A replica of the Imp from Lincoln Cathedral on a building in St. Catharines, Ontario. The story starts in the 14th Century with Satan sending 2 imps to the Lincoln Cathedral in England to cause trouble. The Imps started by smashing up tables and chairs and destroying the Angel Choir. One of the imps was brave and started throwing rocks at an angel but the other imp cowered under the broken tables and chairs. The angel turned the first imp to stone and this gave the second imp a chance to escape. The first Imp still sits high above the Cathedral while the second Imp was never found. There are several versions to the story and no one will ever know what really happened. St. catharines architects – Arthur Nicholson and Robert Macbeth – decided to include a similar Imp in the building’s design.

oil/rag paper/pastels/ 29.5×40 / Classy in his red vest / Men with Hats / Men With Hats encompasses the evolution of portraiture. Dynamics are the essence of every image and yet each image lives in a past moment never to occur again. My interest with this series is to validate living through events and perceptions of those events through long and short term recall. My thoughts and documentation of this series of work has changed and continues to change as I create new pieces. Keep looking!

St. Catharines, Ontario. Tripod / Shutter Speed: 1/6 second / F-Stop: f/22 / ISO 100 / / The gristmill was built in 1872 on land owned by Robert Chappel to process wheat, oats, barley and rye. It was constructed of native stone quarried from Beaverdams Creek to form the mill pond. The mill stones (flinty burr stones) originally came to Canada from the LaFerte fields of France and were brought over as ballast on ships planning to take back logs for sale in France. In 1875, the City of St Catharines Water Works Commission purchased property at DeCew Falls and constructed dams across Beaverdams Creek, interfering with the water supply to the mill. As a consequence, in 1878, the City of St Catharines was compelled to purchase the property from Chappel. This was the beginning of a long relationship between the City and the site that is locally known as “Morningstar Mill.” The City proceeded to lease the mill to a number of millers. Ellis and Drake ran the mill for a time and their names appear on the original sign, under layers of paint. By the early 1880s the third Welland Canal had been completed and resulted in an abundance of water to power the mill. The City sold the property to Wilson Morningstar in 1883, who in turn leased it to Charles Knoll. Around 1892, the interior of the Mill was destroyed by fire but the original stone structure remained intact. Morningstar, assisted by his brother Wallace, rebuilt the mill installing new equipment acquired in Toronto from the Greey Company. Wilson Morningstar operated the mill until his death in by heart attack in1933. The water-powered turbine seized shortly thereafter and the mill was abandoned. Morningstar’s widow, Emma, sold the property in 1941 to Ontario Hydro who repaired the turbine building. In 1961 Hydro leased the property to the City of St Catharines, and the next year Mountain Mills Museum was opened with Donald Robson, Morningstar’s grandson, as the curator. Ontario Hydro declared the property surplus and the City purchased the mill site in 1989. In 1992 the volunteer group “Friends of Morningstar Mill” was established and they began to restore and then operate the mill as an operating gristmill. At the start of the restoration project, much of the machinery and stones were as Morningstar had left them in 1933.

I took this photo of a Canada Goose at the Green Ribbon Trail in St. Catharines, Ont., Canada / I just got my new 300mm f/4 lens with the 1.7 teleconverter so was anxious to get there to see what I shots I could get. It was an overcast day today so I had to use ISO 400. I also took some shots of a Great Blue Heron and a Green Heron but haven’t played around with them yet to see if they are good enough to post. Nikon d80 / 1/100 sec at f/6.7 / 1/3 EV / ISO 400 / Focal Length 500
