Thanks for the comment. Wildfires and earthquakes are pretty normal in California. I covered quite a few when I was still working as a phoJo in the Marine Corps in San Diego. They devastate when they come to populated areas and the Santa Ana winds are blowing hard. Now though, these are being sparked by homeless folks angry at the government and wealthy who could care less about the people living in poverty. Huge problem and getting huger.

Bob, What is going on with John ? Will he be back ? Soon ? Meanwhile, you are doing a fine job of keeping the photos interesting and quite the sense of understated humor.

Gerry Burke		15-Jan-2019 19:14
John. What happened to the graveyard photos.

Traveller2		25-Mar-2018 00:56
I so miss your photos and sense of humor. Hope things are going better for you and yours.

Martin Broderick left a message on 29th Nov 2011. He was saying he used to work with a man called Ernie Cutbill at Phillip Mills a long, long time ago. I am Ernie's oldest grandchild....I would love to hear about my Grandad. He was always whistling. I posted just now on the other site with the photos about him. Perhaps Martin Broderick will tell me more....

Hi John - re, Cissie Violet A. Goldfinch, I saw your photo of her headstone. I am her great-niece although I never knew her. I would love to contact any member of her family to try and connect. My father, Donald Mackrow, was her nephew. Cissie's brother, Albert Mackrow, was my father's father. If you have info about the photo, please email me. I'd really appreciate it! Thank you, Julie Mackrow (Vancouver Island, BC, Canada)

Hello John, I have been looking at this boat with a view to building one, your model looks excellent, can you help and advise if there are any plans I can buy and whom from. Best Regards Barry btw I usually go to Bushey Park with a group of us to sail our models, and what a range of models, one of the best is Ashleys Lotus as featured in the model boat mag last month.

John, you are one in a million! We love you.

Guest		30-Jan-2013 11:46
Hi John, with regard to your gallery photos of Streatham cemetery and to assist any researhers looking at the annotation to the gravestone images, you might like to adjust the dates on some of the photos. I am the archivist for the Firefighter memorial Trust and can advise that the following dies on 6 November not 16th. The gravestones are engraved correctly, it is the added text that is incorrect. HH Butcher, JJ lewis, OJ Steele, WH Childs, MW davies. All dies on 6th November. Also the correct spelling for SG Duwegier should be Du Vergier. Thanks for displaying them Alan

traveller2		02-Jan-2013 17:51
I love your sense of humor with your photos. I'm not sure that stands good for either of us, but do please keep them up.

Your comment on the Rolls-Royce Corniche is incorrect. This car predates BMW ownership.

John, thank you very much for visiting my little corner of PBase and leaving a comment, it was very much appreciated. I will spend more time poking around your site. It always intrigues me to see something new through someone else`s eyes.

Guest		19-Aug-2012 19:00
Looking at your photos of Wandsworth Cemetery brings back so many memories. My twin sister Michaela passed away in 2002 and is buried there. For 8 years I haven not been to visit her grave as I live in Germany and didn't have a chance to go to London again. Tomorrow I am going... and sometime this week visit her grave. Thank you once again for your photos... Love & light Anja

Hi John. See you have a photograph for Henry WARD and Olive Florence STOCKER and son Henry. I believe son Henry married Ida Florence DELLER on 25 July 1936. Ida is my father's twin sister. If you have anyway of confirming marriage or if the couple had any children would very much appreciated indeed.

Chris Anderson		20-Sep-2011 11:37
Hello John, I loved viewing your amazing photos. I was wondering if I could have your permission to post your photo of "Eugen Sandow's"grave from Putney Vale Cemetery on the "findagrave.com" website. They show his old marker and would love to send them your nice photo of the unusual monument. I know the person on that site who can add it if I get your permission. Thanks for the wonderful tour of England in your photos!

