MacArthur's history with the USS Battleship Missouri is historical to WWII.
The Telephot Vega Stereo camera of 1906 is amalgamated to the deck of the Missouri to create a camera with both a heightened stereo effect that complements the vertiginous "haiku" viewfinder on the ship deck. Both are intended, along with the trapezoidal 'cut' from the ship hull, to give the user a sense of history, of visually moving forward and looking back to the static present moment. An indicator marks the exact spot where the US-Japan surrender agreement was signed ending the Second World War. Compartments in the hull store MacArthur's House of Windsor pipe tobacco blend, the Parker Orange Senior Duofold pen used to sign the surrender agreement and an ink bottle.

Some towers have a funnel structure on top, to allow for unobstructed views of the street.
However, this architectural model is a quasi-mountain shape, dedicated to the wandering Mountain dwelling poet Santoka.
Its odd small-yet-large scale isn't far removed from an elephantine colossus. Climbing up the mountain one encounters multiple terraces that create views that are as important as reaching the top, although there are optional elevator banks. The tower contains multiple inns, narrow streets, the refuge of trees, foliage and drinking huts where one can spend the night(s) and enjoy the sunrise. These "mountainside" levels also have near total darkness at night (other then some stone lanterns) as the top of the tower is used for lighting instead of a 360-degree view and is shielded from the levels below.

Quite a bit of Weegee's fame rests on his medium format photographs of murder victims.
While these portraits are essentially unique in the history of photography, they are also controversial.
It is only my own opinion, which is all I have the right to say, but I don't feel these photographs should have been taken, even for art's sake. However that being said, I do not condemn it, and I do keep in mind the special qualities of his work. For me, his particular style of photography has a subtle side that I appreciate and learn from the more I look at it. And as I have stated in previous designs dedicated to him, he was a master darkroom technician.
I want to create a camera for Weegee that focuses upon the dead in a more spiritual way befitting them, and using this design to reconcile.
With that in mind, this design proposal seeks to give homage not only to Weegee but also to the photographs and to their subjects. Perhaps in his heart, Weegee was honoring them in some way, but here I propose that the camera the tied to an act of ritual for the dead.
Chinese Ming Qi has a long tradition, as other cultures like the Egyptians, to honor and provide for dead. Funerary objects are depicted and used in various ways. Although I am not an expert on this subject, what is different in the Chinese ritual is that these objects are burned to 'activate' them.
A vintage multiplying camera of the late 19th century is slightly modified for this design. A Chinese Ming Qi object, a house, to 'house' the transient murdered victims becomes a temporary body for the camera, which will take four simultaneous exposures very sharply by virtue of the adapted Speed Graphic flashgun. When the photographs are exposed, the Ming Qi house is detached from its innards (the multiplying camera is among the simplest kind of cameras, functionally) and the user then sets it afire, like incense (which also comes with the kit) thus giving this camera an honorary one-time use befitting the dead, whether the subject here be a gunned down criminal or a victim. A small side compartment holds a cigar to help the user to silently reflect during the ceremony.
The Ming Qi object in this case is further distinguished, as opposed to an ordinary dollhouse or toy, by various silver decorations and subtle styling commensurate with its purpose. In a subtle but coincidental way, this ritual act for the camera indirectly recalls Weegee's own theatricality and uniqueness in life.

