i love chess. i think it is the pinnacle of all board games; the strategy, math, patience - nothing can really compare. when i'm not working i enjoying playing. i'm not the best ever (by any means) and have an ELO score of about 1172. i wish more of my friends would play. i don't know many young people who appreciate this game as much as i do (except for my brother in law, who is 10 years younger than me [he is 21]).

So it looks like a move may be in my near future and my beloved condo may be going on the market soon. This is the first place I've owned and I absolutely love it, but sometimes you have to move onwards and upwards. This is also why I haven't been able to post many photos lately, haven't been able to get out and take many because of being just too busy.
So I figured I might as well take my own interior photos for the listing and hone my interior design shots. Who knows, this could be a good career direction for me at some point.. lol.
I've started in the kitchen. The sigma does a really good job at making the room look much bigger then it really is.. but it helps get all the details of the room in as well.
more to come probably as I clean and stage the rest of the condo.
a modest, empty chapel at an abandoned jail offers prisoners a last chance at redemption. it's still in surprisingly good shape.

Optical Art

Optical Art ist eine Stilrichtung der Malerei, die um 1960 aufkam. Mit Hilfe von geometrisch abstrakten Formmustern und Farbfiguren sollen im Auge des Betrachters Bewegungs- und Flimmereffekte hervorgerufen werden, die zu optischen Täuschungen führen können.
Wichtigste Vertreter der Op-Art waren Victor Vasarely, Bridget Riley, Jesús-Rafael Soto, Richard Anuszkiewicz, Julian Stanczak, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Julio Le Parc, Youri Messen-Jaschin, Agam und sind, in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, Volker Bussmann, Wolfgang Ludwig, Almir Mavignier.

Op art, also known as optical art, is used to describe some paintings and other works of art which use optical illusions. Op art is also referred to as geometric abstraction and hard-edge abstraction, although the preferred term for it is perceptual abstraction. The term "Op" bears resemblance to the other popular movement of the 1960s, Pop Art though one can be certain such monikers were invoked for their catchiness and not for any stylistic similarities.
"Optical Art is a method of painting concerning the interaction between illusion and picture plane, between understanding and seeing."[1] Op art works are abstract, with many of the better known pieces made in only black and white. When the viewer looks at them, the impression is given of movement, hidden images, flashing and vibration, patterns, or alternatively, of swelling or warping.