Guest		19-Jan-2011 20:29
Hi John Your photos are superb. I see that you have photos of a couple of the gravestones for 'Bailey' in Putney Vale Cemetery. I believe that Peter Bailey was also buried there who also had relatives in Portsmouth. I wondered if you could please post a photograph of his gravestone here. It would be good to make contact with Neil Bailey who is related to the family and has also posted a comment here in your guestbook. Best wishes, Margaret

Andi alexandrou		16-Jan-2011 11:50
Dear mr Cooper, i have found your photographs whilst searching for information on River Wandle. I am an art teacher and working on a GCSE project on waterways. I hope you are happy for me to use the photos as part of an introduction into the issues regarding the Wandle? I also love cyprus and was interested in the building photos. i hope to do the same soon in a village near larnaca. Thanks you. Andi

John Cooper		29-Dec-2010 01:18
Guest, thanks for that info. I must admit the net looked really thick, but I could not get close enough to ask. The photo was taken with a zoom lens.

Mark F		04-Dec-2010 18:36
Hi John, Found this website whilst looking for where Marc Bolan died. Your photos are superb,and next time i visit London i will go to Barnes to see the shrine for myself.

Hi I see you have some good pics of the River Race again this year - was wondering if you had any of either number 269 (Corsair) or 282 I think it was (Roscarrock) Regards

Dianne		18-Sep-2010 06:47
Mr Cooper Found Two of your photo's of graves that I have been searching for. I am hoping it is okay with you if I can download to my computer for my personal use the two wadsworth photos in putney vale cemetery. Thanks to you I now have another lead in my family research. Regards Dianne

Guest		13-Aug-2010 21:37
Please post the photo of the current monument for Eugen Sandow to a memorial for him on findagrave.com. It is a free site and only the unmarked and previous memorials are posted. The memorial may be accessed by keywording on Eugen Sandow Grave, the link should take you there. Registration for posters is also free and spam-free. Thank you. Vincent Astor Memphis, TN

Neil Bailey		22-Jul-2010 15:11
Thank you for the photograph of my Great-Grandfathers grave in Putney Vale Cemetery (actually a headstone only as he was lost on the 'Bayano' and his body never recovered. I had found his name on the Navy Memorial at Portsmouth, but had no idea that my Aunt Edie had added his name to the headstone. Thanks again - I will visit the grave next month.

Your photograph of a Training Ship saying possibly the TS Arethusa, this is definitely the TS Conway moored on the Thames. The TS Arethusa (ex Peking) was moored at Upnor near Rochester pn the Medway.

Hi there, what a fascinating site. I did not expect that the mystery surrounding Marc Bolan's accident is so very much alive... Great though sad pictures of course. From a Born to Boogie Fan, Klaus Turkey/England

edward jones		10-Sep-2008 19:09
Hello John. love your photos, couple of years ago you kindley photographed my mothers grave for me. Like the photos of battersea registry office. I believe that is where my sister was married, same year 1946. she still lives in octavia road. i will be phoning her tomorrow and find out if it is the same.

carol		09-Jun-2008 15:35
John.....just to thank you for your sympathetic reply (on email) to my note posted. It is much appreciated. Thanks again

carol		25-May-2008 10:46
whilst you are insistent that your photos are copyright and should not be used by anyone without your permission. It is with even greater sadness that you, sir, have not asked permission of us the family of one particular gravestone that you have taken a picture of and posted on this page....... !!!!!!! your comments to my email address would be appreciated.

Get your story right before you post. I was a secret for the last 7 years of Marc's life. I am sorry that I went off on your web space but I have gotten to the point that the rumors and lies have to stop. Gloria was guilty and should have came back to stand trial like she ws summons to appear. She failed to appear and only the guilty flee justice for so long. Thanks for the chance to vent.

oddlegs		11-May-2007 07:20
Like the cheery notes to your pics. Re - taking pics in museums etc, Normanby Hall in Lincolnshire, one of the few stately homes that allow it, very helpful staff if you're up that way.

