Checked it yet again, and found that my last post was wrong, too. The first of the older pics occur in between the first and second(should have been the third)new batches of pics.
Jeez Louise, I'm gettin' senile.

Oopsie, Poopsie!!! Shit Happens
Checked the blog after I got through up-loading the last recent post, and found that I'd inserted three "I Was A Teen-Age Arsehole" pics in between the second and third new pic batches.
Attribute that to sloppy editing on my part.

Some New, Some Old, Some Black-And-White and Some Colour
This latest pic batch is a mix of new and old pics, with the newest ones at the top, and the oldest at the bottom of the batches below.
The first of the new ones is entitled "Dying Ugly", and belong to the "Night And The City" urban crime series. In these photos, we see two men, laying on a city sidewalk, dying from gun-shot wounds inflicted on each other.
Was the cause of the shoot-out a robbery attempt, mugging or drug deal gone bad???? The end of a work-related or neighbourly feud???? I leave any supposition, Dear Viewers, up to you to make.
The second is a memorial pic, entitled "British Grave, The Somme, France, July 1916, 1a", and was originally submitted to the 1/6th Scale Figure, a British-based action figure collectors' group on MSN, in honour and rememberance of the estimated 50,000 British dead, wounded and missing that resulted from the first day of the First Battle of the Somme, 1st July, 1916, though the pic itself was submitted a day or two after the 90th anniversary of the battle's start had passed.
The third depicts a Senegalese colonial soldier in French service in March, 1917, just a month or so before their division, like so many French divisions at that time, were thrown away in the massive Allied offensives against the Germans in the Champagne-Artois areas of central France.
It was as a result of those bloodily futile offensives that a massive mutiny took place in the French Army afterwards, with many mutineers being drawn by lot and shot after the mutinies were suppressed. This set of incidents has been depicted in Humphery Cobb's novel, Paths of Glory, which was adapted into a film of the same title starring Kirk Douglas in 1957.
The sets below the above-named are re-doings of pics from the "I Was A Teen-Age Arsehole", which is my cock-eyed take on troubled teen and gang kids' flicks of the late '50's and early '60's, combined with my equally cock-eyed takes on '70's Hong Kong martial arts and gang flicks.
Well, Folks, that's it for now, though I have a few pics in the works that should come out sometime very soon in the immediate future.
'Til then, thanks for droppin' in.

One Last Bit
Well, whaddya know!!!! The Sun-Bather pic popped up in Post Edit after all.
Three Cheers and a Tiger for that!!!!!
Before I go off to wherever it is I go when not posting here, here are a couple of new pics of Amigo The Cat, taken on Sunday last, while I was outside the Radio Ranch, taking a couple of Father's Day gift figure portrait pics for me Old Man.
Amigo got out of the house, so, while he was outside, I took some small advantage of the situation to fire off a couple of pics.
He's a cute little devil, that's for sure.
Quick Note of Correction
Forgot to mention that the last two series of pics just before the Night And The City entry at the bottom consisted of one, a group portrait of a trio of Yank soliders during World War Two called "The Pipe Smokers", while the other is a set of tribute pics to the men of the 442nd and 100th Regimental Combat Teams, which were made up of Japanese-American troops, some of whom came fresh out of the detention camps set up for their people by our government, in all its un-generosity, during that war.
They, and their people, deserved a Helluva lot better than they got during World War Two.
Also, don't know if the Sun-Bather pic will pop up or not here, as, alone out of the various pics I've posted here this morning, it's the only one I can't view in Post Edit.
If it doesn't, oh, well.
Just hope the others will suffice to keep you lot happy.

Picture House-Cleaning
Got a bug up my arse yesterday evening, and decided to post some pics that I'd taken between January and May of this year, but hadn't posted here 'til now.
They range from the allegedly erotic(The sun-bather pic you see just below it, and, no, I'm not some pervie with a taste for amputee flesh. I just wanted to do a pic where one sees an attractive woman, who happens to have a disability, in a naturally erotic context. Make of that what you will), to actuality pictures just below that(my depictions of the Anglo-Australian-Muslim-Australian race riots at the North Cronulla Beach area of Sydney, Australia, of December last), portrait pics from both the Korean War(just below the North Cronulla Beach pics), which consist of portraits of American, Republic of Korea, and Japanese soldiers and sailors respectively, and, last but not least, a pic from the Night And The City series, shot in day-light for once, about the funny things that the day light sometimes reveals.
While the out-put isn't the greatest in number, it just goes to show that I wasn't being a completely lazy git during the hiatus I took from posting here.
Enjoy, if you will.
