Wood Snake 1965 Wood Snakes have a solid foundation in life. Unlike other Snakes, Wood Snakes are not as self-preserving. They are the least concerned with vanity. Wood Snakes have a down to Earth collection of friends and family to love. They spend a great deal of time with the people they love. Lucky for the Wood Snake they are loved in return by this special circle of people. The Wood Snake will rarely consult his group of loved ones for advice. Wood Snakes seldom listen to any advice and prefer to do things exactly as they wish. In spite of this tendency to ignore well meant advice, kindness and honesty are the Wood Snake’s greatest characteristics. Snakes are beautiful people with tremendous sexual appeal. Sleek and seductive if they want you, if they want you they will have you. Once captivated by a Snake it is hard to stop thinking about them. Snakes are quite prejudiced when choosing a partner and select one based on physical qualities. Snakes need a partner who can appreciate their quirky sense of humor and mad cap approach to life. Though beautiful and tempting to approach, most people wisely choose to allow the Snake to do all the pursuing. Snakes can be jealous and obsessive about their partner. A bit stand-offish with their loved ones, Snakes choose to hide their emotions rather than confront these feelings and insecurities. If you betray a Snake expect revenge not forgiveness. As with all signs, not everyone can live and be happy with a Snake. The Snakes partner must be patient, and tolerant. Wood signs are nourished by Water Signs, consumed by Fire signs, chopped by Metal Signs. Earth will be pushed aside by Wood Signs With just these few simple concepts the Wood Snake can seek the partner of their greatest compatibility In matters of love Wood Snakes fare best with the Sheep, Ox and Rooster. Avoid the Tiger and Pig. In short marry a Water Sheep and avoid the Fire and Metal Tiger. Chinese mythology has a special revered place for snakes. When the Supreme God was handing out assignments to the lesser Gods for the supervision over all the creatures of the earth everyone expressed reservations at being held accountable for the dominion of the snakes. Finally a minor god agreed to watch over snakes and as a reward for his service the Supreme Being offered to the volunteer the supervision of good luck. Accordingly good fortune is directly connected with our attitudes towards the snake. Ancient Chinese wisdom says a Snake in the house is a good omen because it means your family will not starve. There are many interpretations of this omen. For one the Snake is a great business person and can negotiate fortunate situations. Or it could mean that a Snake would be willing to sacrifice his possessions, something most Snakes have in abundance, in order to pay for his family’s food. Regardless all stories are representative of the Snake’s character and the measure of the value the Snake puts on his material wealth. Snakes are keen and cunning, quite intelligent and wise. Though the starting day of the year may vary the majority of people born in the years 1905, 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989 and 2001 are Snakes. The Snake is intuitive, introspective, refined and more collected than any of the other Animal Signs. Usually attractive people they take crisis with ease and rarely become flustered. Graceful people, they are exciting and dark at the same time. Always contemplative and private, the Snake is never outwardly emotional. Cunning and reticent he works modestly in the business environment. The Snake will plot and scheme to make things turn out exactly as he needs them to. No great communicators they often, in their confusion, become quite possessive when they set their minds on achieving the interest of a partner. The year of the Snake is the sixth in the Chinese astrological order following the year of the Dragon and occurs every 12 years. The Chinese name for Snake is SHE, the sign of the sagacity. May is the month of the Snake and as such the Western astrological counterpart is Taurus. Snakes are acute, aware, cunning and proud but often vain, and vicious.

Even though the original 1937 Ford was a breakthrough design, with headlights streamlined into the fenders for the first time and the famed flathead V-8 giving ample performance by the standards of the day, initial sales were disappointing. Only later was it to become a favorite of generations of hot rodders and customizers. However, the first ones to tweak the ‘37 kept the bodywork bone-stock, because their livelihood depended on stealth and speed-–and room for a load of moonshine!

One of the most controversial fights in boxing history. Ali v Liston – 25th May 1965 Around about a minute into the bout Ali connecting with a quick, chopping right to Liston’s head as Liston was moving toward him. The moment ultimately ended the fight and became known as “the phantom punch” as most people ringside did not see it. Many claim that Liston had bet against himself and that he took a dive because as he owed money to the mafia, and some believe that fears for his safety from Nation of Islam extremists forced him to get the hell out of the entire situation quickly.

Taken in 2008, I have given this picture some ‘60s treatment using CS3 and Silver Efex Pro which simulates the characteristics of black and white film, and makes this sort of effect a breeze. My favourite film Kodak Tri-X, had a speed of 400 ASA (400 ISO in digital terms) but I used to rate it at 200 ASA (over exposing by 1 stop) to ensure clean highlights and help make a high contrast print in the darkroom. Prints for glossy magazine reproduction were best printed a little ‘hard’ meaning contrasty, as they lost it slightly in reproduction. This style of printing gave a classic edge to ‘60s black and white photography and it can still be seen today in books of that period.. This is as close to how I would have printed from a negative of this picture, usually on Kodak grade 3 paper, grain and all! “Technical Details:” Camera: Nikon D3 / Lens: Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 / ISO: 200 / Exposure: 1/250 sec at f/16 / Flash: Bowens / Flash Mode: White Umbrella / Post Processing: Photoshop CS3 & Nik Software Silver Efex Pro © 2008 John Hooton Photography

This is a photo of a typical Sunday morning’s training day for the Langwarrin, Victoria, Fire Brigade taken about 1965. / In front a newly built ( by the volunteers) emergency vehicle, at the rear of the photo, and inside the station, our Country Fire Authority supplied fire truck. I was a member of the brigade then, communications officer my title. We were supplied the truck , training and equipment but we did not receive helmets or any protective clothing, that came later . The team work was great and we had a great fire brigade captain and regional officer . In those days we had no women members but there was a Ladies Auxiliary who supported the volunteers in fund raising and refreshments for the fire fighters. / Canon Canonet 35 mm

Motor Psycho (1965) / Based on a poster from the sixties. By the mid-60’s, with so many of Meyer’s imitators churning out endless variations on the same theme, the box office pulling power of the ‘nudie cutie’ began to decline. It was at this point that Meyer started adding increasing violence to his films.” Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! ” and Motor Psycho are two of his most memorable and celebrated works from this period.

This 16” x 20” oil I painted shortly after I arrived in Jamaica in July 1965. I ended up trading it for a meal and bed at Stacey’s guest house in Montego Bay and that eventually led to me helping Stacey build and run a small art gallery on the beach. Stacey gave it back to me many years later.

If anyone is following this current series of the ‘old’ paintings from my ‘ancient’ past, then this unfinished work is next. It’s the place I spent two years at while not checking in to see if my draft notice had actually arrived. This is the view across Montego Bay from the veranda of the 80 year old beach house, now Stacy’s. / It was an experiment at the time to try and capture the unique and wonderful goings on at this establishment. Thus the modified entry walk, the nude and map of Jamaica up in the Almond tree leaves. I submit it here as part of my growing retrospective and in homage to Stacy and all the characters who made it up the walk. / The 40” x 30” Masonite board was painted with interior house paint with colorized additives.
