Actress Betty Davis in a studio portrait. She was with Warner Brother's at this time, this photo was taken in 1934. One of my favorite years for most things of fashion and design. This dress, cut on a bias, with apposing angled cut panels giving this a most Art Deco look, accented with a gem broach with layered tie ends for that touch of drama and grace.
Love the forward "peekaboo" soft hat, a popular style from '33-'35.
86-y-o Katrina Davis in her new red hat on her way home from an Art Guild meeting wanted me to get this shot for her. She rides with me once a month to our meetings in Terre Haute, Indiana; the rest of the time she normally walks to wherever she needs to go or rides the bus.
Hovering above the incoming tide at Davis Bay. Fast-moving clouds and a high wind made this tricky to shoot — if you look close you will see too many parallax errors — but it gives a good impression of Davis Bay.

Davis is our patriarchal cat. He is 15 years old but still alive and kicking!
Davis è il patriarca felino della nostra famiglia. Ha ormai 15 anni, ma è ancora attivo come un gatto!
Davis Bay is a small community located just south of Sechelt on BC’s Sunshine Coast. Its most notable feature is the long pebbled beach with a paved walking path lined with viewing benches and a pier jutting out from the shoreline. Often the pier is occupied by fishermen. At low tide sand bars and tidal pools appear. On a clear day Vancouver Island can be seen across the Georgia Strait.
Sechelt (ch’atlich) is located on the traditional territory of the shíshálh (Sechelt) Nation. It’s the name of a people, a community, a peninsula, and an inlet.
Surrounded by coastline and forests, Sechelt serves as a fantastic adventure hub for people of every level of ambition and ability. There is also a bustling arts scene full of many skilled artisans, performers, and other creatives.

American film star Bette Davis (1908-1989) was one of the greatest actors in world cinema history. She dared to play unsympathetic, sardonic characters and was reputed for her performances in a range of film genres, from contemporary crime melodramas to historical and period films and occasional comedies. Her greatest successes were her roles in romantic dramas.
After appearing in Broadway plays, Davis moved to Hollywood in 1930. Her early films for Universal were unsuccessful or she only had a small role, such as in James Whale's Waterloo Bridge (1931). Davis was preparing to return to New York when actor George Arliss chose Davis for the female lead in the Warner Brothers picture The Man Who Played God (John G. Adolfi, 1932), which would be her 'break' in Hollywood. Warner Bros. signed her a five-year contract. The role of the vicious and slatternly Mildred Rogers inOf Human Bondage (John Cromwell, 1934) earned Davis her first major critical acclaim. She established her career with several other critically acclaimed performances. For her role as a troubled actress in Dangerous (Alfred E. Green, 1935), she won her first Oscar. In 1937, she attempted to free herself from her contract and although she lost a well-publicized legal case, it marked the beginning of the most successful period of her career. In Marked Woman (Lloyd Bacon, 1937), she played a prostitute in a contemporary gangster drama inspired by the case of Lucky Luciano. For her role she was awarded the Volpi Cup at the 1937 Venice Film Festival. Her next picture was Jezebel (William Wyler, 1938), and during production Davis entered a relationship with director William Wyler. The film was a success, and Davis' performance as a spoiled Southern belle earned her a second Academy Award. Dark Victory (Edmund Goulding, 1939) became one of the highest grossing films of the year, and the role of Judith Traherne brought her an Academy Award nomination. The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (Michael Curtiz, 1939) with Errol Flynn, was her first colour film. To play the elderly Elizabeth I of England, Davis shaved her hairline and eyebrows. Davis was now Warner Bros.' most profitable star, and she was given the most important of their female leading roles. Her image was considered with care; she was often filmed in close-ups that emphasized her distinctive eyes.
Until the late 1940s, Bette Davis was one of American cinema's most celebrated leading ladies, known for her forceful and intense style. Davis gained a reputation as a perfectionist who could be highly combative, and confrontations with studio executives, film directors and co-stars were often reported. After The Letter (William Wyler, 1940), William Wyler directed Davis for the third time in Lillian Hellman's The Little Foxes (1941), but they clashed over the character of Regina Giddens. Taking a role originally played on stage by Tallulah Bankhead, Davis felt Bankhead's original interpretation was appropriate and followed Hellman's intent, but Wyler wanted her to soften the character. Davis refused to compromise. Her forthright manner, clipped vocal style and ubiquitous cigarette contributed to a public persona which has often been imitated and satirized. In 1941, she became the first female president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and a year later, she was the co-founder of the Hollywood Canteen. Her best films include the women's picture Now Voyager (Irving Rapper, 1942) and Watch on the Rhine (Herman Shumlin, 1943). In 1947, at the age of 39, Davis gave birth to a daughter, Barbara Davis Sherry (known as B.D.) At the end of the 1940s, her box office appeal had noticeably dropped and she was labelled 'Box Office Poison'. Then producer Darryl F. Zanuck offered her the role of the aging theatrical actress Margo Channing in All About Eve (Joseph L. Mankiewicz, 1950). During production, she had a romantic relationship with her leading man, Gary Merrill, which led to marriage. Her career went through several of such periods of eclipse, and she admitted that her success had often been at the expense of her personal relationships. Married four times, she was once widowed and thrice divorced, and raised her children as a single parent. Later successes include the Grand Guignol horror film What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (Robert Aldrich, 1962) with Joan Crawford, and the follow-up Hush… Hush, Sweet Charlotte (Robert Aldrich, 1964) with Olivia de Havilland. Her final years were marred by a long period of ill health, but she continued acting until shortly before her death from breast cancer, with more than 100 films, television and theatre roles to her credit. She was the first person to accrue 10 Academy Award nominations for acting, and in 1977, she was the first woman to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute. One of her last films was Lindsay Anderson's film The Whales of August (1987), in which she played the blind sister of Lillian Gish.

As seen from Community Park.
It looks like it's trying to rain, but not quite reaching the ground.
Some slight tweaks were made to reflect what I saw.

YoloBus and Sacramento RT make their usual appearance at G & 8th Streets. Both busses will not stay here long as they are nearly ready to be filled up and shipped out to Davis and other locations.

A friend of mine brought round his Canon gear and I loaded it with an out of date Kodacolor 200. These are taken with either the standard lens or a 135mm f3.5 Canon FD. The camera works fine although I found it odd to use shutter priority, I've used aperture priority cameras since the mid 1970's and always think in terms of aperture and DoF. The film was out of date so I've had to recover the colours and contrast a bit. These were taken around Chesterfield Market using the 50mm lens.

Davis LeDuke and Shaun White of Bad Things
Checking one more Davis pub off of my list, this is the Davis Beer Shoppe (which as you can tell is also a shop, with an amazing selection of beer). Late Sunday afternoon, couple of beers, bit of sketching. Went to see the movie "Planes" with my son shortly before.
