Mural by Menace Two and Resa Piece collectively known as @menaceresa, seen at 3454 Union Pacific Avenue in the Boyle Heights area of Los Angeles, California.
The artists state: "The laughing Buddha entity is considered a symbol of happiness, abundance and good luck. We painted this golden chrome Buddha character with stylized neon clouds because we think all of us can use a little good luck considering what’s going on in the world right now. The Chinese word painted by Menace says Prosperity. Wishing everyone a Buddha Blessed Day."

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind;
To talk health, happiness,a nd prosperity:
To make your friends fell that there si something in them;
To look on the sunny side of everything ;
To think of only of the best;
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are a bout your own;
To forget the mistakes of the past and profit by them;
To wear a cheerful countenace and give a smile to everyone you meet;
To be too large for worry;
Too noble for anger ,
Too strong for fear, too happy ,too permit the presence fo trouble.

The year is 1937. America and most of the world is experiencing the Great Depression. Rural Americans often relied on interurbans that were fairly prevalent from the turn of the century. Wisconsin especially had many lines connecting not only the larger cities, but many of the smaller towns in between. This is my interpretation of that era. While I dont wish to make accusations without the facts, it would appear the driver of the Cord 810 is rather well off for the times. The only time a car like that appears is when it's headed to one of the resorts up north frequented by the many gangsters from Chicago.

Smuggler's Cove in Flamborough, one of our favourite haunts.
Magical place and wonderful people, their catch, mainly crabs and are beyond words.
They also catch lobsters... they go straight to the Continent...
During the week, these fisher folk are working from very early morning, on Sunday, they take people around the surrounding bays, and to view the cliffs like the famous Bempton Cliffs, with all their natural (bird) wildlife, some take people fishing.
Here the skipper eased his boat in with confidence, funny how they spot a lens aimed at them so quickly..
Mind your head!
Again uncropped, take the time and experience the joys of the discipline of composing your image in camera…
Have a super day and thank you for visiting, Magda (*_*)

It was time to take a few hours and finish assembling and staging the Prosperity for a photo shoot. I started building this around this time last year, and finished this much by May 29th.
Published in Barcelona based art/culture magazine Y Sin Embargo #22, that is dedicated to the theme of capitalism vs technology.
Greetings to Fernando Prats and YSE team.
Congratulations to all artists who participated with their works.

The refurbished Southern Railway Prosperity Depot waits by unabandoned but unused tracks for trains that no longer come by. In front is a frog sculpture serving perhaps as a reminder that, years ago, the name of the town had been Frog Level before residents in the 1870s settled on its current name of Prosperity.
Best dumplings in Chinatown, every time I hit this spot up I take a picture... Until yesterday I could never get a good shot. Also got to finally meet up with www.flickr.com/photos/denn-ice/ a flickr friend. Check out his stream, we were both the subject of an upcoming article for fstoppers.com about cinematic photography. Ill be sure to post a link when the article is complete. Thanks to David Geffen for putting the whole thing together! A pleasure hanging out with you guys...

How beautiful it is to excel, and the goodness of giving from your heart
Inari Ōkami (稲荷大神, also Oinari) is the Japanese kami of foxes, of fertility, rice, tea and sake, of agriculture and industry, of general prosperity and worldly success, and one of the principal kami of Shinto. In earlier Japan, Inari was also the patron of swordsmiths and merchants. Represented as male, female, or androgynous, Inari is sometimes seen as a collective of three or five individual kami. Inari appears to have been worshipped since the founding of a shrine at Inari Mountain in 711 AD, although some scholars believe that worship started in the late 5th century.
Worship of Inari spread across Japan in the Edo period, and by the 16th century Inari had become the patron of blacksmiths and the protector of warriors. Inari is a popular figure in both Shinto and Buddhist beliefs in Japan. More than one-third (32,000) of the Shinto shrines in Japan are dedicated to Inari. Modern corporations, such as cosmetic company Shiseido, continue to revere Inari as a patron kami, with shrines atop their corporate headquarters.[1]
Inari's foxes, or kitsune, are pure white and act as their messengers
Portrait of a steel town thats down on its luck. If I try hard enough, I can feel the bustle of days gone by.
Built by Walter Klepzig in 1928, Klepzig Mill sits on a rocky outcrop overlooking shut-ins on Rocky Creek in Shannon County, Missouri. Klepzig purchased the land in 1912 for $5.50 per acre. The son of a Prussian German immigrant, Klepzig sawed logs into boards to build this small turbine mill and nearby out-buildings. Klepzig was also known to routinely save "good boards" for use in constructing coffins for his neighbors. He was one of the first in the area to introduce both barbed and woven wire fences and to raise a refined breed of milking cow. With the mill running at times at full capacity and his progressive agricultural methods, Klepzig and his family enjoyed some degree of prosperity. The family was reported to have purchased the first radio in the county. They often shared their prosperity by grinding corn for neighbors who were “on starvation.”
Walter Klepzig picked one of the most beautiful spots in the rugged Missouri Ozarks to build his mill. Isolated in a narrow gorge between two high bluffs rising up to 1140 feet, with Buzzard Mountain on one side and Mill Mountain on the other, the Mill is located just off of a ten-foot wide dirt road. Below the mill, Rocky Creek tumbles through a series of waterfalls and pools formed by igneous rock as it travels eventually to join the Current River several miles downstream.
The Mill itself is not much to look at. The very simple building houses one room with portions of the millworks still inside. The Mill is made from plain wooden boards, the scrap metal hinge from the hood of a Model "A" Ford truck, and an old corrugated iron roof. In addition to the doorway, one window punctuates each of the east and west walls. The Mill is located in a spectacular setting, clinging to the rocky south bank of Rocky Creek surrounded by the rhyolite rock of the "shut-in" canyon. Shut-ins occur when a stream is “shut in” to a narrow canyon-like valley. The stream flows through softer sedimentary bedrock materials such as dolomite or sandstone, but encounters more resistant igneous rock, thus forming waterfalls and pools.
In addition to the mill building, a small springhouse, chicken laying house and smokehouse are still standing. However, fires have destroyed all but the concrete foundations of the 1 ½ story Klepzig House and 2 ½ story barn that once stood nearby.
Klepzig Mill is located in the Ozark National Scenic Riverways near Eminence, Missouri, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. It was acquired by the National Park Service in 1974. The mill structure has been partially restored by the Parks Service over the years. According to its registration with the National Register of Historic Places: “Standing at the Klepzig mill or house site today, one will see in any direction essentially the same vista viewed in 1930.” The landscape today is “substantially unchanged since the years of the mill’s operation.”

My artwork submission for the ASHRAYA Art Expo that was held 5/28-6/4 to aid in funding for the women and children of India. It was a huge honor to be asked to participate in this project!
The inspiration behind my piece was first and formost to reflect Indian culture... in both dance, costume, rich colors (the green and orange of the native flag), and their spirituality as represented by the elephant. The Hindu god, Ganesh who has the head of an elephant, is the first god who is turned to in times of trouble, as he is the remover of obstacles. So with the ASHRAYA project, it is my hope that our small community can help the women and children in India to face their struggles and find the peace, happiness and prosperity they deserve.

An earthen pot carries an oil lamp or a burning piece of camphor used for a ritual. Shot late evening at the Brigade Road in Bangalore. The lovely tones of Tri-X and its beautiful performance in low light never cease to amaze me.
