Such is memory, that it tries to convince us that that was indeed the reality… some of us know better than that… some!

A snapshot of the Zig-Zag Railway at Lithgow in NSW. An engineering feat of it’s time, and today, it’s still a marvel to experience – and not just for the train buffs.

Most of us can remember a farm we used to love to visit or a farm we once called home. Whatever the case, this nostalgic scene brings back memories of simpler times and family ties. I talked to the elderly couple who built this barn. It’s over 50 years old, they told me; they built it themselves. Their house burned down and was rebuilt, but the old barn survived and still stands, a page in a memory book that will never be erased.

This small town barber shop has been in existence for almost sixty years; my father, 84 years young, is still at the helm, taking care of his clientele who prefer Daddy’s skills (and conversation) to the modern day, slick salons and spas. Here’s the old pro giving a trim to his great-grandson who was in town for the holidays. Visiting Daddy’s barbershop is like a step back in time; it may not be full of fancy products or have fashionable decor, but it’s got character and the old gents who congregate there have interesting stories to tell and rich, abundant lives to share. I feel much more at home there than in the sleek salons.
I love this image because it’s a reminder to me that daily life and worship are not separate entities but more like two hands folded in prayer, a prayer that flows like a peaceful melody from sunup to sundown and throughout the night in wonderful continuity and harmony. Taken at Acadian Village in Lafayette, Louisiana.

Some of you may have seen an earlier post of my 84 year old father cutting my 5 year old grandson’s hair. Sandy Stewart gave me the idea to add this image (a different shot) in sepia tones. I also added the diffuse glow filter to give the image a “look back in time” feel to it. Thanks, Sandy, for your suggestion; it was a good one! My father, a WWII veteran who survived the sinking of the Yorktown in the South Pacific, has been cutting hair since post war days. He has a collection of sweet potato labels which are scattered throughout his shop and a ton of other memorabilia on the walls. If you View Larger, you’ll see to Daddy’s left a photo of him cutting my son’s hair. My son, who is now 33 years old, was probably about the same age as my grandson in that picture. When Daddy showed my son the finished haircut by producing a little hand held mirror, Tom always put his hands over his eyes. He was too shy to see his cute little self up close like that! I love the way the generations are documented here and the way Paw Paw Taylor, as my son and grandson call him, is shown still working and still enjoying it in his golden years of life. Hope you like this image, “The way it was and still is . . .” Another view: /

Yesteryear’s window… ...but with a dash of modern day. Vintage meets modern. If you look closely, you will see the back side of a FedEx envelope, a spray bottle of 409, a roll of paper towels, a jar of peanut butter, as well as two boxes of Halogen spot lights.

I shot this some time ago with the idea of doing some post processing on it. Well, I finally got around to it. This shot was taken just outside Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills. I cant think of the name but they sell quality products and is well worth a look if you’re up that way.
This is a scene from Acadian Village in Lafayette, Louisiana.
The birth of the motor car in the 1890s meant the need for fuel and initially this came in the form of 2 gallon cans which could be bought from ironmongers, chemists and the like. In 1905, Anglo-American sold 75% of petrol under the brand name Pratts (which later became Esso). After World War One, with the increase demand for fuel from the increasing numbers of motor vehicles on the road, the need for speedy delivery became high priority and the first roadside Bowser petrol pumps, which were hand-operated, appeared. These Kerbside pumps were often criticised for being ugly to the country and community by being placed literally anywhere.
Memories of days gone by.
Love is an interesting concept, we love the things that helped us in outr past….however those things never really leave us, they just evolve into better things… How precious is it to love….and to watch your partner evolve daily into something even more beautiful than the day before :)
Arthur Richardson says and I quote: “I have seen the same type of vehicle when I was a boy on Razorback mountain near camden with a tree growing in the exactly the same position it was there for many years and maybe still is. / I can assure you the one I knew of the vehicle came first as I watched the tree grow Arthur added ” Next to ute and tree there use to be a little service station which was demolished when the razorback upgrade was done. The story is true. I first saw the tree and ute in 1951. / Thank you Arthur for that history on this amazing piece. There is a grand old house far up on the hill and local folk say that the truck is to remind the family of the blood sweat and tears that made them what they are today, whichever came first it is clear that now the tree has prevailed, it is about 7 metres high, so, which do you think came first? / taken wih my Kodak Z8612IS camera on an auto setting and slightly zoomed / (about ten %) / thanks for visiting /
