, dat je dat ook daadwerkelijk uittekent. Zo'n tastbaar resultaat kan je in een eventuele nieuwe overlegronde inbrengen.
Een zoektocht naar meer achtergrondinformatie
Een paar van deze foto's zijn gebruikt op de cover van boeken van gerenommeerde uitgeverijen. In zulke gevallen dient men in het boek de oorsprong van de afbeeldingen aan te geven.
In enkele gevallen heb ik dat gecheckt. In twee gevallen werd credit verleend aan de Cambridgeshire collection maar was geen data gegeven van de maker of het jaar van vervaardiging.
De Cambridgeshire collection zelf is een vrij grote verzameling, waarvan er maar een paar afbeeldingen ook op Wikicommons geupload zijn. Deze voorbeelden kunnen niet zonder meer gevolgd worden.
De patstelling in de verwijderingsdiscussie
In de verwijderingsdiscussie werd gevraagd naar het bewijs, dat de eerste foto (links) voor 1950 gemaakt was. In 1950 was de beste man al 72 of 73 jaar oud. In dit specifieke geval had ik echter van geen van de foto's een datum gevonden.
Op Commons is het me weer eens erg onduidelijk. Is er hier spraken van een ongelovige thomas? Is er iemand die met alle geweld iets weg wilt hebben, ook wel een deletionist genoemd. Of is er hier sprake van iemand, die alles volgens de regels exact geregeld wilt zien, een formalist zogezegd. Of iemand die vind dat alles met alle geweld ideaal moet zijn, een idealist...!?
Het probleem dat ik zelf ook ervaar is, dat ik er te ver afsta. In Nederland zijn er allerlei bronnen, die je nog zou kunnen raadplegen. Op Wikipedia zou je het ook elders kunnen navragen, maar dat weet ik nu juist zelf nog niet.
Een adder onder het gras
De voor de hand liggende vraag, waar je als directe betrokkene overheen kijkt is, waarom het sowieso zo lang geduurd heeft dat er een foto van deze geleerde beschikbaar kwam op Wikipedia? De foto op Wikipedia zelf is pas in 2011 geupload, toen men een jaar of vijf met afbeeldingen werkte. De foto zelf was ook alleen in thumb formaat beschikbaar gemaakt. Zelf ben ik bij deze zaak betrokken geraakt alleen omdat dat thumb formaat me stoorde. Je kreeg dan een postzegel in beeld, terwijl je met wat vergroting een aardig pasfotoformaat te zien krijgt.
Afgelopen avond heb ik nog een uur online verder gezocht, en daarbij is me bevestigd dat het hier gaat om een vooraanstaand econoom. In de eerste helft van de 20ste eeuw werd hij zelfs al regelmatig genoemd in de Nederlandse kranten. Het Engelse Wikipedia artikel over de geschiedenis van de economie wijdt een aparte paragraaf aan hem.
In alle gedateerde boeken en tijdschriften, zo online in te zien, ben ik geen enkele begeleidende foto tegen gekomen. Dat kan erop duiden, dat hij daar zelf niet van gediend was, of zoiets. Toch zijn er hier en daar keurige gedetailleerd portretten te zien. Allemaal gepubliceerd met de courtesy van de Cambridgeshire collection van de Bibliotheek van Cambridge.
Op heel Wikipedia zijn ook praktisch geen afbeeldingen uit die Cambridgeshire collection te vinden. Daar zal dan iets speciaals aan de hand zijn, wat ze je niet vertellen. Van een zo'n foto uit de Cambridgeshire collection wordt wel een indicatie gegeven van de maker, maar dan ook weer zo onduidelijk, dat dit voor allerlei interpretatie vatbaar is. Met Obelix denk ik dan "rare jongens, die Britten," en blijf benieuwd wat ik hier al dan niet over het hoofd zie...!?
