This is a bittersweet day: I am saying goodbye to History in Photos. I've been at this for five years and have put a lot of time and effort into finding historical photos that - to me, and hopefully to you - are interesting, educational, and have something to say about the human condition. Other priorities are now calling, but it has been a vastly interesting - and occasionally obsessive - journey for me. I never did this for page views but I hope it has been interesting for you as well.
I end, somewhat symbolically, with the final set of photos from the 1954 road trip taken by the four Canadian ladies.

Thompson family stopping for lunch, Kananaskis, Alberta, August 15, 1954

Anna Brown in the Rockies, Kananaskis Road, Alberta, August 15, 1954

Thank you very much. I had a look every day before going to sleep.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for all the wonderful photos, your time and your energy. Its been amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your time and effort for so long. I am sure I am not alone in telling you how much your work was appreciated.
ReplyDeleteIt must be a relief in some senses to no longer have this commitment.
ReplyDeleteIt saddens me that so many blogs are no longer maintained - I am not referring to you when I say this.
In the last few years people are leaving bits and pieces and traces of their activities and interests all over the place.
I myself lost my 'impetus'(for want of a better word) for maintaining my own studio blog and do regret it. Having said that I do want to return to regular posting. It's printmakingart.blogspot by the way.
A diary or online journal can be of great use to the individual and I have referred to my own blog from time to time when trying to remember how I used a specific technique or when that exhibition in e.g., China took place and so on. I love blogs so I hope people keep writing them - and I really do appreciate the commitment and time it requires
so mainly I just want to say a big THANK YOU and
good luck with your further projects.
Sad news to hear you're calling it quits. I've been quietly checking this page, and some of your others, for a couple of years now, and have always enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteAll the best for your future endeavours.
Jack.
Thank you for all of your efforts. I too have enjoyed your posts over the years and wish you the best. Cheers.

Thanks for all you did. It's nice to look at historic pictures and for a brief moment see that part of history that now only resides perhaps as a photograph to some. For others - a memory. Again thanks!
ReplyDeleteI am very grateful that you put time and effort into finding these amazing and interesting old photos. Thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteReally I would you like to say thank you for share this amazing post.

Hi!!! Am so happy I got mine from Mike Fisher. My blank ATM card can raise €2 000 daily. I got it from him last week and now I have €14 000 free. Empty ATM will withdraw money from any ATM machines and there is no name for it, it is not traceable and now I have money in business and enough money for me and my family to live. I'm really happy that I met Mike Fisher because I met two people before him and they took my money without knowing that they were scams. But I'm happy now. Mike Fisher sent a card through DHL and I got it in two days. Get your own card from him now he is not like any other scammer to pretend to have an ATM card, he gives it free to help people even if it is illegal but it helps a lot and nobody ever gets caught. I am grateful to Mike Fisher because he changed my story suddenly. The card works in all countries except Mali and Nigeria. Mike Fisher's email address is: blankatm002@gmail.com

This post helped me to know about the illusion of control. I think it is the tendency for people to overrate their ability to control different events. It occurs when someone feels a sense of control over outcomes that they demonstrably do not Jogos online
