From A Distance by Bette Midler
A small break away from my recent work. Have a most wonderful day today!!
Keys that can be of great help to make your life easier, can also drag you to alien worlds... Keys and the machine behind them can be addictive. Beware of them.

Heidi is always very interested in my groceries. For some reason she is especially keen on strawberries... they seem to have the most fascinating scent for her.

Reminded me of when I used to ski. The mountain often didn't look so high or so steep or so far!
We chose to walk the dirt path just off to the right which takes you through some woods, crosses a little brook and eventually leads you to the Temple of Love and the Rock Garden!

THE CRITICS HAVE SPOKEN !!
'I was on a beautiful sim only to receive an IM from Twain. I'd heard he was a total asshole. His first words to me were: 'Hi Blondie !' I was disgusted ! Luckily, his agent, Craig Rogalski, www.imdb.com/name/nm8226307/bio/ quickly sent me a personal IM and smoothed things over. We agreed on a one week shoot on my sim. I wouldn't have to interact with Twain at all !
The rest of the movie crew was very professional ! As for the movie itself. It seems to have been well directed. I enjoyed the plot and the homey storyline.
I really must go now. [Arol Lightfoot, sim owner/Flickr photo artist]
'Twain's movie is virtual world. It isn't reality ( contain thought) [sandi / flickr artist]
'I was at the beach with Jax and we decided to drop in and catch Twain's latest movie. It wasn't as dark or mysterious as most of his films. I enjoyed the clouds drifting by. It reminded me of my younger days at the beach. Jax didn't say much about it .. but, then, Jax never says much. [shrugs] [Cat2812 Beachtime Editor/Flickr photo Artist]
'I really don't believe this is an original Twain movie ! Where is the desolation ? Where is the atmosphere ? Where is the dreamy quality ? .. Where is that lonely feeling ? Where is the hidden details ? This is a forgery ! I am going to tell Twain !! [Drєαmsᥫ᭡ / Flickr photo Artist /Dreamer ]

'Hmm? Twain who ? .... [Fabiola Rosenfeld/Flickr Photo Artist]
'I saw Arol's sim buried on a profile and I wanted to have a look. When I got there I was amazed at how beautiful and large it actually is ! So I approached Arol in the most polite way ... I, um , .. well ? Maybe not. She allowed my film crew a week to do the entire shoot. I chose Conrad L. Hall: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conrad_Hall : to be my cinematographer. Conrad has worked on films such as American Beauty and Cool Hand Luke .. he's brilliant !! It is true, this is not one of my standard films that feature a lot of derendering, dark, mysterious, atmospheric, depressing, nor a lack of storyline. As they say in the industry, I wanted to 'break an eye' and I did ! It may not do as well at the box office, .. but it is my film and I'm proud as punch !

Marchers on the Common only a couple of blocks away . . . and this man sits reading the paper on his stoop.
A Norfolk Southern GP15-1 was rolling one of Chicagoland's bottle trains along the Indiana Harbor Belt. Both the former Conrail GP15-1 and that classic NYC-style signal gantry are long gone.
when quality mattered...every dial, every gauge, every switch, every flange, every bracket, every screw, without exception, it all mattered, nothing less than perfection!
Claude M. Cox's original Overland car was developed in the early 1900s by the Standard Wheel Company of Terre Haut, Indiana. The Overland Company was formed in 1903 by Mr. Cox and Charles Minshall but it didn't take off until John North Willys arrived in 1907. Mr. Willys was a New York auto dealer and a major Overland customer. He ordered 500 Overlands and paid a deposit of $10,000. After his product was not delivered, he traveled to Indiana only to find Overland on the point of closure. Wanting to recoup his investment, Willys secured additional credit and reorganized the company. By mid-1908 they were in a position to build a new factory. Production increased and by 1909 the company had moved to Toledo, Ohio. Willys eventually became president of the company.
From 1910 to 1914, the company produced only four-cylinder models and they were all right-hand drive. (The company began using left-hand drive in 1915). In 1914, Overland was the second-largest producer of cars in the US, behind only Ford. While the Model T appealed to the masses, the Overland was an upmarket model selling for approximately twice the cost of a T. The Overland was more spacious, more powerful, and larger than the FOrd and its four-cylinder engine had separately cast cylinder jugs. An electric starter was available as a $125 option in 1914.
Overland built a quality automobile that was advanced for its time. The early models had a removable ignition plug that prevents auto theft.
During the 1920s, Willys-Overland produced the Willys Knight, which was powered by the sleeve valve engine designed by Indiana native Charles Knight. During World War II, Willys produced the Jeep. Several modern Jeep models pay homage to their Overland roots with the name of their top models wearing the 'Overland' nameplate.

Ed Ruscha took away the formal photographic quality of his images and presented the landscape as naturally and and casually as possible. He had a contempt for the careful hand-crafted aspect of formal fine art photography.
Dan Graham used an ordinary Kodak camera with a deliberate unconcern with quality thus undermine the traditions of fine art photography.
