The Ronettes were a girl group of the 1960s from New York City, best known for their work with producer Phil Spector. They consisted of lead singer Veronica Bennett (a.k.a. Ronnie Spector), her sister Estelle Bennett, and their cousin Nedra Talley. Their defining album is Presenting the Fabulous Ronettes Featuring Veronica from 1963, and their most famous songs include "Be My Baby", "Baby, I Love You", "(The Best Part of) Breakin' Up", and "(Walking) in the Rain".

My take on a Spector minifig that GI brick sometimes has for sell, and I have most of the parts to make my own version, so I'll keep on toying with it.
Gutted. I was lucky enough to see Ronnie in 20210 at Lincoln Center Out of Doors in New York, where she guested with the almost as legendary ? and the Mysterians (96 Tears).

A tribute to the unforgettable Ronnie Spector, who must have had the highest beehive hairdo of all time, and sang lead on "Be My Baby," "Walking in the Rain," and all of the hits of the great 1960s girl group The Ronettes.
Fascinating obituary (excerpt):
New York Times Jan. 12, 2022
Ronnie Spector, Who Brought Edge to Girl-Group Sound, Dies at 78
As a member of the Ronettes, she sang on the hits “Be My Baby” and “Baby, I Love You.”…Ronnie Spector helped transform the virginal model that had defined female pop groups since the 1940s.
Ronnie Spector, the lead singer of the Ronettes, the 1960s vocal trio that gave a passionate, bad-girl edge to pop’s girl-group sound with hits like “Be My Baby” and “Baby, I Love You,” died on Wednesday. She was 78.
She died after “a brief battle with cancer,” according to a statement from her family, which gave no further details.
With high-piled hair, tight outfits and seductive looks, the three young women of the Ronettes — Ronnie, born Veronica Bennett; her sister, Estelle; and their cousin Nedra Talley — transformed the virginal model that had defined female pop groups since the 1940s.
“We weren’t afraid to be hot. That was our gimmick,” Ms. Spector wrote in her 1990 memoir, “Be My Baby: How I Survived Mascara, Miniskirts, and Madness, or, My Life as a Fabulous Ronette.”
“When we saw the Shirelles walk onstage with their wide party dresses,” she wrote, “we went in the opposite direction and squeezed our bodies into the tightest skirts we could find. Then we’d get out onstage and hike them up to show our legs even more.”
In songs like “Be My Baby,” a No. 2 hit in 1963, they sang with powerful voices of street-smart romance (“We’ll make ’em turn their heads everyplace we go”), over the swelling “wall of sound” production of Phil Spector.
“Be My Baby” was a classic of 1960s pop that seemed to reveal both innocence and grit, and it earned lasting admiration from fellow musicians. It appeared in Martin Scorsese’s “Mean Streets,” the hit 1987 television show “Moonlighting” and the title sequence of “Dirty Dancing.” The group’s look and sound made them a touchstone for women in rock music, from Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders to Amy Winehouse.
Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, in his speech inducting the Ronettes into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2007, described hearing the group warming up backstage when they shared touring bills in the 1960s. “They could sing all their way right through a wall of sound,” he said. “They didn’t need anything.”
Later, Ms. Spector detailed the abuse she endured while married to Mr. Spector. When the group was inducted into the Rock Hall, they pointedly did not mention their former producer. Phil Spector, who was sentenced to prison for the 2003 murder of a woman at his home, died at 81 last January…

Like Ghostly Spectors these figures watch quietly over the Ghost Town of Rhyolite, Nevada. Like Rhyolite they are empty, a perfect symbol for the abandoned town. These figures are part of a work by the Belgian artist Albert Szukalski, called the Last Supper.

I have been shooting with Jarrod Mosier for 3 years now and have constantly in his photographic shadow. Talent and a nice assortment of Singh-Ray neutral density filters is what has separated us. Today the gap closes a bit. I got 5 filters in the mail today from Ray and I am a step closer to Jarrod. These are 5 of the shots that I got of tonight's sunset with my new filters.
The oldies box comes through again. This fine Freightliner leased to Spector Motor Freight was sitting in Fpon Du Lac, Wisconsin in Sept 1973 when I took it's portrait.