May 12, 2019 - Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio located at 951 Chicago Ave., Oak Park, IL.
"In 1889 Wright completed the construction of a small two-story residence in Oak Park on the Western edges of Chicago. The building was the first over which Wright exerted complete artistic control. Designed as a home for his family, the Oak Park residence was a site of experimentation for the young architect during the twenty-year period he lived there. Wright revised the design of the building multiple times, continually refining ideas that would shape his work for decades to come.
The semi-rural village of Oak Park, where Wright built his home, offered a retreat from the hurried pace of city life. Named “Saint’s Rest” for its abundance of churches, Oak Park was originally settled in the 1830s by pioneering East Coast families. In its early years farming was the principal business of the village, however its proximity to Chicago soon attracted professional men and their families. Along its unpaved dirt streets sheltered by mature oaks and elms, prosperous families erected elaborate homes. Beyond the borders of the village farmland and open prairie stretched as far as the eye could see.
The Oak Park Home was the product of the nineteenth century culture from which Wright emerged. For its design, Wright drew upon many inspirational sources prevalent in the waning years of the nineteenth century. From his family background in Unitarianism Wright absorbed the ideas of the Transcendentalists, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau, who encouraged an honest life inspired by nature. The English Arts and Crafts movement, which promoted craftsmanship, simplicity and integrity in art, architecture and design, provided a powerful impetus to Wright’s principles. The household art movement, a distinct movement in middle-class home decoration, informed Wright’s earliest interiors. It aimed, as the name implies, to bring art into the home, and was primarily disseminated through books and articles written by tastemakers who believed that the home interior could exert moral influences upon its inhabitants. These various sources were tempered by the lessons and practices Wright learned under his mentors, Joseph Lyman Silsbee and Louis Sullivan.
For the exterior of his home, Wright adapted the picturesque Shingle style, fashionable for the vacation homes of wealthy East Coast families and favored by his previous employer, Silsbee. The stamp of Sullivan’s influence is apparent in the simplification and abstraction of the building and its plan. In contrast to what Wright described as “candle-snuffer roofs, turnip domes [and] corkscrew spires” of the surrounding houses, his home’s façade is defined by bold geometric shapes—a substantial triangular gable set upon a rectangular base, polygonal window bays, and the circular wall of the wide veranda.
Despite its modest scale, the interior of the home is an early indication of Wright’s desire to liberate space. On the ground floor Wright created a suite of rooms arranged around a central hearth and inglenook, a common feature of the Shingle style. The rooms flow together, connected by wide, open doorways hung with portieres that can be drawn for privacy. To compensate for the modest scale of the house, and to create an inspiring environment for his family, Wright incorporated artwork and objects that brought warmth and richness to the interiors. Unique furniture, Oriental rugs, potted palms, statues, paintings and Japanese prints filled the rooms, infusing them with a sense of the foreign, the exotic and the antique.
In 1895, to accommodate his growing family, Wright undertook his first major renovation of the Home. A new dining room and children’s playroom doubled the floor space. The design innovations pioneered by Wright at this time marked a significant development in the evolution of his style, bringing him closer to his ideal for the new American home.
The original dining room was converted into a study, and a new dining room replaced the former kitchen. The dining room is unified around a central oak table lit through a decorative panel above and with an alcove of leaded glass windows in patterns of conventionalized lotus flowers. The walls and ceiling are covered with honey-toned burlap; the floor and fireplace are lined with red terracotta tile.
The new dining room is a warm and intimate space to gather with family and friends. The Wrights entertained frequently, and were joined at their table by clients, artists, authors and international visitors. Such festive occasions, according to Wright’s son, John, gave the house the air of a “jolly carnival.”
The 1895 playroom on the second floor of the Home is one of the great spaces of Wright’s early career. Designed to inspire and nurture his six children, the room is a physical expression of Wright’s belief that, “For the same reason that we teach our children to speak the truth, or better still live the truth, their environment ought to be as truly beautiful as we are capable of making it.” Architectural details pioneered by Wright in this room would be developed and enhanced in numerous commissions throughout his career.
The high, barrel-vaulted ceiling rests on walls of Roman brick. At the center of the vault’s arc a skylight, shielded by wood grilles displaying stylized blossoms and seedpods, provides illumination. Striking cantilevered light fixtures of oak and glass, added after Wright’s 1905 trip to Japan, bathe the room in a warm ambient glow. On either side of the room, window bays of leaded glass with built-in window seats are at the height of the mature trees that surround the lot, placing Wright’s children in the leafy canopy of the trees outside.
Above the fireplace of Roman brick, a mural depicting the story of the Fisherman and the Genie from The Arabian Nights is painted on the plastered wall. An integral architectural feature within the room, the mural was designed by Wright and executed by his colleague, the artist Charles Corwin. It is a fascinating blend of decorative motifs; forms from exotic cultures—such as Egyptian winged scarabs—are combined with flat, geometric designs that echo the work of Wright’s international contemporaries, Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Vienna Secessionists.
In 1898 Wright built a new Studio wing with funds secured through a commission with the Luxfer Prism Company. The Studio faced Chicago Avenue and was connected to his residence by a corridor. Clad in wood shingles and brick, the Studio exterior is consistent with the earlier home. However, the long, horizontal profile, a key feature of Wright’s mature Prairie buildings, sets it apart. Adjacent to the entrance, a stone plaque announces to the world, “Frank Lloyd Wright, Architect.” Decorative embellishments and figural sculptures set off the building’s artistic character and impressed arriving clients.
The reception hall serves as the entrance to the Studio. A waiting room for clients and a place for Wright to review architectural plans with contractors, this low-ceilinged space connects the main areas of the Studio—a library, a small office, and the dramatic two-story drafting room, the creative heart of the building.
The studio staff worked on drafting tables and stools designed by Wright in rooms decorated with eclectic displays of artwork and objects. Japanese prints, casts of classical sculptures, as well as models and drawings executed in the drafting room, filled the interiors of the Studio. In Wright’s home the integration of art and architecture served to nurture and intellectually sustain his family. In the Studio, these same elements served a further purpose, the marketing of Wright’s artistic identity to his clients and the public at large.
In September of 1909, Wright left America for Europe to work on the publication of a substantial monograph of his buildings and projects, the majority of which had been designed in his Oak Park Studio. The result was the Wasmuth Portfolio (Berlin, 1910), which introduced Wright's work to Europe and influenced a generation of international architects. Wright remained abroad for a year, returning to Oak Park in the fall of 1910. He immediately began plans for a new home and studio, Taliesin, which he would build in the verdant hills of Spring Green, Wisconsin. Wright’s Oak Park Studio closed in 1910, though Wright himself returned occasionally to meet with his wife Catherine who remained with the couple's youngest children at the Oak Park Home and Studio until 1918. The Home and Studio was the birthplace of Wright's vision for a new American architecture. Wright designed over 150 projects in his Oak Park Studio, establishing his legacy as a great and visionary architect.