El rosetón (románico de transición al gótico/protogótico, siglo XIII) de la fachada occidental de la Iglesia de San Felipe de Brihuega, la villa capital de municipio, situado en la comarca natural de La Alcarria (subcomarca de Alcarria Alta), en la provincia de Guadalajara, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
Se considera que esta iglesia, dedicada a San Felipe Apóstol, fue construída entre 1209-1246 bajo el mecenazgo del Arzobispo de Toledo y el señor de Brihuega Rodrigo Ximénez de Rada, a pesar de no existir documentación escrita que confirme este hecho o aclare la historia anterior de este templo.
"...Según nos describe García López en su Catálogo Monumental de Guadalajara: "Ennoblece más esta elegante fachada un rosetón circular, abierto bajo el ángulo en que concluye el muro central. Consta de un círculo rodeado de seis medios círculos uno y otros con lóbulos, redientes y arquillos que forman una elegante tracería ojival.
Las líneas rectas dominantes forman el exalfa o sello de Salomón sin intención notoria de que resalte."
La Iglesia de San Felipe de Brihuega
"...Conotado ao simbolismo do hexalfa, além deste exposto de forma clara, encontra-se nos templos cristãos o seu derivado hexafólio ou sexifólio, a estrela de seis raios e a rosácea ou roseta hexapétala, e apesar das suas numerosas variantes é normalmente interpretado como símbolo solar – o rosetão ou roseta do Sol, antigo símbolo mitraico herdado pelos cristãos para designarem Christus Sollis, o Cristo Solar ou Iluminado, e também a Rosa Mística da ladainha mariana, a Virgem Mãe de Deus, dependendo do sentido geral do simbolismo exposto a qual dos Dois se deve atribuir no caso particular esse símbolo."
O Hexalfa é igual à Alma Universal (por Vitor Manuel Adrião)
LA LEYENDA SOBRE SAN FELIPE APÓSTOL Y EL DRAGÓN DE MARTE:
San Felipe aparece en quinto lugar en las listas de los apóstoles (Mt 10, 3; Mc. 3, 18; Lc 6, 14; Hch 1, 13). Era originario de Betsadia, y de profesión pescador. Junto con Andrés, son los únicos que tienen nombres griegos entre los apóstoles
San Felipe es llamado por el Señor al grupo de sus discípulos al día siguiente de haber llamado a Andrés, Juan y Pedro (Jn 1, 43-44). San Felipe es quien invita a Natanael a conocer al Señor (Jn 1, 45). Tiene otras intervenciones significativas en el Evangelio. El día la multiplicación de los panes el Señor, para probarlo, se dirige a él preguntándole dónde comprarían pan para tanta gente (Jn 6, 5-7). Es a San Felipe a quien se dirigen los extranjeros deseosos de conocer al Señor (Jn 12, 20-22) y es él el que le pide al Señor en la última cena que le "muestre al Padre" (Jn 14, 8-11)
San Felipe se dedicó a predicar en las regiones de Frigia, actualmente Turquía, y Escitia, actualmente Moldavia, Ucrania, Hungría y el este de Rusia. Fue martirizado y muerto en Hierápolis. Su martirio consistió en ser crucificado y apedreado. Posteriormente sus reliquias se trasladan a Roma...
El relato tradicional sobre San Felipe Apóstol y el Dragón de Marte se basa en el texto incluído en la Leyenda Dorada de Jacopo Vorágine, pero se narra en diferentes versiones:
«...Una leyenda cuenta que los paganos querían obligarlo a hacer un sacrificio a una estatua de Marte, pero un dragón, colocado bajo el pedestal, mata con su aliento al sacerdote que ordena el sacrificio y a dos soldados. Felipe, apiadado de ellos, pone en fuga al dragón y resucita a los tres muertos.»
«...Los paganos quisieron obligarle a adorar una imagen de Marte, pero el santo hizo que del pedestal saliera un dragón, que mató al hijo del pontífice y varios personajes más con su aliento. El santo sanó a los heridos y resucitó a los muertos, a petición de la muchedumbre que allí se había congregado, a cambio de que se rompiera la estatua para eregir una cruz en su lugar.»
«...En Escitia fue apresado y llevado delante de una estatua de Marte para obligarle a hacer sacrificios. Pero de debajo de la estatua salió un dragón que mató al instante a tres personas. San Felipe se ofreció a resucitarlos si derribaban la estatua, por lo que expulsó al dragón del lugar y resucitó a los muertos, consiguiendo así muchas conversiones.»
«...San Felipe Apóstol...desterró al desierto al dragón que devoró al hijo del pontífice y a dos tribunos que presenciaban como era sacrificado a Marte en la ciudad de Escytia...»

There's the good old days of the British Rai, and also the good old days of early Bond (as apologist) for the era of plain, old fashioned espionage.
Guzzling gallons of high octane alcohol and living it up are key themes of Ian Fleming's short life.
Bond receives a full briefing of the situation. Then local money and a survey map are deposited into the glove compartment of a fast, but beaten up 1960 Sunbeam Alpine sports car, which is customized with built-in bar containing Walker's Deluxe Bourbon, an ice bucket and highball glasses. Bond carries his own Moreland Specials. On the passenger side, a vanity mirror conceals a bottle of Chanel No. 5, and a gun compartment for the adventure-hungry Mary Goodnight.