Guest		16-Mar-2007 09:39
Hi John, I have really enjoyed your galleries old and new, great street pics and a good record of life in London. I have saved you in favourites so I will come back to look again, keep it up, Ian

Hi John. Thanks for stopping by. I can understand why your eyes might be tired. The gallery you left the comment in may have that kind of effect on people. :)

David Gough		17-Nov-2006 21:48
I enjoyed your beautiful pictures, I found the site while looking up Putney Vale cemetery. I have a distant relative buried there in 1926. It would be marvellous if you could find the grave! He was Joseph Wilson of Cumberland House, 83 West Hill, Putney. He was the older brother of Sir Isaac Wilson who built/endowed the Wilson Cottage hospital at Mitcham. He was quite wealthy, I imagine there would be a substantial memorial. Sir Isaac and his wife Sarah, and 2 children are buried in the graveyard of the Mitcham Parish Church. I am descended on my Mother's side from another brother of the above. I am trying to piece together tthe Wilson ancestry. Not easy from Australia!

Ian Dalgliesh		27-Oct-2006 05:29
Thanks for your comment on my pic of a male surfer.Despite appearances,it was a young man.For the technically minded,he assured me his surfboard was a short longboard;sounds like a contradiction to me.I felt really sorry for them,as the surf was no more than 2/3 feet.

Hi John,I've only been getting up early to observe sun rises since a rather awful holiday in the I.O.W.,2/3 years ago.I like to go rambling.My wife doesn't.Ne'er the twain shall meet.She kicked up such a fuss over my walks,leaving her alone,that I chose to resolve the matter by having my walks and indulging my photography hobby at one and the same time.It transpires its the best time of day anyway.

Ian Dalgliesh		23-Sep-2006 07:12
Again,I've enjoyed your galleries.I'm off to drive a bus now,not a Number 22,I might add.

Hello John, Thank you for the nice comments. Your galleries are very interesting. I really enjoyed reading your description for the photos. You made comments on "Bentley" - you may like cars, I think. Here is a new picture I took today. You may interesting in this car:http://www.pbase.com/tianphoto/image/61450551 Tian

Craig Gillette		22-May-2006 04:46
Ah, I see you've found some of the "fun" comments. I took a quick look around your galleries and will have to come back and look some more! I've always been a bit of a history buff and did some competitive shooting - but not too seriously.

Guest		13-Apr-2006 17:04
Hi John, I am 50, love marc bolan very very much, never sow pictures from the place of tzrgedy, and I find your work and gallery as a very special place. All the best to you, nenad, Croatia

Grateful Genealogist		05-Apr-2006 20:41
I was looking for Mascotte Road, Putney in 1890. It's so small it's not named in Philip's Handy Volume Atlas of London in 1920, but you have a picture of the very house I am looking for! Everyone should be ordered by Tony Blair to have a site like this and post photographs of every street within a set radius of their house, if they don't they should have their identity card confiscated. Thank you.

1moremile		30-Mar-2006 00:12
Enjoyed your galleries and photos and your ongoing commentaries with Dave. Very entertaining. I work with two u.f.o. nuts. They are extrememly serious guys. Your prayers would be appreciated as I can't get them to stop talking about the mother ship. Larry.....

Dave Beedon		04-Feb-2006 02:35
John, I continue to be amazed by your devotion to fighting The Battle ("UFO'S Over My House," etc.). Our people are proud to be associated to a man who cleverly documents street scenes in the London area for the purpose of tracking certain beings that live among us with the thought of taking over the world. Stay vigilant (I know you will). Give my regards to Tara (not Broadway), who shows great promise in the documentation sciences. ---Dave

Vincent Belford		24-Jan-2006 15:21

In the years 1983-1984 I spent a lot of time in Richmond/surrey (had a girlfriend in Richmond College) so It was amazing for me to see your galleries with these many and excellent pictures of lovely Richmond (for a while...). Thank you very much for sharing John. Guenter

Trevor Edwards		20-May-2005 05:18
Good start John. I'll email you later with some tips when I can stay awake long enough. Just got in from work (6.20am). I wanted to send this so I could be first in your guest book. Happy PBasing! (is that a word?) Trev
