As a graduate student, I spend the majority of my time reading books. I find studying pretty illuminating and thought this would be a fun way to capture that.
I'm copying a picture made by my friend Kenny McCartney, which you can view here. His is much better.
I shot this with an SB-600 using a Yongnuo flash trigger. I've been impressed thus far with what these little guys can do. I cut the power down to 1/64th and zoomed it out to 14mm, pointing it out of the top of the book. I set up a YN-560 flash behind me as a backlight (or rim light, I guess) and set it as an optical slave so it triggered when it saw the SB-600 flash.

The Ian Dewhirst Memorial Collection cabinet in the Keighley Local Studies Library on the first floor of Keighley Public Library, 9th October 2021. Due to coronavirus safety restrictions, the Collection was unveiled by the Lord Mayor of Bradford, Councillor Doreen Lee, at a small, private ceremony with library staff, members of Ian’s family, and invited guests in the summer of 2020.
Cllr Sarah Ferriby, Executive Member for Healthy People and Places at Bradford Council, Keighley News, 20th July 2020: “Ian was a valued member of the library staff in Keighley, and highly respected as a local historian and by all who knew him in the town. He was a true inspiration to all and champion of Keighley Library and especially Local Studies where he would make regular visits for his research. Our plans for celebrating his contribution to the work of the Council’s library service and the wider community were interrupted by the pandemic, but now that the library has his full collection in place, we don’t want to wait any longer to commemorate him. We hope that this memorial will ensure that future generations will remember Ian and the invaluable work he did within Keighley and the wider community.”
Ian Dewhirst (1936-2019) was an acclaimed local historian. He made an invaluable contribution to preserving, cataloguing and recounting the history of the town. During his life he wrote many articles and books on the town, and gave thousands of talks and tours to various societies and groups, including the History Society. He was born in Keighley in 1936 and he attended Keighley Boys’ Grammar School between 1948 and 1955.
At school his talent for poetry flourished and he saw various poems published in the school magazine ‘The Keighlian’. He graduated from the University of Manchester in 1958 with a degree in English. He did his National Service as a Sergeant-Instructor in the Royal Army Educational Corps from 1958 to 1960.
He started working at Keighley Library in 1960 and was promoted to Reference Librarian in 1967, a role he fulfilled until retirement in 1991. During that time he wrote ‘A History of Keighley’, published by the Keighley Corporation in 1974, and reprinted several times since. Other publications included ‘The Handloom Weaver and other poems’ (1965), ‘The Haworth Water-Wolf and other Yorkshire stories’ (1967), ‘Scar Top and other poems’ (1968), ‘Gleanings from Victorian Yorkshire’ (1972), ‘Old Keighley in Photographs’ (1972), ‘More Old Keighley in Photographs’ (1973), ‘Gleanings from Edwardian Yorkshire’ (1975), ‘Yorkshire Through the Years’ (1975), ‘The Story of a Nobody: a Working Class Life 1880-1939’ (1980), ‘You Don’t Remember Bananas… A Pennine Half-Century’ (1985), ‘Keighley in Old Picture Postcards’ (1987), ‘Keighley in the 1930s & 40s’ (1989), ‘Victorian Keighley Characters’ (1990), ‘In the Reign of the Peacemaker: Keighley and District in Edwardian Photographs’ (1993), ‘Down Memory Lane’ (1993), ‘A Century of Yorkshire Dialect’ (with Arnold Kellett, 1997), ‘Keighley in the Second World War’ (2005), and ‘Nah Then! A Treasury of Yorkshire Dialect Quotations’ (2010).
Ian began writing the popular ‘Memory Lane’ column for the Keighley News in 1992 and carried on doing so right up until his death. In 1996, he was made an Honorary Doctor of Letters by the University of Bradford. And in February 1999, he was awarded an MBE by the Queen for his services to local history, at a ceremony held at Buckingham Palace. In 2009 he had a Northern Rail 158 diesel train named after him. In 2018, the Dalesman awarded him the W. R. Mitchell Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his prolific work as a local historian and public speaker.
He spent almost his whole life in Keighley, living in his parents’ former home on Raglan Avenue, off Fell Lane. He served on the Council of the Yorkshire Dialect Society and spent time as secretary of the Friends of Cliffe Castle Museum and Art Gallery. He died on 20th January 2019 and his funeral service was held at Trinity Church, Fell Lane, on 15th February, followed by a private cremation.

I couldn't even imaging that I could get a picture for the first module of The Assignment today. I'd planned a different set of pictures for today and there's still time to take them. However, I'm really pleased that I took this picture.

So it's 2am, and I'm in the middle of my STATs assignment. The fact that relevant papers spanned across 5 separate stacks + a laptop screen was... interesting enough to warrant a snapshot.
I think I ended up getting 80% for my answers. Not bad.

I hope these are more than just "flower shots"
Also, I've recently acquired a tumblr. Check it out and follow me if you so wish:

I caught this bird flying around at Bosque del Apache. A hawk, I suspect. So I composited a bunch of shots into one image.