I doodled on the cover of a Moleskine reporter notebook with a really nice metallic gel pen in pink and gold - but the colour didn't stick. I waited overnight, then poured glitter embossing powder over the text and heated it. It worked! The text is sealed underneath and the letters are raised.

I designed and stitched this pattern in 2009 - you can see it here. I stitched it on 18 count aida. I wanted to see what it would look like on 28 count linen. I think it's kinda pretty.
(The text is the only bit I remember from A Farewell to Arms.)
I decided to pick this sampler back up and finish 'er off. It ended up being rather quick work too.

Araki's well written monograph, "Subway Love" has nostalgic photos (one is shown in a "re-photo" below as a recommendation for the book). He systematically used various format lenses and cameras for this book.
This is my second araki-dedicated camera. His colorful and quirky personality easily inspires design, even eyeglasses design.
This proposed camera will surely attract attention (something araki can readily handle).
A pair of eyeglasses in clear and cool white tones attach to the photographer. A red button operates a set of pink & grey trains (as shown in an attached photo) that move along three settings intersecting with up to 5 vintage lenses.
Authentic tokyo train station chimes randomly sound from mp3 clips as the train stops at each juncture. You can hear a sample of some typical chimes from the iPhone app called "Tokyo Yamanote Line Chimes".
Araki's original choice of 35mm, 21mm and 100mm lenses used for shooting the photos for his book translate well to vintage movie projector lenses of 17mm, 10mm, and a Summilux 50mm when connected to the Lumix micro 4/3. The two vintage lenses will keep the net weight down to a minimum. The Lumix used is painted in a flashy Araki commemorative red. Now you can re-create a 'subway kind of love' with the same araki outfit, more or less, but converted to digital. Araki might be amused with the surreal effects that the vintage & digital create.

Luxury is an odd thing. It's equally about what we can have and what we cannot.
The legendary gourmand James Beard claimed that a simple baked potato was true gourmet food. And indeed, an organic yellow potato baked with its skin on sprinkled with coarsely ground sea salt will truly open anyone's imagination.
Personally, my favorite two snacks are cottage cheese and ketchup and avocado sprinkled with sugar (try these separately, you just might never look back).
True luxury still requires its semantic relations.
I called this design a "composition" hut rather than a writer's hut simply to marry the idea of a writer's abode and a musical composer's abode. The idea of going someplace to create requires a kind of 'compression' that is difficult to both identify and to enact. What should a street photographer's hut look like? And how about a golfer's hut?
It is no coincidence that the word hut and heart are similar. Both may be semantically related here.
Mahler's Komponierten haus had a peculiar entry: the low door opened out inside to a much larger interior space, perhaps in the style of Japanese teahouses. A golfer stepping into a tee box faces a similar quasi-compression.
The legendary James Bond film "Goldfinger", has a scene onboard a private jet. This production was designed by Sir Ken Adams. Nevertheless it is a perfect ingredient to infuse fantasy with design for a homage to Ian Fleming.
Why isn't a Bond interior more simple? Perhaps because this is part of the Bond vocabulary.
In the film and in the hut, both parties are secretly observing each other. It's a perfect symbiosis.
The bathroom represents the womb or the kitchen or a fire element.
Pussy Galore tries to control Bond with a Smith & Wesson. Bond coolly replies that if she were to use that on him, the bullet would go through the fuselage and everyone would die. The gun represents a neutralized fiire element. Contrast this with the intimate, warm and vibrant shave Bond has in the bathroom as he observes the scene. This slow act is oddly a metaphor for composition.
I like to think of my drawings as an Ozu notebook for one of his films. The scene on the spread pages is visually and textually set slowly piece by piece by two men over many bottles of Sake. Indeed, Tateshina is the perfect shrine for the genre of the composition hut.

These painted signs were recently exposed after the demolition of an old building in Downtown El Paso. The John T. Muir Building was built by Trost and Trost architects in 1916. It was originally a beautiful building but had been remodeled at some point. Our City council voted to demolish it because: "It is not on the historic register, It's a non-contributing historic building and it has been irreparably altered." Sad - but cool that these signs were exposed!
