Dale Chihuly
(born September 20, 1941) is an American glass sculptor and entrepreneur. His works are considered to possess outstanding artistic merit in the field of blown glass, "moving it into the realm of large-scale sculpture." The technical difficulties of working with glass forms are considerable, yet Chihuly uses it as the primary medium for installations and environmental artwork.

Recent photos I took show the peace and solitude of Glendalough and the monastic site founded by St. Kevin in the 6th century. However this shot shows what greets you near the entrance!
I was the only customer so a better marketing strategy has to be found. I bought 2 items and got a free apple cider.

The Sutro Baths of San Francisco are the eerie remains of what used to be the world’s largest indoor swimming pool establishment. Adolph Sutro, an eccentric, wealthy entrepreneur and one-time mayor of San Francisco, built this impressive public facility in the 1800s. It was made of mostly glass, iron, and reinforced concrete and featured 7 different kinds of pools – 1 freshwater, and 6 saltwater pools with different temperatures. During high tide, water from the ocean would flow into the pools and recycle 2 million gallons of water. There was also a concert hall with seating for 8000 people and an ice skating rink.
Unfortunately, the maintenance costs were too high and the Sutro Baths were eventually deserted. The building that housed the pools burned down in a fire in 1966, and the site has been in ruins ever since. The Golden Gate National Recreation area purchased the land and preserved it as one of San Francisco’s most picturesque landmarks.

We visited Cleveland's West Side Market yesterday morning for some shopping. Of course, I had my camera with me. This is a photo of a young girl who was busily making small woven baskets for sale. By far, she was the busiest and most aspiring entrepreneur at the market.
For me, the best part of this photograph is the sunlight on the girl's hair. I also liked the intense look on her face as she worked so hard.
Frazier is my oldest nephew. He has just started his own company, Signature Clothing. His line consists of all sorts of apparel, and is pretty cool looking, so this pic was something I wanted to be a little different, cool and innovative, just like Frazier!
After Thanksgiving dinner, I did a couple of quick grab shots at the table of Frazier and his brother, Drake. Though this one wasn't bad as far as detail went, it was busy and needed some enhancement. As I looked at the image, I realized that some of the things that were popping up in the background actually played into who Frazier is. "Brawny" and "Hefty" describe his strength. He had gone through Police Academy, and trained hard, deciding afterwards that he wanted to go a different route, which may include being an Army Ranger. Frazier is a tough guy with a heart. He loves animals, and they love him, so the kitties that pop up bring that in. There are magnets on the fridge referencing faith and humor, both also are a big part of who Frazier is. So, I left the background, busy as it was, but decided to make him pop by doing a sketch effect on only him. I actually really liked it after I got done. It kind of highlights the drive my nephew has, and a good natured intensity and determination that he personifies.

It seems the 5 Tuckers found in the warehouse is only part of an ongoing intrigue. Along with a number of other photos and documents found on the premises, these two transparencies came to light and caused a sensation in Elgin Park.
The entrepreneur, who back in 1950 clearly invested time, money and creative talent trying to produce a Tucker related vehicle, still remains unknown.
Aside from the What, Where, How and Why of it all is the burning question:
Do these two prototypes still exist?
Oh, the possibilities!
On a different note, the creation of these two front end designs were achieved by digging through my parts box plus a little bit of modeling.
The "prow front" was cobbled together by forming an arch out of thin styrene, fitted with a rounded vertical strip of plastic in the front, then placed over the center headlight.
The "bullet nose" style was created with a brass grommet and a hemisphere of styrene.
As for the egg crate grille, it was taken from a broken Cadillac diecast and trimmed to the appropriate shape.
The fender skirt is a piece of styrene fitted into the wheel opening and painted the body color.
A few other changes include;
- Removing the rectangular turn signals and substituting round, milk glass fixtures close to the headlights.
-Adding a short chrome bumper-ette above the grille on the Prow Nose prototype
and a long chrome bumper-ette that connects the two round turn signals on the Bullet Nose prototype.
-On both of the models, half bumpers were installed onto the main bumper unit for a more massive look.
-A chrome trim spear along the front fender and a chrome trim piece below the doors to create a longer, lower appearance.
-The air intake vent, on the rear fender of the bullet nose, was painted the body color to create a smoother appearance.
It was a very interesting project for me because the Tucker is such an iconic vehicle.
I wanted the alterations to be sensitive to the original Tucker/ Tremulis design, yet address the changing style that was starting to emerge in the industry at the time.
