Throwback Thursday and a photo from 2015 of wall art in our (rental) condo in Zihuantanejo Mexico; I've always loved their whimsical art (from Diego Rivera's life size murals in the National Palace in the capital to this take on marriage by an unknown artist).
Today is the start of a trio of well known celebrations: All Hallows Eve or Halloween, All Saints Day (Nov 1) and one of my favourites Dia de los Muertos (Nov 1-2).
And of course, these three days of celebration will be followed up by a US election...whew, that is a lot of action over the next few days. Be safe out there. :D
This week we are going back thirty-four years to RH 82 on Abbey Street at the terminus for route 37.
Route 37 initially operated between the city centre and Villa Park between 1950 and around 1984. It was then extended to Ashtown, and around 1990 it reached Carpenterstown. In 2010 it was modified to run from Baggot Street to Blanchardstown Road South, before reaching the Blanchardstown Centre the following year.
RH 82 was new to Dublin Bus in 1991. It was withdrawn in 2005 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom. It and RH 81 were delivered in the Wedding Bus livery as seen here. By 1998 it had been repainted into two-tone green livery.

It is a trip back to 1997 this week and a look at a test new livery for Dublin Bus. When it started in 1987 the company adopted a two-tone green livery with an orange stripe. Ijn 1996 when it made its first attempt at a new fleet livery it experimented with...two-tone green and an orange stripe. This experimental livery was applied to RH 86 and AD 24 and following the trial was not deemed a success and Dublin Bus ended up adopting a livery of blue/orange/cream. RH 86 is seen on O'Connell Street with an 11 from Kilmacud to Wadelai park. 03/03/1997

An early macro from the days when I was just starting to find my way in the land of tiny. I've re-processed the shot to match my current love affair with desaturated macros and find I'm much happier with it now.
It's always fun to go back a few years to see how styles change and what you used to do. I'm always shocked to see the improvements I've made with my photography because as each day passes it feels less and less like I'm improving.
I have to thank my contact Reggie Bishop for starting this set, it's been so refreshing and validating to compare the past to today.

This week we are going back thirteen years to 2012, and to RV 621 departing Blackrock with a service on route 17 to Dolphin's Barn.
Route 17 started running between Dolphin's Barn and Blackrock around 1971. Around 1982 its western terminus became Rialto. Until 1990, the Blackrock terminus was on Newton Avenue. It then moved to the railway station. In January 2016, Go-Ahead Ireland took over the operation of the route. The route ceased in November 2023 when Bus Connects brought in new orbital routes on the southside. Route 17 was partially replaced by route S6
RV 621 was new to Dublin Bus in 1999. It was withdrawn in November 2012.

Moving with his family from Oakland, CA Robert Spray settled in Tucson, AZ where he established a silkscreen shop. He began painting portraits as a student at McClymonds High School, which led to a scholarship at the CCAC. During the 1930s he was employed on the Federal Art Project. Screen printer Robert Spray beautifully captured Ted DeGrazia’s artistic style and color palette in this series of prints he produced for the DeGrazia Studios in the early 1950’s. Happy Throwback Thursday!
A very limited number of these unsigned and unnumbered screen prints are available for purchase in our gift shop at the Gallery in the Sun, $175.00 (unframed) or $250.00 (framed).
These two particular dolls really changed my perception of the Barbie brand. I was happy to see them readily available year after year until Raquelle was nowhere to be found in the US for the "Style" line only to be released elsewhere and to finally come back twice unfortunately with poorly printed eyes. She has yet to appear back with this gorgeous face. Ryan on the other hand had his sculpt completely redone and never returned. Mattel please bring them back... just the way they used to be!
Here's to hoping we get them in collectible sized heads in any upcoming lines whether it be "The Look" or not even in collectible size heads, just back in "Fashionistas." I would get excited just to see them back in some form be it a picture in the Barbiestyle Instagram account. What do you guys think? Which Raquelle and Ryan are your favorite releases?
Even though the 630 didn't spend much time on the CNO&TP during its career, it was still an amazing site to see Southern steam on the CNO&TP. Here train 957 gets back underway at Corinith, KY after a lube stop for 630.
A bunch of throwbacks of a few of my favorite people and myself back in late '00s to early '10s.
Found this collage video on my old cell while backing up deleted files. I didn't even remember this thing still existed LOL. The quality is a total garbage but it is nice to have documented memories of something that once was a big part of your life and made you happy. I just wish we had shot more of these stuff because those probably were the times when I had the most fun in my life. Also, I don't think I will ever be emotionally capable of loving anyone else more than I love these idiots and i can't imagine anything that will ever change that.
The music on the background is Drake Bell's - 'I found a way' from the Drake and Josh TV Show . I think it doesn't need any further explanation as to why.

This week we are going back eleven years to 2012 and RV 602 on route 15B. This Volvo Olympian bus was new to Dublin Bus in 1999. It was withdrawn in October 2012 (a month after this photograph was taken), and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
Route 15B started running between the city centre and Templeogue in 1952. In 1978 it reached Ballyroan, and in 2007 it was extended to Whitechurch. Since 2011 it has terminated on Stocking Avenue, and at that time the city terminus moved to the Grand Canal Dock area too. However, in 2021 it was cut back to Merrion Square.
The bus is seen exiting Church Lane onto College Green. The corridor from Dawson Street to College Green via Nassau Street, Suffolk Street and Church Lane was a major artery for cross-city bus routes for many decades. That ended in 2015, when Luas Cross-City works saw bus routes diverted away from Suffolk Street. Now no bus routes use Church Lane or Suffolk Street.

I ran across this original Monterey Pop Festival poster and had to share. Here was a line up of some of the hottest bands of their day and look at the ticket prices!!!!! Now days it's more like a $100 to see ONE band of this caliber!
Those were the days my friend.
Pomona CA Jack, taken during a 1994 visit. Jack's still there, but looks a bit newer. That's my Hertz Ford Aerostar too.
This is a Print scan of one of three Yamaha XS650s I owned/chopped back in the 80s.. Oh, and the dog was called Bonnie..... Yep, had a Bonneville as well....
DeGrazia remembered well the criticism he received in those early days from people who thought his art was no good. They did not like how DeGrazia followed his own rules in art. On one occasion, DeGrazia was sitting Rosita's Mexican restaurant (located next to his gallery) and a man walked in and shouted to him from across the room. He said," Hey! You DeGrazia?!" DeGrazia did not reply, and kept talking with his friend. The man, who obviously did not like DeGrazia, strode over to DeGrazia's table and interrupted him. He said to DeGrazia, "You're that guy who thinks you can paint on whatever you want, right? No rules, you just do whatever you want!" DeGrazia still did not say anything. There was a basket of tortillas on the table, so DeGrazia took one out and began to paint it. When he finished, he took his brush and he autographed the angry man's clean, white shirt. Before the man stormed out, cursing at DeGrazia, the only thing DeGrazia said to him was, "Now I have painted on everything." The man did not bother to take his original tortilla painting with him, so DeGrazia kept it and it is also on display at the Gallery In the Sun. Happy Throwback Thursday!
