i am enamored of the little 'o' with the halo. clever and cute ♥ oh, and the font is pleasing as well.
Everything but the photo is from the actual June 12, 1944 Life Magazine. I'm sure you agree the photo makes you think the Norden Bombsight is about to be trained on the bridge in the photo. Gets my pulse racing... so much I've also created some more mag covers.
Over a thousand Chicagoans, from all walks of life and all parts of the city, came together at Millennium Park to perform "Crowd Out" by Davind Lang.
Although a bit chaotic in the beginning, once the leaders of each of the small groups that formed the whole got things in sync, it became a beautiful performance and a moving experience.
I came upon this event purely by accident and it took me a while to figure out what was going on.
Once surrounded by all these people, I was pretty much stuck, so you see some of the same faces over and over again.

As my Fine-Art Exhibit: 'EVERYONE COULD USE A HERO nears it's final weeks, I'd like to first and foremost apologize to my Flickr FAM for not being able to be online these days as much as I would like to be. My CREATIVE work pulls me from here to there, but I always make it a point to post new material as I am able to. I want to take the time out to extend a most sincere 'Thank-You' to those who made my "EVERYONE COULD USE A HERO" fine-art exhibit at Central Gallery a huge success. (Peace)... *T.M.NOEL/ ANGRYHOUZE

Notes
•Caption label from exhibit "Monstrous Craws...": The jaunty spirit of the Jazz Age came to life in the work of influential illustrator John Held, Jr. (1889-1958). During the 1920s, his colorful portrayals of flippant "flapper" girls and jaunty "Joe College" boys appeared in such magazines as Judge, The New Yorker, College Humor, Harper's Bazaar. His designs, such as this magazine cover depicting a coolly coquettish girl and a gawky, grinning guy, helped delineate a carefree, confident image of American society. Held also wrote and illustrated numerous books, designed costumes and sets for musical reviews, and created comic strips including Oh! Margy (later Merely Margy), Joe Prep, and Rah Rah Rosalie. Examples of his graphic work form part of the Library's Cabinet of American Illustration, a national collection of original drawings by generations of leading artists, illustrators, and cartoonists.

Dad loves her enough to tell her that her breath is funky. And did the dentist suddenly become her father at the end of the story?
On the top deck of the BOAC “City of Cardiff” Short Solent Mark III flying boat at the Oakland Aviation Museum. See here and here for views of the exterior of the airplane.
The Museum’s Solent was a cast member in the movie “Raiders of the Lost Ark”, and this is the seat that Harrison Ford occupied in the movie (it is the one that is the dirtiest and most worn out because everyone wants to sit in it, :-D). The magazine is a photocopy of the magazine that was in the Solent scenes in the movie as well.
More information on the museum’s Solent flying boat can be found here.

Battleship USS Iowa dropping anchor (possibly San Francisco Bay).
I know I'd be one of those sailors on the bow, watching this -- and every other operation I could see! Must remember there are many young sailors aboard Navy ships that have never seen much of anything beyond their hometown. That's the way it was with my dad: He was barely 17, from a remote, rural Florida town, when he enlisted in the Navy in 1941 -- six months before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Though he chose Naval Aviation as a career that lasted until 1955, he spent more time on Navy ships -- aircraft carriers, that is -- than most sailors.
I suspect this photo is part of a 1951 article, which would put the Iowa anchoring in San Francisco bay, off Treasure Island (A US Navy facility at that time); if that's correct, anyone standing on deck or above could gaze across the bay due North -- toward Richmond, California -- and see not only the Kaiser shipyards (where the WW2 Liberty ships and Victory ships were built) , but also the pier where the USS Iowa is temporarily berthed right now. As of October 28, 2011, the battleship is undergoing repairs and preparation for the final move to southern California, where she will continue to be prepared to open as a floating museum (and much more) on the 4th of July, 2012.
The forward deck and 16-inch guns are open to tours (in Richmond, CA) right now (12/19/11): www.pacificbattleship.com/blog
