For 30 years the Holiday Barbie doll has created a long-lasting legacy of imagination and celebration. On her 30th anniversary, she wears a beautiful red gown reminiscent of the dress worn by the first Holiday Barbie. It has off the shoulder cap sleeves, multi-tiered layers throughout the bodice and gown, accented with a delicate bow at the waist. Styled with a chic center part, her blonde curls are the perfect complement for her blue eyes. Sophisticated accessories – a headband, necklace and bracelet – feature 30 "pearls" to celebrate the occasion and add the finishing touches. May this 2018 Holiday Barbie doll inspire you to live joyfully, celebrate special moments and create memories you'll treasure for a lifetime.
Inspired by all those days spent as a kid staring into the clouds playing the game to see what you can see in the clouds. Blogged here: blockpartypress.blogspot.com/2008/09/you-were-inspired-by...
Camera Club exercise to use imagination. Who would have thought there was so much engineering inside.

Imagine That! Labelscar from IMAGINATION, once a local Spencer's gifts/Hot Topic style gift and novelty store it since has closed and it's space as far as I can find out was merged with fye's space.
Note: Does anyone remember seeing an Imagination store in North County Fair by JCPenney, next to the old Wherehouse Music (now a days Gap), I remember seeing it a couple times back in 2001 until I moved to Riverside County in 2003 but I can't be sure, does anyone remember? I remember it was Red Robin, Wherehouse Music, Imagination, Hickory Farms, some place that sold frames and posters, some stores and Penneys, anyone remembers?
While the pavilion itself has technically existed since 1982, it has so far gone through three significant phases. The original started out as an area in which the 3-D film Magic Journeys was played with a song by the same name by the Sherman Brothers. The Makin' Memories slide presentation, a history of photography was the pre-show presentation. When Journey Into Imagination opened a year later, the area was dubbed The Journey Into Imagination Pavilion. From 1983 to 1986 it held Journey Into Imagination, the (upstairs) ImageWorks, and Magic Journeys. In 1986, however, Magic Journeys was replaced by Captain EO, a more advanced 3-D film created by George Lucas and starring Michael Jackson as the title character. In 1994, Captain EO was replaced by Honey, I Shrunk the Audience, starring Rick Moranis as Professor Wayne Szalinski and Eric Idle as the Imagination Institute chairman, Dr. Nigel Channing. The pavilion was renamed Imagination! in 1999, (when the new ride opened) after the alternative title of the Dreamfinder's song. The actual name of the song however, is "One Little Spark" (which was also a Sherman Brothers creation) and is the Imagineers unofficial theme song, although some believe the title to be the former.
In 1997, Fujifilm, (Kodak's biggest rival at the time) came to Disney with an offer: make Journey into Imagination into a thrill ride that had nothing to do with imagination. Kodak's sponsorship contract was almost up, and Fujifilm knew that when the contract ran out, Disney would need someone to sponsor the building. Kodak, however, wished to stay with Disney and continue the contract. Kodak realized that in order to compete with Fujifilm, they too must come up with a new attraction to go into the building. Their proposal was to make Journey Into Imagination, already an E-Ticket attraction, into something more scientific. The ride would also be shorter and have cheaper special effects. At the time, Journey Into Imagination was the most expensive ride in Epcot to keep running, despite the fact that it got more visitors in a day than Epcot's flagship ride Spaceship Earth. The guests made it all worthwhile for Disney to keep it running, but Disney still wasn't satisfied with it. It was the most technologically advanced dark ride in history. A roller coaster would mean much more money to build and keep running, and they feared it wouldn't be nearly as popular as Journey Into Imagination. Therefore, by the end of 1997, Disney accepted Kodak's idea.
In 1998, the original Journey Into Imagination went down for a rehab. During this rehab, the upstairs ImageWorks was closed and the building's white and blue painting exterior was replaced with different colors, navy blue being primary. The original glass sign was replaced by one made of wood and metal. The leap frog fountains were reduced in size to accommodate the new gift shop at the exit of the new Journey Into Imagination. Despite the fact that the pavilion already had a gift shop right next to the 3-D film playing at the time, Disney felt that this one would be more successful. The glass pyramids remained intact, although the upstairs ImageWorks was closed, to be replaced by the downstairs ImageWorks.
The attraction opened in 1999, in time for the Millennium Celebration. Fans were upset that Dreamfinder, a popular character from the previous ride, was gone. Furthermore, Figment, another popular character, only made cameo appearances until his short dialogue at the end of the ride. They felt that Disney tried too hard to theme the attraction as The Imagination Institute and the ride was designed to be a poor tie-in with Honey, I Shrunk The Audience. In addition, for some fans, the downstairs Imageworks appeared to be little more than an advertisement for Kodak.
Fans of the original attraction took action and boycotted the new ride and Kodak products. This campaign proved to be successful, especially with additional pressure from Kodak. By the end of 2001, Disney closed the ride and modified the attraction, bringing Figment back into a more prominent role, although the Dreamfinder remained absent.
In the summer of 2006, the finale of a Kim Possible interactive activity was set up temporarily in the upstairs ImageWorks as a test, themed as Dr. Drakken's base, with a station in World Showcase loaning out "Kimunicators" for interactive activities

