'Fortune Teller's Fortune: Fix Your Hair!' On Black
On a sidestreet off Bleeker St., I noticed the red neon sign for a fortune teller, with the white neon hand in the middle and went to make a shot. As I drew near, I saw that a fortune teller was in the window, so I kept my distance and stood in the street to make a series of shots. She was apparently bored, no business on a night where it was raining on and off.
She began to fix her hair, put in a bobby pin, and check herself out in a hand mirror. In other words, she was completely engaged, rather than looking out the window, so didn't notice me at all....
A true gift bestowed by the photography gods! I'm eternally grateful, gods!!!

Governors Island Ferry Dock, NYC
by navema
As the ferry departs Manhattan, passengers can see the work of artist Lawrence Weiner: the words AT THE SAME MOMENT painted on the wooden fender rack that guides the ferry into and out of its slip. Weiner is an artist whose medium is language, and his work for This World & Nearer Ones reflects his ongoing examination of the relationship between language and physical site. Text-from the official signs in subways and on streets to the ubiquitous presence of advertising-guides our experience in the world. AT THE SAME MOMENT invites us to consider the spatial and temporal relations between two distinct places and the ferry journey that links them together. The ferry's shuttling back and forth echoes the many populations that have come and gone from the island, from the Native Americans to the Dutch and British, the US Army and Coast Guard, and the thousands of civilians who enjoy it today. As one group departs, another arrives at the same moment. As a greeting and a farewell to visitors, Weiner's text kindles a sense of this history and fleeting simultaneity in the mind of the receiver.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Lawrence Weiner (born February 10, 1942) was a central figure in the formation of conceptual art in the 1960s. His work often takes the form of typographic texts.
Weiner was born in the Bronx, New York. His work in the early 1960s included 6 years of making explosions in the landscape of California to create craters as individual sculptures. He is also known during his early work for creating gestures described in simple statements leading to the ambiguity of whether the artwork was the gesture or the statement describing the gesture: e.g."Two minutes of spray paint directly on the floor.." or " A 36" x 36" removal of lathing or support wall..." (both 1968). In 1968, when Sol LeWitt came up with his Paragraphs on Conceptual Art, Weiner formulated his famous Declaration of Intent (1968):
1. The artist may construct the piece.
2. The piece may be fabricated.
3. The piece need not be built.
Each being equal and consistent with the intent of the artist the decision as to condition rests with the receiver upon the occasion of receivership.
Weiner created his first book Statements in 1968, a small 64-page paperback with texts describing projects. Published by The Louis Kellner Foundation and Seth Siegelaub, "Statements" is considered one of the seminal conceptual artist's books of the era. He was a contributor to the famous Xeroxbook also published by Seth Siegelaub in 1968.
Since the early 1970s, wall installations have been Weiner's primary medium, and he has shown at the Leo Castelli gallery. Nevertheless, Weiner works in a wide variety of media, including video, film, books, sound art using audio tape, sculpture, performance art, installation art, and graphic art. In 2007 he participated at the symposium “Personal Structures Time-Space-Existence” a project which was initiated by the artist Rene Rietmeyer. In 2008 an excerpt from his opera (with composer Peter Gordon) The Society Architect Ponders the Golden Gate Bridge was issued on the compilation album Crosstalk: American Speech Music (Bridge Records) produced by Mendi + Keith Obadike. In 2009 he participated in the art project Find Me, by Gema Alava, in company of artists Robert Ryman, Merrill Wagner and Paul Kos.
Weiner is represented in New York City by Marian Goodman Gallery, in London by Lisson Gallery, in Paris by Yvon Lambert Gallery, in Los Angeles by Regen Projects, in Reykjavik by i8 Galleri, and in Tel Aviv by Dvir Gallery.

English comedian Charles ‘Charlie’ Chaplin (1889-1977 was one of the most creative and influential personalities of the silent-film era. His most famous role was that of The Tramp with his toothbrush moustache, undersized bowler hat and bamboo cane who struggled to survive while keeping his dignity in a world with great social injustice. Chaplin used mime, slapstick and other visual comedy routines, and he not only starred in his films, but also directed, wrote and produced them, and composed the music as well. His working life in entertainment spanned over 75 years, from the Victorian stage and the Music Hall in the United Kingdom as a child performer, until close to his death at the age of 88. Author George Bernard Shaw called Chaplin "the only genius to come out of the movie industry".

