Cool pics. It's sad that many couples here spend $50k on a wedding, go to some packaged resort as a honeymoon, then return to work 5 days later. Commercialism run amuck.

Motoring around the countryside in a British convertible . . . mad dogs and Englishmen, indeed.

I love stuff like this. Years ago I bought a small personal photo album on a flee market that belonged to a young man that took self-portraits from 1927 'till 1938. It starts with him being a kid up 'till his marriage. It sounds weird but it's one of my most precious things I own and I have a pretty decent art-collection.

If you like undiscovered old photographs, this is the documentary to see:

Documentary Film Finding Vivian Maier | Vivian Maier Photographer


Saw it last week. Fascinating.

As a kid, I used to fish with my dad at the base of Flamborough Cliffs pictured in their wedding photos. There were long iron ladders from the top down to the flat rocks at the bottom. Kinda scary climbing down to the base with fishing gear.