Towards the end of January, I became extremely busy with the JKPP meet up and exhibit, and no longer had time to post. But I did keep drawing every day, even if a lot of it was quick scrawls like these.
So now I'm finally catching my breath and trying to catch up on uploading - before the next project takes over my life!
"Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning." Gloria Steinem
the next few uploads will be a fairly obvious deviation from my normal style into the land of textures. I'm not sure why, but that seemed to be what the photos needed.
oh, and. 8000+ views. wheeee.
Last year, I started Christmas gifts for some friends, and then, with the birth of my first grandson, I didn't have time to finish them. I am happy to say, that only one year late (lol), I have finished Kathy's gift.
Kathy had a Marx Imagination Dollhouse when she was little, so I decided that her Kathy doll needed one, too. I thought it would be fun to reveal the gift here before sending it to her. Now it's onward to finish more gifts! :)

"Graffiti"
Detail of a urban graffiti mural in the Parramore neighborhood of Orlando. I do not know the actual name of this mural. Wider shot will be included in the comments. Artist info: @lemusart
I decided to make a special trip to Orlando for this week's theme, since there isn't much in the way of any graffiti or urban style art in my town. Saw some amazing work in the short time I had to shoot in the area.
As mentioned above, this was in the Parramore neighborhood of Orlando, just west of the downtown area. It's a lower income area, and a bit more run down than other areas. This appears to be a former auto body repair shop or tow yard that has been converted to something called WestArt District.
Due to very inclement weather, I was not able to explore the inner areas with more artwork during their normal "open" hours. However, this was on the street and available to be photographed regardless. By this time, the severe storms had already moved through the area. But I would definitely be interested in checking it out again when weather is better.
Creativity and imagination shall be the stability of thy times.

Clouds are really pretty motives...
Actually I wanted to take some clouds to use them in different projects and composings...
But I decided to create another picture to get the weather in... and show how artful and inspireable these could be.
Clouds normally are not my best friends, because they block the sun and show the bad influence we have on nature. But after get influenced by the virus "photography", I really get into them and this won't be my last cloudy situation I will take with my picture machine..

This is a red/cyan anaglyph image of a Mandelbrot set fratal called "elephant pie." You will need red/cyan 3D glasses to view this image.
With a little imagination, the shapes around the outside of the circle look like elephants, facing to the right with their trunks in the air.
This image was generated with FractalWorks, a free high performance fractal renderer for Macintosh computers. If you have a recent copy of FractalWorks you can copy the link below and select "New Fractal from URL" in the FractalWorks menu to recreate the image on your computer.

If you don't have anaglyph glasses, you can look at this non stereo version of the image:

The dollhouse with some of my own furniture. I mostly used Lundby, but there is also some Petite Princess and a Brio chair. I've read online that some people think this house is a bit cold and hard to furnish, but I love it! I only wish I had more furniture to play around with in it.