Sand. The sand in the Oregon Dunes is from the Coast Mountain Range, which is sedimentary rock that was uplifted 12 million years ago. As rock was moved downstream by rivers, it tumbled and abraded itself into sand.
Tierra del Mar is an unincorporated community in Tillamook County, Oregon, United States, located on the Oregon Coast, about 25 miles south of Tillamook and 4 miles north of Pacific City and Cape Kiwanda, along Sandlake Road, west of U.S. Route 101.

“There is a visual conversation that takes place on the streets of urban environments. This conversation is dominated primarily by advertising and utilitarian signage and assumes passive participation. Whether invited or not I am going to participate in this conversation.
Public spaces were never intended to be coated from top to bottom with photos of consumer products. These spaces should, in some manner, reflect the culture that thrives in that space.
Some people view what I do as vandalism. I assume that their objection is that I alter the landscape without permission.
Advertising perpetually alters our environment without the permission of it’s inhabitants. The only difference is that advertisers pay for the privilege to do so and I don’t.”

Significance
Hangar B was constructed at Naval Air Station Tillamook for the mooring and maintenance of blimps during World War II. Using over 3.3 million board feet of lumber, Hangar B is considered to be one of the largest wood clear span buildings in the entire world and is reportedly one of only seven similar blimp hangars remaining in the United States.
History
Naval Air Station Tillamook’s Hangar B is highly significant for its role in World War II national defense as well as its unique design characteristics. Completed on August 15, 1943, Hangar B was one of two identical blimp hangars built in Tillamook to house a squadron of blimps, ZP-33, that patrolled the coastline from California to the Canadian border during World War II.
The eight “K” series blimps housed in Tillamook during the war years were 252 feet long and were armed with four depth chargers and two 50‐caliber machine guns. Hangar B was decommissioned in 1948 and became Tillamook Air Museum in 1994.
Structurally, Hangar B is one of the largest wood buildings in the world, measuring 1,072 feet long, 296 feet wide and 192 feet high. According to the National Register nomination, “Pressure-treated Pacific Northwest lumber was used for the vast number of structural framing members with the object of conserving steel for the overseas war effort. The roof support system, consisting of nearly parabolic open-web truss arch ribs on reinforced concrete bents spaced at 20-foot intervals, tested building technology of the day.” The identical Hangar A was destroyed by fire in 1992.
Why it’s Endangered
Located within the Port of Tillamook Bay Industrial Park, Hangar B is in dire need of rehabilitation. While additional assessments are needed, a 2011 study identified that the 430,000 sq. ft roof needs replacement due to rusting and rapid deterioration caused by recurrent heavy rains and high winds. The immense doors on the south end of the hangar have become inoperable, and the north end doors need immediate repair to maintain operability. Estimates for rehab are approximately $15 million. While the building will continue to serve as Tillamook Air Museum until the current tenant’s lease ends in 2016, the cash flow generated by the museum is insufficient to cover even a fraction of the mounting repair bill.
Our Near-term Goals
Funding for the phased rehabilitation of Hangar B is critical if the building is to survive into the future. With the pending relocation of private planes housed in the Air Museum, an updated plan for building use and outside financial support must be identified.
red letter day www.answers.com/library/Wikipedia-cid-45369498
A red letter day (sometimes hyphenated as red-letter day) is any day of special significance.
The term originates from Medieval church calendars. Illuminated manuscripts often marked initial capitals and highlighted words in red ink, known as rubrics. The First Council of Nicaea in 325 decreed the saint's days, feasts and other holy days, which came to be printed on church calendars in red. The term came into wider usage with the appearance in 1549 of the first Book of Common Prayer in which the calendar showed special holy days in red ink.
Many current calendars have special dates and holidays such as Sundays, Christmas Day and Midsummer Day rendered in red colour instead of black.
On red letter days, judges of the English High Court (Queen's Bench Division) wear, at sittings of the Court of Law, their scarlet robes (See court dress). Also in the United Kingdom, other civil dates have been added to the original religious dates. These include anniversaries of the Monarch's birthday, official birthday, accession and coronation.
The term "red letter day" is colloquially used to indicate any date of personal significance.
May everyone have plenty of Red-Letter days !!!

A couple of boutiques have brought some inkling of urbanity to this section of the Cass Corridor.
beige/coffee cream
I took this shot while I was out today. I was stopped at the intersection of University and Central Avenues. This colour is very typical in the area.
Some of my favorite things are birds, jewels, game pieces, and flowers and this necklace has them all.
