Hegle chased her "being naughty on the turntable" portrait yesterday with a showcase of another of her nastiest habits -- chasing the dining room chandelier. (She's tough to get in focus because she just goes and goes and goes.)
The kitchen before we started the renovation work. The linoleum was peeling off the floor. The cabinets, while pretty in a way, were not our style. The paint was blah. The benches were a little too busy for my tastes. And the ceiling fan's pull chain was broken (and it wasn't connected to a switch anywhere, to boot).
This was taken slightly after work had begun, which is why there are no appliances or a kitchen table in sight.

Hanging out at the lobby of the hotel, enjoying the free and fast WiFi. Getting weird looks from the front desk agents on duty, and suspicious looks from other guests in the lobby, and those getting off the elevator. They probably thought I was spying on them, hoping to get a whiff of a scandal or a scoop.
No scandal, no scoop, just getting fascinated with the changing light patterns of this columns, and juicy tidbits of other people's lives as they talked and gossiped amongst themselves in loud voices. (making it easy to overhear/eavesdrop, and besides they were in a public place -- can't help myself). A good couple hours all in all. :)
#LightFixtures - Diy mason jar light fixture, Create your own decorative light courtyard garden and conservatory with a glass bottle and a bricklayer crafts few. Craft stores sell glass jars for canning purposes, but you can also recycle used a mason jar from the pantry to the lights. Mason jars are not only...
This thing is heavy, and 3 1/2 feet tall. It takes a little spot light bulb at the bottom. I've yet to hang it. Has a bright purple cord.
(the hotel on 46th has been renovated)
Never underestimate this group -- I thought this might be unguessable, but no. John nails it as a BC Ferries ceiling light.
The Jellico Motel, just off I-75, Jellico, Tennessee. I haven't been able to determine exactly when it closed, but it appears to still have been in business in at least 2014.
The first light fixture is mounted and wired up. The next step is to put on the reflector and install the light bulbs. You can also see the cover that I bought from Lowe's, which is where the original light fixture was located.
We toured the Frank Lloyd Wright House and Studio in Oak Park Illinois last month when we visited Chicago. I like the murals and the stained glass.
Founded in 1901, the First Baptist Church broke ground for a new church in 1929 when it outgrew its frame church further north along 45th Street. Roscoe I. Vaughn, a long-time African American architect and educator, designed the church using a modified Gothic style common for urban churches of the period; it was completed in 1938. In December 1960, First Baptist broke ground for the massive "addition" on the adjacent corner lot. Designed by Ronald E. Senseman, the new building was oriented to Sheriff Road and contained a spacious new sanctuary with social, educational, and support spaces below.

Old Seoul Station, built in 1900, had been lying abandoned and neglected ever since the shiny, big and new Seoul Station was built next door in 2004.
I'm so glad they are using it for art exhibitions now. Last week I went to the Seoul International Photography Festival there. I did spend a lot of time looking at the photos, but mostly I was mesmerized by the fancy old chandeliers. I hope they preserve these ornate light fixtures.

Day One of the July "lighting fixtures" challenge.
I'm starting with what must be the oldest light I own, a floor lamp that used to belong to my Grandpa Coulter. Not quite sure why I felt compelled to photograph this lamp outdoors... that it usually lives in my very cluttered basement probably had something to do with it.
Although I don't have any "real" strobist gear yet, I wanted to experiment with balancing daylight (twilight) and tungsten light sources with different white balance settings.
The first image above used tungsten balance; the dim remaining daylight gives a nice blue cast to my pure white garage door. Clearly, however, the lamp is not casting enough light down on itself to allow it to stand out from the background, so in picture #2 I added a fill/separation light using a desk lamp on camera right (no "setup" shots, but I'm sure the desk lamp will be featured one day this month).
For picture #3 I switched to daylight balance (no fill light); notice the blue cast is gone from the background, and the tungsten bulb in the lamp casts a warmer glow. And, obviously, the final shot keeps the daylight balance and returns the fill light again from camera right.
This is my first time trying a "shoot every day" challenge! Should be lots of fun.
Bare bulbs scare me, as they're full of breaking and burning and whatnot. There are four of these in our new place and they all have crappy pulls. I have a tonne of chain though, so that'll be fixed quick.
With the help of the smarts of Anne and her mad skills, this is gonna get taken care of.
Not sure why but I never look up, at least when I'm indoors. This is the light fixture in the deli I go to. There is a whole row but I really like it. It's prettier in person
Donated as a memorial gift.
Richard Kerens constructed a chapel below his Crescent Hotel in memory of his mother. The chapel (the front portion of the church) opened in 1906. According to a 1907 article in the Arkansas Traveler, the chapel was completed in 1906. Kerens added a second portion behind the chapel creating St Elizabeth Church in 1909.
The church was placed in Ripley's Believe It or Not since you enter the church through the bell tower and wind down through the Stations of the Cross to enter the church.

#LightFixtures - Swag light fixture are used more frequently in areas where lighting is needed pendant and attic can not have access to enable wiring hanging ceiling light. Swag lamps are designed to hang from the chain attached to the ceiling and plug into the outlet. Any pendant light can be turned into a lamp...
The etymology of sconce is from the Latin absconsus, and the French esconce. It is a word of many meanings, mostly signifying a covering or protection, or, by extension, that which is covered or protected (stolen from Wikipedia)
The Shedd Aquarium is one of my favorite Chicago buildings. It is so incredibly detailed in every way. These chandeliers hang in the huge entryway hall.
Partitions throughout the building highlight different areas of science. Here, a DNA molecule is magnified many times over, and the lines on the partition illustrate the separation f of the DNA fragments.

"The Teatro Colón of Buenos Aires city is considered one of the best theaters in the world. Recognized for its acoustics and for the artistic value of its construction, its current building turned 100 years old in 2008. Located between the streets of Cerrito, Viamonte, Tucumán and Libertad, in the heart of the city of Buenos Aires, it was inaugurated on May 25, 1908 with the opera Aida by Giuseppe Verdi.
This building replaces the old Teatro Colón built in front of the Plaza de Mayo where today stands the Banco Nación. The construction of the new building took around 20 years, its foundation stone was placed on May 25, 1890, with the intention of inaugurating it before October 12, 1892 coinciding with the fourth centenary of the discovery of America. The initial project belonged to the architect Francesco Tamburini and, upon his death in 1891, it was continued and modified by his partner, the architect VÃctor Meano, author of the palace of the National Congress. The works advanced until 1894, but then stagnated for financial reasons. In 1904, after the death of Meano, the government commissioned the Belgian Jules Dormal to complete the work. Dormal introduced some structural modifications and definitely left his stamp on the French style decoration.
At the end of 1907, the first lease of the Teatro Colón was signed, although the works of completion of the building were delayed in relation to the date set for the inauguration of the hall, on May 25, 1908. In any case, in that date was the first opera performed in the main hall of the Theater by the Great Italian Lyric Company, although with some unfinished spaces of the building such as the Golden Hall and the iron canopies on Libertad and Cerrito streets."
