Two museums in one – The Fine Arts Museum is housed in one modern structure and a second, classical 1927 building nearby. The "art" is all over the place and sadly I was not allowed to take pictures of any of it. Some art pieces were broken, nearly all needed cleaning and the lighting was generally awful everywhere. The modern art portions were not bad but politics were at play in almost every corner in those galleries.

Christmas 2002 - That was a fun year with two pregnant girls. Heidi is weeks from having Caleb and I had three months to go .. plenty of time to get huge!
On the back of two rejections in a row (most recently a bride-to-be on a hen party dressed as Marilyn Monroe) I struck very lucky today …
Rachel was sat on the steps of Grey’s Monument in Newcastle talking to her Mum when I approached and asked if I could take her photograph. I already had my card ready so when she asked why, I handed it over and explained about the project. As ever “why” is a very promising response and has always turned into a “yes” - on this occasion it turns out that Rachel is anything but shy and retiring and is pursuing a career in the performing arts (my second such stranger) and moreover her Dad is a keen photographer and currently building up a portfolio for her to use. With a quick “what do you think” to her Mum she agreed quite happily.
Rachel was in Newcastle today shopping for some ballet gear but I got the impression that her real passion and ambition lies with her singing. She mentioned that she had recently posted a video of her singing on YouTube so I offered to include a link with the photo if she wanted me to so she wrote down her website address so that I could find the address. The video quality is quite (actually very) poor unfortunately but Rachel does indeed appear to be a very talented singer - Chasing Pavements by Adele. I’m fairly sure she wouldn’t mind me posting her website address but as I did not actually get permission to do so I won’t (she wrote it down specifically so that I could find the video). If the photographs on her website were taken by her Dad though then he is doing an excellent job that I would love to be able to match. With hindsight I didn't catch whether her Dad is a professional photographer or amateur but he appears to have access to a studio so he at least takes it seriously.
For the second time I was interrupted during a “100 Strangers” encounter but this time I hadn’t even really got started so after a couple of non-committal responses I had to politely (I hope) explain that I was in the middle of something and the man (a fellow photographer who was admiring my camera) took his leave apologetically.
I asked Rachel to stand up and took one shot with the street as the background then asked her to stand against the monument to get a less cluttered background - I took two profile shots there then another with her looking at me smiling but on review the image pretty much picked itself - you just couldn't ignore a lovely smile like that! The focus is a bit soft but I still like this shot and the little things like the upturned collar make it a better pose than the other candidate which is nice and sharp (I'll post it in the comments).
Thank you very much Rachel (and to your Mum) for taking the time to talk to me today and taking part in my project, our meeting was quite short but it felt relaxed throughout and I enjoyed it. Good luck with your career, perhaps I will see you again someday ;).

According to our day-hiking instructor, the purple trilliums can be very old, up to 70 years.
I'm taking a day-hiking class this term. Yesterday was our first outing. The instructor chose a section of the Wildwood Trail in Portland's 5,200-acre Forest Park. The early wildflowers were out in abundance.
Susan Noya and Susan Harvey (incoming president) of the Junior League of York volunteered time for the event for which their organization provided grant money.

August 1. Monday. Maddie's house and cross country.
First day of cross country.
It's going to be a good season, I think.
Even if I am so way beyond out of shape.
So much fun with Maddie, Grant, and Rj tonight.
I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe and almost had an asthma attack.
Some other stuff was confusing beyond belief, but that's life.

Two Cullman men were arrested in the City of Hanceville following a traffic stop Wednesday.
Hanceville Police Officer John Davidson conducted a routine traffic stop along Hopewell Road near the Savannah Circle intersection in the City of Hanceville. The stop was initiated when Davidson observed an expired license tag on the vehicle with two occupants inside.
As the subject vehicle was coming to a stop, Officer Davidson witnessed the passenger side occupant tossing a small black bag from the vehicle.
Upon running the expired license plate number through Alabama motor vehicle records, Davidson determined that the license was expired AND not related to the vehicle. It belonged to a different automobile entirely.
At this point, Sergeant Rob Long of Hanceville Police Department (HPD) arrived to provide back-up.
The two individuals were found to have NO driver’s licenses in their possession with both providing weak explanations for their lack of proper licensing and a expired, tampered with license tag.
The black bag discharged from the vehicle contained 29.4 grams of methamphetamine and various items of drug use paraphernalia.
Officer Davidson promptly arrested:
JOSHUA EARL HANNERS (28) of Cullman
DUSTIN LOGAN BOONE (27) of Cullman
Both individuals were taken to the Hanceville City Jail where they face the following charges:
• Trafficking in Methamphetamine
• Possession of Drug Paraphernalia
• Tampering with Physical Evidence
Both Hanners and Boone also have prior charges from previous arrests pending.
After being processed at Hanceville Police Department, the pair were transported to the Cullman County Detention Center.
Each party faces a bond amount of at least $1,000,000.
Hanceville Assistant Chief of Police Adam Hadder had these thoughts immediately after the arrestees were safely inside the CCDC:
“It was a great job by both Officer Davidson and Sergeant Long.
This incident is yet another excellent example of how a traffic stop can escalate into an opportunity to take a significant amount of narcotics off the streets of Hanceville.
The Hanceville Police Department is committed to removing the vermin who traffic these substances into our community. It is disgusting they attempt to addict and poison our children, young adults, and families who otherwise wish to reside peacefully and lawfully in the City of Hanceville.”
