moments before this ... i had anxiety attacks from the altitude.
fortunately i calmed down by taking my mind away from the view for a while. it was alright once the cable car passed this section...
I did this face-up a little while back for a friend of mine. He has some beauty marks over his face :)
I also had to sand his cheeks to his face would become a bit thinner. The originally round cheeks of this mold were not really fitting the character she had in mind for him.
Is a steam driver a glamorous job? Here oiling up during heavy rain on the release road at Hythe is the driver of Hurricane
I was driving over Emley Moor on Sunday afternoon when I spotted an interesting looking setup ploughing a field at Bunker Hill. I pulled up and took a few photos. There were big tractors flying about towing six wheeled slurry tankers and tipping trailers one after the other, a lot of muck spreading and ploughing going on. A Big John Deere was approaching towing a Joskin trailer I grabbed a few shots and it turned into the field across the road and pulled up, air brakes and a nice sounding six cylinder under the long bonnet. The driver came walking towards me - Steve Burt - I should have known seeing as his yard is next to the field in question. An old mate I haven't seen for a while. As we stood gassing the Case ploughed to a stop over the wall from us. The driver asked about the photography so I told him the story, I assumed he knew Steve, but he didn't, it took me half an hour to realise that they only knew of each other. The other driver was Scott Hall, who's father Kenneth Hall built half of Meltham and Honley, before turning to farming and knew my dad well. He pulled up with his dog ranting about about everything he could think of.
The dog nipped Steve on the arm. We must have talked for an hour, Jayne meanwhile was recovering from us having been out late last night, sat in the car with the engine running. As we talked Stuart Oldfield drove past - in a tractor of course - I had just mentioned that I had let Stuart have 350 photos on disc, that I took of his team silaging recently, to use in his advertising, and there he was.
Steve's set up was very impressive, a John Deere 8410 and 300 hp towing a Joskin trailer made of Hardox. I followed him into the field and grabbed a few shots - talked some more, surprise, surprise. I thing Jayne sat waiting for an hour and a half, nearly as long as I waited last night!
The pull push plough arrangement was interesting, of cours Steve has one although he hasn't used it. Steve bought one of my Foden tippers many years ago, E649OWT with the Cat 350 in, that was the first time I met him, he does a bit of photography as well so we always have more to talk about than time to do it.As I left the sun appeared - story of my life.

The theme of last month's Fashion Fetish event was '40s pin-up as voted for by Good for Party's readers and let me just say to all the readers who did vote: you couldn't have picked a better theme! Our stylists (Anna Lee Jackson & Kelly Moriarty of Studio 110) and photographer (Richard Pack, dickyp.com) made it all look so easy; capturing the sultry vixen look so prevalent in the '40s with perfect up-do's, red lips and spotlight lighting. Impromptu vignettes topped the night off as the girls showed off their gams, played the piano and made boys feel like real gentlemen (by letting them buy them a martini or two, of course). For all you fashion savvy and fashion loving ladies and gentlemen; make sure you stayed tuned to the Good for Party Network- it's the only way to know of the truly avant fashion and music events worth going to in this great city- period.
