The Apple Carnegie Library was formerly the Washington DC Central Public Library which was donated to the citizens of Washington DC by Steel Magnate and entrepreneur Scottish American Andrew Carnegie which was dedicated in 1903. A beautiful Beaux-Arts building designed by New York firm of Ackerman and Ross, it served as a library for almost 70, was the first desegrated public building in DC, served the University of the District of Columbia, the Historical Society of Washington DC and finally in 2016, Apple made agreement and converted the first floor to an Apple Flagship Store. The basement serves as the Carnegie Gallery with historic photographs and the second floor houses the DC History Center. - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot @visitwashingtondc @apple #applecarnegielibrary #microfourthirds #omd #m43photography
Dutch entrepreneur Frans van Haren has a classic car collection that has won prizes at prestigious national and international competitions. Since 2017, he has been presenting his impressive car collection to a wider audience in the futuristic-looking, former furniture showroom 'Metropole' in Druten, the Netherlands.
The collection includes some four hundred cars, trucks and motorcycles, making it almost the largest car museum in the Netherlands.

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!
by Albert Bierstadt
Bierstadt's beautifully crafted paintings played to a market eager, in the 1860s for spectacular views of the nation's frontiers. Bierstadt was an immigrant and a hardworking entrepreneur who had grown rich pairing his artistic skill with a talent for self-promotion. The unveiling of one of his canvases was a theatrical event. He sold tickets and planted news stories, strategies that one critic described as the "vast machinery of advertisement and puffery." A "great picture" was elaborately framed and installed in a room with carefully controlled lighting. At the appointed time, the work was revealed to thunderous applause.
Bierstadt painted "Among the Sierra Nevada, California" in his Rome studio, then showed the canvas in Berlin and London before shipping it to the United States. Works such as this fueled the image of America as a promised land just when Europeans were immigrating to this country in great numbers. When the painting was shown in Boston, one critic recognized that the landscape was a fiction invented from Bierstadt's sketches of the West. Nevertheless the writer felt that it represented "what our scenery ought to be, if it is not so in reality."
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 corner lemonade stand had just run out of lemonade and until more arrived, out came the hard sell for watermelon and especially gum.
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.
See Frazier's first edition clothing line up! www.facebook.com/Signature-Clothing-2311939512167671/?__t...

Entrepreneurs John and Peggy Dunn are not afraid of the current economic slump. While many people tightened their belts and waited during the past several years, John saw opportunity and pursued his dream. John is a plumber. He has been running his own plumbing business for twenty-three years. Peggy is a singer, a published writer, and John's wife/sidekick. While John has a love for historical arms, Peggy loves meeting people and making new friends.
In 2010 they decided to take the plunge and open up a unique enterprise. Most gun stores are bastions of masculinity and are rather intimidating to women. With John and Peggy's combined efforts Old Town Guns and Gifts was born. In this unique shop one can find anything from 1894 Winchester rifles to crystal stemware. The coffee is always strong and hot, and the conversation is lively.
One of the recent additions in John's gun rack is a custom 1894 Winchester rifle. It sports curious factory customization to make it lighter in weight and as a result has a decreased magazine capacity. On the firearm's stock is nailed a mysterious plaque on which is engraved "Buffalo Bills Wild West."
The rifle was featured and appraised by Bonhams & Butterfields on the Antiques Roadshow in July 2011. John is currently researching the rifle to determine if it is indeed a firearm that might have been handled and shot by William Cody or Annie Oakley. If so, the value would escalate enormously.
John still works four days a week as a master plumber, but on Friday and Saturday, he and Peggy open the doors to the American dream with their own business. Thank you for the coffee and conversation John, there will be more photos coming this evening on my zenfolio site.
