Atomic Ranch celebrates the optimism of the Atomic Age. A time in post war America where the future was bright and architecture and design mirrored that optimism. The dream of owning your own post and beam style rancher and a Detroit automobile were well within reach. The space age signaled in a new era and the future never seamed so bright. Of course there was a constant threat of nuclear annihilation, but you could always excavate your yard to make way for a fall out shelter.
This was inspired by one of my favorite Mod style magazines; Atomic Ranch. A great resource for all your Mid-Century style needs.

“I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind...”

This picture belongs to the series shot in my street in Varanasi (Benaras) while four men were emptying plaster bags from a truck.
It was very dusty, although they reminded me “butoh” dancers performing with white-body makeup.
This japanese contemporary dance came after the second world war and among several things the choreography is a remembrance of the suffering of Hiroshima's atomic bomb.
It raises the question of how is it still possible to dance after such a thing and in some ways it is easy to compare this concept of art to those workers living in dust.

The A-Bomb Dome is the surviving part of a building that was close to the center of the first atomic bomb explosion on August 6, 1945. The building, which was designed by a Czech architect in 1915, had been used as the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall. It stands as the symbol of Hiroshima, the "Peace City".

I also took an evening photo of this building, which is at flic.kr/p/Hu7rbG

Well, here it is. My second and final entry into the 100th Lugnut's challenge
I picked No. 98 and my assignment was to build any bubble top car.
I was originally going to build The Homer but settled for something a little more exciting and more my speed.
And once again I had tons of fun building and photographing this beauty.
The majority of the building got finished in the last few days and as one usually does there best work when under pressure I'm pretty satisfied with the result.
There are a few areas that I would have liked to spend more time tackling but hey, you need to stop at some point.
Thanks once again Lugnuts for another super fun challenge!
Let me know what you think.

This is the Hiroshima Peace Memorial also known as the Atomic Bomb Dome (originally the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall). The atomic bomb explosion was almost directly overhead and as a result the building was able to retain its shape. The ruin of the hall serves as a memorial to the people who were killed in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945.

Another stormy summer afternoon in Sao Paulo. Reminds me an atomic mushroom.

The Flickr Lounge, Abstract - hmm, well you can tell what it is, but I'd like to think that I'm focussing on the essence of the object, which would thus qualify it for Abstract (I hope).

A vinegar valentine, circa 1950s. It's possible that Atomic Boy escaped his deflated circumstances to grow up to be an Atomic Big Shot.
Atomic Boy
At work you show a lot of zip!
You act like you're on fire!
But when you get home you collapse
Just like an old flat tire!
In this dome, you enter the museum by walking down in this spiral, going back in time, to the horror of august 9, 1945.

Also known as Hiroshima Peace memorial, this is one of the few buildings surviving the atomic blast. Standing 160m from the hypocenter it was destroyed in seconds.
Stands there to remind the world of the terrible consequences of atomic bombing.

Count Basie and Neil Heft's then modern take on 'big band' swing came out in 1959, the same year as the first intercontinental ballistic missile. The album's cover artwork of an atom bomb detonation (see below), played with the then modern zeitgeist, even if the record's music remained a polished and refined mix of unsplit musical atoms.
The effort of leaders, thinkers and populations to change these nuclear age missile attackers of mother-nature herself from the category of 'weapons' into the concept of 'deterrent' was considerable. Alongside the saving of the whale, the recalibration that formed via SALT agreements and post Soviet nuclear accords, and the march of the common sense of man, remain a witness of how mankind can redress and be wise - even when societies remain quite different. Tinkering with this calibration and returning nuclear 'deterrents' back into nuclear 'weapons', be it via mean-spirited 'play' or actual 'action', would respect neither man, his past or 'nature' and her complex moods. Tinkering would require a support structure of collective narcissistic madness and a token fool.

Press play and then 'L' and even f11. Escape and f11 a second time to return.
Sorry for the typo at the beginning, but you can't replace video on Flickr so it will have to stay. "Slanky" should read "Splanky", and thanks Art who also commented "I’m thinking it’s Frank Foster on tenor? Eddie Lockjaw Davis did other tenor solos on the album" :-)
