I don't seem to be able to upload these j-pegs to this site.
Not sure why?

hugh tifft replied to James Morley's discussion Quest to find old photos of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (Kew Gardens)"HI James,
Yes they are paget plates. I'm guessing at the date. I haven't looked at them in a log time. I really collect color earlier than the 1930's. I'll take a look at them today and get back to you later.
It's possible I…"
James Morley replied to James Morley's discussion Quest to find old photos of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (Kew Gardens)"Hi Hugh
Anything is of interest to be honest - you never know what they might show.
You say colour plates. I don't suppose they are Paget's are they? It's just that I have recently been in touch with someone who has about 30…"

Two photo history related news items from Kew - a new book and a request for help with a research project.1. New book: "The story of Kew Gardens in photographs" - http://shop.kew.org/books-dvds/kew-in-pictures.htmlHaving worked at Kew for 19 years I have long had an interest in early photographs of this notable institution and its gardens. In Kew's own collection there are two exceptional full-plate Claudet daguerreotypes taken…See More

James Morley posted a blog postFlickr Commons Celebrates 5th Birthday
Last week saw 5 years since the Library of Congress became the inaugural member of Flickr Commons. Since then it has grown to 56 institutions and just under 250,000 images. What's more over 28,000 images have had a location set, and over 50,000 have had an estimated date recorded. This has made it possible for me to do some interesting experiments…See More
James Morley commented on Michael Wong's blog post Auction: 1860 Welsh photo album by Edward Williams"Looking at the samples on the listing (http://www.mullocksauctions.co.uk/lot-48614-wales_%E2%80%93_photographs_a_fine_photo_album_c1860s.html) it looks rather later than 1860 to me, but still an interesting bit of social history."
James Morley commented on Meir Berk's blog post Calotype of bridge"Hi Meir, I posted this out to my @PhotosOfThePast twitter followers and very quickly got the location - it's the English Bridge, Shrewsbury. A quick search on Google Images confirms this and reveals many paintings and other images of the…"

James Morley replied to Gavin Maitland's discussion Seaside Tintypes:"It's worth having a search on Flickr - the phrase 'beach tintype' comes up with lots of great examples. http://www.flickr.com/search/?ss=2&w=all&q=beach+tintype&m=text

Marcel Safier replied to James Morley's discussion Researching early photographers in Ealing"Hi James, George CORPE Whitfield (c.1832-1917) the partner of Samuel Lock in Lock and Whitfield was the father of George Stephen Whitfield (1860-1937). I am rather fond of L&W cartes de visite and have several columes of "Men of Mark"…"
Alasdair Kirk replied to James Morley's discussion Researching early photographers in Ealing"Would be interested to see what you find - my grandfather was born in Ealing (Greystoke Hall), and my photo collection is from only a few miles away - though the only ealing in it is a Mr Ealing!"
James Morley commented on Michael Wong's blog post Website: Old San Francisco"It's a great concept and very nicely executed. And wow, so many photos, all seemingly very accurately geocoded. The one thing it lacks though compared with Historypin (and other sites like What Was There?) is the overlay on Google…"
About me
I am a private collector with relatively little experience but an unbridled passion for old photographs!
I have set up and run a website for identification of old photographs - see www.whatsthatpicture.com
A very small and fairly random selection of my vintage photographs can be seen in my galleries on Flickr

The launch coincided with the availability of new features and also a mobile app (currently just for Android smartphones). One of the key features is being able to discover the photographs taken at any location - including the ones taken near where you are…

Preston said… Hello James, I've tried to reply to your message (ref: 1920's racing cars) BUT disappointingly your message/the message you responded to AND my ?Leica 250 Prototype blog have all disappeared from my 'My Page' overnight! BUT to try to answer your question: unfortunately they are road cars at a Gymkana (so I cannot be of much help) .... if it had been a Grand Prix!
You could possibly try our old friend Bill Boddy at 'Motor Sport' magazine - they also have a keen interest in vintage motoring. Alan M. Preston
