It's Called Acting....Peasant

Heavens No !    It's not a real tramp, sleeping in a gutter, illuminated by the headlights of a passing ambulance. Of course not, dear boy.

It's an Actor. It's Edmund LeClerk Grimshawe, the leading light in the East Grinstead Amateur Shakespeare Repertory Company, and this is their avant-garde re-imagining of King Lear.

Hands of a Craftsman

Top Tip for Holiday Photographers : Try A Close-Up.

Sure, you want to photograph that marvelous sunset, or that interesting church, or the dolphin you thought you saw 400 yards off shore, etc. But though in the occasional close up. See, variety is the spice of life.

Bonus. Just saw this illustration on a "random picture" site, and liked it.

...and a basket of severed heads, your grace.

Funny thing, religion.

One minute, they're preaching about Love Thy Neighbour, Universal Brotherhood and suchlike. The next, they're adorning churches with statues of soldiers with a severed head at their feet.

Next, they're trumping that with a rather angry bishop, sporting a whole basket-full of severed heads.

Peace and love. Right.....

Bonus, from those nice chaps at B3ta...

Who Photographs the Photographers?

Henry does.

Another outing for the Kansas City Tax Office Retired Members Photography and Mule-Breeding Club, and as usual, someone thinks that it would be a jolly  wheeze to photograph th photographers. How delightfully Post- Modern.

Central Park?

OK, it may be Tedious Tuesday, and the slide above sure fits the bill, but I'm intrigued by it. My first thought was "that looks like Central Park, New York". 

But, where are the skyscrapers ?  Are the buildings in NY really that eclectic?

So, slidechums...is that Central Park?  I'd be interested to know.

"Oh Harold. Can we keep it?"

"You know, now that Chip and Missy have gone off to college, there is a suitable space back home. And I just bet that the holiday rep will know who to pay for the right papers."

"Sure Meryl, but what if it's not had its rabies shots?"

Impractical Wedding Fashions

Those naughty young scamps at Hollings have really pulled as fast one. Another fashion show, but in 1988 this time, and they've persuaded some models that these really are wedding dresses. Hmm.   Maybe for a Las Vegas stripper, but not in Manchester.

Possibly Winnipeg

This might be from Winnipeg in Ontario...but then again, it might not.

More shopping ideas... Seriously...how lazy are people?