This Photograph shows one of the passenger cars of the Brightline Train at the Maintenance and Running Repair Facility in West Palm Beach, Florida. One of the Brightline Employees is describing the features of the Passenger Cars and answering the FECRS Members' Questions. Notice the Identification Badge Hanging from his Neck.
These photographs show the new Siemens SC-44 Charger Locomotives for the Future High Speed Brightline Rail Service between Downtown Miami and Cocoa Beach, Florida with later expansion to Orlando. Service is expected to begin between West Palm Beach and Cocoa Beach in early 2018. Service between Downtown Miami and West Palm Beach will be be delayed at least a year because construction of the Multimodal Miami Station is way behind schedule because it involves multiple levels to accommodate Brightline, Miami Metrorail, Downtown Metromover and possibly Tri-Rail and AMTRAK. The extension to Orlando International Airport is still in the planning stage.
Brightline has purchased ten of the Siemens Charger Locomotives (with Options for eleven more) and they are currently undergoing testing at the West Palm Beach Maintenance Facility. The Palm Beach Station is just about ready for Passengers as soon as minor track alignment is finished.
My Photographs of the FECRS Tour of the West Palm Beach Station will follow this series of photos.

Vintage and Antique lights will give your room warmth and charm. Antique lighting is a great way of making rooms look that little bit more special; Unique personality that today's mass produced cannot match. Personalized style is a popular theme for home decor.
This chandelier light would fit well into Bohemian decor or Eclectic Flea Market Style.
Boho Modern is: Mixing old with new. Boho Chic already describes a style of fashion (think Anthropologie, Noa Noa, " Odd Molly " and some stylists call it Modern Boho as well - [referred to as Flea Market Style, Global Decor, Shabby, and Ethnic Chic, Midwest Modern, Modern Euro Country, also]. *See FYI about "Odd Molly" at end of this writing - page down*.
Bohemian can describe any person who lives an unconventional artistic life, where self-expression is their highest value; art (acting, poetry, writing, singing, dancing, painting, etc.) is a serious, if not central, part of their life.
DALE CHIHULY DESIGNED THIS BEAUTIFUL ART GLASS DISPLAY CALLED "FIORI DI COMO" WHICH IS THE CEILING IN THE BELLAGIO HOTEL. FABULOUS WHEN THE SUNLIGHT BEHIND IT COMES THROUGH TO LIGHT UP THE ROOM WITH VARIOUS COLORS OF THE RAINBOW.
