Agreed for the most part and not surprised by Mr. Wells assessment.

Pretty sure she didn't take many "bad" pics.

Don't be so judgmental. We have yet to see his concentration camp clown movie.

I agree with you, but I pulled this from the internet. It's hard to believe.
"He is an accomplished guitarist (number 40 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists), singer (number 72 on its list of 100 Greatest Singers)"

He really is a better guitarist than he usually gets credit for. An example of playing to the song instead being a massive technique guy.

thank you!

for any readers in a mood for a spot of unintended humour misseth not this late career entry from her

Della (1965)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059096/


she portrays the title character here so lots of screen time

numerous dialogue scenes involving co-players Paul Burke & Diane Baker

she has so much clout that she is able to demand a very strong filtre in an effort to camouflage the crags & arroyos of her famous mug

appears as though a whole jar of Vaseline was applied to the lens for her shots

the back and forth closeups between her an the other two players are an absolute riot given the respective contrast between her filtre and the unfiltred images of the other two players

Watching the film (and you can almost make it out in the pic here), it appears there is a kind of weight dangling and swinging from the front hub, like it's in a short leather belt. Does that make sense to anyone?
Just an idea but I have a vague recollection of seeing weighted loops placed in the hub so that when the wheel turned the strap remained hanging down but in essence cleaning the hub surface as it turned inside the loop

Yeah, hub shiners were a thing, well into the '60s or even the '70s, mostly on kid's bikes. But I think that thing on the Ordinary might be a lamp. They had 'em that hung there, powered by acetylene I think? Or maybe acetylene came later, with the Ordinaries using oil? I don't know much about that era. I see from their advertizing that Lucas made them from 1878.

That was the first thing I thought of -- but that photo has me wondering what kind of challenge refilling, lighting and extinguishing that lamp might be, with all those spokes in the way. Some kind of quick-release for the lamp?

I mentioned this place in another thread but there is a gentleman who builds and sells Hi-wheelers out of Alameda CA (Rideable Bicycle Replicas) and has a website for it if you want to google it. But if folk wanted an "authority" on it he is the NorCal top dog for a group called "The Wheelmen" who specialize in these types of bikes - and in fact have groups listed throughout the country, if anyone has the inclination lol
