I really like Mainline Engines.

But it has to be said that the TV series did Buzz Buzz better than the original book.

In the book, the story kinda just ends right after James gets stung and leaves his train behind. It's said that BoCo took the train in his place and the other engines make fun of James that night in the sheds, but that's pretty much it.

The TV series gives us a whole montage of James and his crew's various silly attempts to get rid of the bees. It's just a lot more fun.

I hate to say it, but this is something of a Percy and the Trousers situation, where the book version is really not much more than a short (albeit still amusing) anecdote, which the TV series then expands into being an actual story.

I think this is in part a consequence of Awdry's strict adherence to realism, where if it didn't happen in reality, it can't happen in the story. Not that this is a bad thing, in many ways I think Wilbert was very creative in how he would work around this, and in several cases even use it to his advantage.

But on some occasions this refusal to bend the rules a bit, and let the characters do more silly character things, hinders the story's ability to be complete, because it's missing big chunks which are necessary for it to really feel like a story.

The TV series didn't really care about real railway practices and procedures, and while overall this created numerous problems, in this case it meant they were willing to actually give the audience the rest of the story.

Anyways GAS MAIN LINE ENGINES! MAIN LINE ENGINES SWEEP! LITERALLY THE BEST AWDRY BOOK BY A LONG SHOT! MAIN LINE ENGINES FOR THE WIN!

Oh man, you're just asking for someone to come and take aim at MLE

SotD #111 / RW Art Month #20: Beehives

[jovialstudentlandposts-blog]

After researching a lot of photographers from the 50s-80s I wanted to look into how photographers now are representing themes and ideas using children. 

I came across this image by Jonas Bendiksen, taken in 2006. I loved the composition of this image. The frame is packed full of interesting material, all held together by this young girl in the centre. The young girl looks out of place to me. Everything else chaotic and messy around her yet she is presented quite neatly. She holds herself well and we can tell she is familiar with the area and is safe and content where she is. 

“INDIA. Mumbai. 2006. A girl walks along a water pipe in the Industrial Area of Dharavi. Although it functions as a throroughfare through this area of the slum, the water in the pipes is headed for the more affluent southern areas of the city. Dharavi is one of Mumbai's biggest and longest standing slums. Home to somewhere between 600 000 and one million people, it is a beehive of recycling and manufacturing industries. However, Dharavi sits on prime real estate right in the heart of the booming megapolis, and is in close vicinity to the new Bandra-Kurla Complex, a new financial hub. Dharavi is now scheduled for redevelopment, meaning everything in the slum, for good and bad, is set to be demolished.”http://pro.magnumphotos.com/C.aspx?VP3=SearchResult&VBID=2K1HZO4NPRLBJ9&SMLS=1&RW=1440&RH=839

I love the way Bendiksen chose not to show the magnitude of the slum or its vast population or the industrial side of it and focussed in on this girl. I believe he has done this as a tool to hit home the horrible reality that this girls home, this slum, will be demolished. In a way I feel that showing it like is a smarter way to provoke emotion from an audience. You build a life for this girl, who she is, where she came from, where she's going and then you realise her reality and it leaves a mark. This is a different approach than photographing over crowded slums, sweaty and sickly. With the risk of sounding cold, we have seen those same images time after time and you become immune. I believe this is a far cleverer way to represent this story.
