the most important part of this one is the IV. It stands for vision and how vision pumps liquid inspiration into my head - transforming everything i see everywhere around me, defining my imagination, and? since there are unlimited things to see in this life, hence, imagination is limitless :)
From time to time I feel as though I was born too late. A few years back I got into one those beer fueled discussions with a couple old buddies of mine. The topic turned to time travel which, given this was a group of guys talking, was likely built on a deep discussion about Looney Tunes and whether you were Bugs or Daffy guy. Any way, we all speculated about where and when you’d like to be dropped in a time travel machine. As I recall most of us seemed to pick a time and place that held great adventure or fulfilled some boyhood fantasy around being a pirate or a cowboy. I suspect I dreamed about riding the open range, working a cattle drive somewhere out west, but I also know I picked a familiar location, too. I would love to have been around Detroit in the first decade of the 20th century.
When I look around at the history of this place, even the relics being reclaimed by mother nature, I can't help but be taken by the scale of it all. I don’t mean just the physical scale, I mean the scale of ideas, the men who created this town thought big. John Gallagher in his excellent book, Reimaging Detroit, points out that a major contributor to the overwhelming emptiness in Detroit is tied to the massive size of the factories built here. When other towns on the east coast lost their mills and factories, being small in nature they left a tiny and manageable foot print as they closed and were knocked down. Most of the factories in other cities took up 1 or 2 acres of land. Many factories in Detroit have left vacant holes of 25, 50 or more than 100 acres to fill.
Detroit in 1908 must have been a site to see. Buildings going up daily, each designed to house thousands of workers furiously crafting the dreams of Billy Durant, Henry Ford and the Dodge Brothers. To be around that type of imagination must have been special, indeed. These days it is easy to look back and point out all of the wrong turns and big mistakes made by the Big 3. Much of the criticism is warranted, if benefiting from the genius of those old hindsight goggles we love to wear. While the failures are true and apparent, it is also true that this town, the hard work and bold imagination of its men and women, changed the world.
Guess who's back from vacation?!
I was in HongKong for about 3weeks visiting the family and also traveling to Shanghai and Macau within the trip. It was a blast for someone who hasn't visited for 4years.

Carnival Imagination was built in 1995, and carries 2,050 passengers. It was a giant cruise ship in its day. It has very few cabins with balconies, the hallmark of modern cruise ships now.
The ship is docked in the harbor of Nassau, Bahamas. Carnival cruise ships are registered in the Bahamas. Many of their cruises are three or four days from Fort Lauderdale to Nassau, perhaps with another port.
Shanghai. 1933 Slaugtherhouse. Amazing building with really unique architecture. Used to be for slaughtering cows.

Imagination is funny
It makes a cloudy day sunny
It makes a bee think of honey
Just as I think of you
Imagination is crazy
Your whole perspective gets hazy
It starts you asking a daisy what to do
What to do
Have you ever felt a gentle touch
And then a kiss, then and then
You find it's only your imagination again
Oh well
Imagination is silly
You go around willy-nilly
For example I go around wanting you
Yet I can't imagine that you want me too
(Chet Baker)
Four posters I created for the Oglebay Institute's 80th Anniversary Celebration called "Imagination Celebration". They wanted four posters that displayed their four main focuses: Music, Nature, Visual Art, and Performing arts. They wanted these posters, when combined, to form one large poster.

One of my indoor succulent plants, blooming like crazy! Can anyone identify this for me?
The colours are so vibrant, I love it, hope you all do too! (Best on black)
Back in December 2015, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines held a contest to ask Canadians what is their dream vacation and the winner would be awarded a KLM return ticket to the destination of their dream. I really liked the marketing campaign's imagery very much and grabbed the screenshots of the cities listed.
Now where would you like to go yourself?

Livraria Cultura turns 60 and is a reference in the Brazilian market
The company has three stores in São Paulo, one in Campinas, one in Porto Alegre, one in Brasília and one in Recife; in 2008, they will open one other store.
An entrepreneurship success story. This is how the trajectory of Livraria Cultura, that reached 60 years of activities in Brazil during 2007, can be defined. The company founded in 1947 by Eva Herz, is a reference in the domestic market.
Today, Cultura has seven units – three in São Paulo, one in Campinas, nearby São Paulo, one in Recife, another one in Porto Alegre and also one store in Brasília. In 2008, they will open one new store in São Paulo, at a new mall called Shopping Bourbon.
Livraria Cultura has over one thousand employees who are committed to offering the public a concept that goes beyond the mere book selling. “Each store is more than a bookstore, it''s an entertainment center where customers go not only to buy, but also to get updated and to debate ideas”, says Pedro Herz, who''s been running the company for 38 years. “Our employees are always ready to provide the customers advice while they''re buying, or help them finding the product they''re looking for. This has always been a feature in our business."
Another strong feature in Livraria Cultura is the diversity in its catalog, that includes over 2,5 million book titles, in addition of CDs and DVDs. Also, the stores are kept updated through the retailing of publications in several languages, such as Spanish, English, French and Italian, besides Portuguese, of course. Each store keeps an average collection of 150,000 titles.
The store at the building Conjunto Nacional, in São Paulo, located on one of the most important avenues in town, Paulista Avenue, that opened in May 2007, is the largest bookstore in the country. It''s an area of 46,280 square feet distributed among three floors. After being renovated in December 2007, Livraria Cultura opened an store exclusively dedicated to the Art sector at the same building.
A traditional gathering spot for authors and readers, all Cultura units have an auditorium that features concerts, shows, Jazz nights, conferences, philosophical cafes and autograph parties. And all these events are free. However, the Conjunto Nacional unit has a theater, the Eva Herz Theater, with a capacity for 166 people, where all the above events take place, besides children and adult plays, but for these tickets must be paid for.
Story
The story of Livraria Cultura began when Eva Herz, mother of the current president of the network, thought of starting a service of book rental, at the living room of her own home in São Paulo. Those were difficult times. Escaping from the Nazi persecution, the family had left Berlin in 1938 and had to find ways of increasing their income.
In 1950, Eva decided to enhance the business and besides renting books, she began to sell them.
By then, her reputation was established among the mothers in town, who would send their children to her, not only to rent or buy books, but also to get her advice on what to read.
In 1969, she gave up the rental service, keeping only the bookstore, then established in a house where the two front rooms were used for the store, while the back was the family home.
That same year, Pedro took over the administration of their business and made his mother''s dream come true: that of settling at a largest place, at Conjunto Nacional. It was in that address that the company established the profile that made it known: a large bookstore with quality, diversity and good services.
During the 70''s they start the process of enlarging the Cultura unit at Conjunto Nacional. In 1990, Fabio and Sergio Herz, Pedro''s sons, start working at the company. By the end of 1997 Cultura had four stores dispersed around Conjunto Nacional.
In 1995, Livraria Cultura created its internet site, and following the world trend, became the first Brazilian bookstore to sell on-line. In 2000, another great project of the board was accomplished: Cultura opened its first branch. A space of 32,290 square feet at Shopping Villa-Lobos, in São Paulo.
In 2003, Cultura opened its first branch in another town, at Bourbon Shopping Country, in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul state. In 2004, that happened in Recife, Pernambuco, and the following year in Brasília, the country''s capital. In July 2006, it would be the turn for another mall in São Paulo to get a store: Market Place.
In 2007, in addition of starting operations at its new premises at Conjunto Nacional, Cultura invested in renovating its visual identity. In 2008, they opened one store in April, in Campinas, and they are get prepared for the opening of one other store during the second semester.
