John Lennon
 
Some of my "pet projects" which include drummer Bernard Purdie's tenuous "connection" to the Beatles, John Lennon in Germany (1960-62), the construction of Armoury Studios, a selection of my "pareidolia" images, and some information on the design and construction of Quilchena Elementary School in Vancouver.
Pareidolia
I can't help it. I see "faces" everywhere, and I do mean everywhere!
Coal Hole Covers
For centuries -- up until the mid 1950s -- London homes were heated with coal-fires. To avoid dirty, dusty bags of coal being carried through the house, in some neighborhoods coal was delivered via a "coal hole" into to a vault beneath the sidewalk.
John Lennon in Germany
Between 1960 and 1962, before they were famous, The Beatles performed at a number of seedy nightclubs in Hamburg, Germany.
Bernard Purdie
Bernard Purdie claims to have substituted for Ringo on 21 Beatle recordings. Really?!?
Armoury Studios
Some "behind the walls" photos and notes on the construction of "The Armoury".
Quilchena School
A brief history of Vancouver's Quilchena Elementary School.  This page is still being developed, but there's a little bit to look at.
