This is the words Agnes Ozman wrote "under the influence of Holy Spirit." They believed the writing was Chinese.
"To Dave Kelly Andy Rourke X, To Dave Johnny Marr (The World's Worst) XX".
Autographs from one half of the Smiths that I picked up backstage after the gig. Marr's "World's Worst" was in reference to Morrissey proclaiming The Smiths as the World's greatest band when he had just autographed my ticket.
This ticket was purchased in Golden Disc, North Earl Street, Dublin 1.

From the time when the London Transport museum was based in an old bus garage in Clapham. The museum was set up here in the early 1960s, but closed in the 1970s when the Railway museum in York opened . London transport exhibits were transferred to Syon Park, Isleworth, then in 1980 to their current location in Covent Garden. Details here

This is a child of poverty who died, most likely, of disease. Despite the shabby surroundings, the photographer has managed to capture the pure light falling on the child's forehead, cheeks, and chin, giving the image a soft and peaceful atmosphere.
The writing on the reverse of this real photo postcard, appears to be Eastern European, and hopefully someone can translate it for me.

This is probably one of the oldest Teesside transport artefacts. It is a fare-table for the London and Sunderland Royal Mail coach, undated, but probably from around 1843. Note how the fare from Stockton to Yarm is two shillings (10p) which would have been a lot of money in the 1840s - and a century later the journey on a Stockton Corporation Titan TD1 would probably have been about 4d. (TD1s being a lot cheaper to run than a relay of horses). This fare table was found amongst my grandfather's documents - although he had an agency for a Stockton-London (motor) coach service in the 1920s, our family was not in Teesside before the last few years of the 19th century.
The sun has returned after more than 3 weeks of clouds. It is making brighter work of my editing this morning.
Because of Flickr's recent gift which I passed on to my close Chinese friend here, Shino, you can see her remarkable travel photos of Tibet and China now. Here is Shino herself. She is the most adventursome Chinese person I know. Chinese women do not travel alone - but Shino does

I love her photos and also her delightful comments on them

day 22
lately i've been watching shows like the buried life and departures (and i should mention here that i absolutely LOVE both of them) that are both about going after things that they wanted to do before they die.
the buried life in particular asks the question "what do you want to do before you die?" it's such a simple but loaded question that i think everyone needs to ask themselves whether you're 21 years old or 82 years young.
the show has inspired me in many ways. one of my long-term goals is to be able to travel and to not only see the world, but to experience it. it's a big one, but i'll get it done somehow.
and i so i extend the question to all of you: what do you want to do before you die?
leave it in the comments! =)

Publisher: The Rotograph Co., N.Y. City. Printed in Germany.
Publisher Note:
The Rotograph Co. of New York City was founded in 1904 by Germans Arthur Schwarz of Neue Photographische Gesellschaft (a major bromide photo paper manufacturer) and Ludwig Knackstedt of Knackstedt & Nather after taking over the National Art Views Co.
Many of their early cards were reprints of black and white or hand-colored National Art postcards and were printed without any letter prefixes. Some of these cards include the Sol Art Prints logo.
This card appears to be in Style E, a view that was printed with halftones with divided backs.
The company closed in 1911.

Not long after my arrival, and since I was walking point, I upgraded my M-16 to an M-16 with an M-203 Grenade Launcher, referred to as an “Over and Under”. The 40mm grenade launcher was cable of firing explosive grenades and flares, but I was carrying buckshot rounds. The buckshot round had 20 large pellets in it.

I haven't any details about this fine early 1970s German moped: I couldn't find an emblem. Also the license number doesn't give me any information. But it's most probably a R 50.

The R 50 was built from 1964 till 1984.
