Four ladies

Hibiscus

Econoline Pickup

Pretty nice example of a '60's vehicle that still looks good, although it appears it has been partially restored and painted. But for being 60 years old it does not look bad.

Appeal

A little play on words... just a tangerine peel. 

Theater lighting

Both decorative and theatrical lighting at the Florida Theater in downtown Jacksonville Florida. The historic 1927 theater was recently restored and updated. Stage lighting is now all LED providing more efficiency and flexibility. There was also plaster repairs and a complete repainting as well as new seating. Turns out modern theater goers need wider seats than was provided a hundred years ago.

Color

Well, to break my run of black & white I had to really blast some color. Somehow this unusual shot appeals to me not so much as a photo but as design. I am sure most people would not purposely shoot this framing but the intense color and contrast appeals to me... so that is the story I am sticking with. 

STOP

There are three stop signs in this photo... can you spot them all? (Click image to enlarge)

Really what this is saying is "stop with the black & white". Maybe I got a little carried away with all the monochrome photos but I do have a renewed interest in that look. So stay tuned for a return to color, at least some of the time.

Frame shadow

I sometimes wonder if the artwork frame should get a mention in the museum title card. The intricate detail and amazing piecing and mitering is really quite extraordinary, yet it is only there to support the painting. Who makes these frames?
