Horse Photography: The Dynamic Guide for Horse Lovers (Horses Ponies)

Why photograph horses? Because, in the words of author Carol Walker, they ''fill our hearts,'' and capturing them on film or in digital images expresses that relationship. We want to catch and hold--and show--their spirit, their tremendous joy in living, their unique personalities, and of course, their incomparable beauty. And we want the quality of our images to honor our glorious subjects.
Photographing horses presents a double challenge, the first being the technical aspects--the lenses, the setting, the light and speed, and how all those relate to the subject. The second element is more elusive; it is horse knowledge--the educated ability to see how a horse moves, sense its moods, and understand its psychology as a prey animal.
Horse Photography: The Dynamic Guide for Horse Lovers presents the tools to master both technique and subject matter. More than that, the book will stir your creativity and inspire you to spend more time focusing on these animals you admire.

AEC was a United Kingdom based vehicle manufacturer which built buses, motorcoaches and lorries from 1912 until 1979. The acronym stood for the Associated Equipment Company, but this name was hardly ever used; instead it traded under the AEC and ACLO brands.

The London General Omnibus Company or LGOC, was the principal bus operator in London between 1855 and 1933. It was also, for a short period between 1909 and 1912, a motor bus manufacturer.

The London General Omnibus Company was founded in 1855 to amalgamate and regulate the many independent horse-drawn omnibus services then operating in London. Originally an Anglo-French enterprise, also known as the Compagnie Generale des Omnibus de Londres, the LGOC soon became the largest omnibus operator in London. It bought out hundreds of independently-owned buses and established a consistent level of service for its fleet. Within a year, the LGOC controlled 600 of London's 810 omnibuses.

LGOC began using motor omnibuses in 1902, and the last LGOC horse-drawn bus ran on 25 October 1911. In 1908 the LGOC bought the Road Car Company, the Vanguard Company, and its other main rivals, thereby gaining a virtual monopoly in London.

In 1912, the Underground Group, which owned most of the London Underground, bought the LGOC. In 1933, the LGOC, along with the rest of the Underground Group, became part of the new London Passenger Transport Board. The name London General fell into disuse, and London Transport instead became synonymous with the red London bus.

In the privatisation of London bus services in the 1980s, London Transport created a series of shadow bus operating companies with names of geographic or historic significance, and one of these was christened London General in honour of the LGOC. The new London General was initially privatised by management buy-out, and acquired by the Go-Ahead Group in 1996.

Kleeneze, the company that revolutionised door-to-door selling in Bristol. The multi-million pound Kleeneze Company is now an international concern but it wasn't always that way.

It began in 1923 as a small work bench below the stairs in a Whitehall factory. The company was the brainchild of Dr Harry Crook who was to become a Bristol Alderman, Sheriff and finally Lord Mayor He died in 1970. Dr Crook spent some time in America as senior executive of the Full Brush Company .

On his return from America in 1920 he - canvassed door-to-door to test the market in Bristol. This convinced him of the possibilities of selling a revolutionary type of brush- twisted-in-wire- and of the direct method of marketing and selling, for which the company is perhaps most well known. He hired space in a Whitehall factory and bought his first equipment - two vices for twisting the brush, a pair of pliers and scissors for trimming.

He sold door-to-door and within a few months was bringing in enough to hire his first salesman. Sales at the end of the first year were - worth nearly ?4,000. Door-to-door selling remained at the heart of the business, which grew to be one of the world's biggest brush-makers. Kleeneze moved to a new factory at Hanham in 1928. The company then employed 1,500 salesmen and it was estimated that every housewife in the country received four personal visits each year.

The brushes for the domestic market alone used nearly 300 tons of fibres, bristles and wax, 865 trees, 150 tons of fine-gauge steel wire and 15 tons of horsehair. Brush handles were, surprisingly, filled with cement.
