Mummies of Ancient Eggypt: Rediscovering 6 Lives
From July 14 to October 26, the CaixaForum Madrid cultural space hostsed an exhibition made up of a collection of objects on loan from the British Museum in London, which explores the idea of mummification and analyzes the testimony of six people who lived in the Ancient Egypt.
This sample contains six mummies of people who lived between 900 and 150 BC. C. in Egypt. Thus, through a non-invasive investigation carried out with the most modern technology, the discoveries that have been achieved by the hand of these specimens are exhibited.
Through scientific and historical evidence, it is possible to observe what life was like in these lands, the tools and techniques used for mummification, the medicinal recipes with which they were cured, the diet of those people, cosmetics and adornments, music, cultural exchanges and even the role of women and children in the Egypt of the pharaohs.
Mummification became a common practice in ancient Egypt, believing that the body had to be preserved in order to reach the afterlife. For them death was just the beginning and this represented the separation between the body and the soul.
The first mummies are dated between 4000 and 3000 BC. C. and it is thought that this practice could have come from accidentally unearthing some corpses, which had dried due to the heat of the desert. By keeping much of their physical appearance, they tried to manually mimic this preservation. In this way, they dried the deceased by extracting the viscera from the body and then dehydrated them with natron and embalmed them.
This is another image from a recent visit to Cayuga, Ontario where lunch at the downtown Carolinian Cafe provided more than just a good meal. A number of interesting-looking patrons in combination with an interior well suited for black-and-white images as well as an unobtrusive little camera, made it possible to get photos unnoticed. Here a woman is checking out a refrigerated display case filled with representations of the meals on offer and a range of available beverages. A short wait and the gesture of peering into the lighted case resulted in this. - JW

I took this Photograph of a Whole Lot of Coca Cola Signs and Memorabilia in a Display Case at the World of Coca Cola Museum in Atlanta, Georgia.
DISCLAIMER: This Photograph was a Tough One to touch up in Photoshop Elements 10 because of the Reflections on the Glass Display Case and and numerous reflections from the Florescent Lights and Spot Lights in the Ceiling. I spent a few hours fixing the most of the reflects, but a few minor ones remain. Some of the remaining Reflections, such as the two Reverse Circular Coco Cola Logos in the center of the Photograph actually add to my Presentation.
Pharmacist John Stith Pemberton invented Coca Cola in 1886. The Coca Cola Museum fronts on a small park near the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel where we stayed during our visit to Atlanta. The World of Coca Cola Museum is located at 121 Baker Street NW, Atlanta, GA 30313.
In June 2018, my wife & I attended a Family Wedding at the Hilton Garden Inn, 275 Baker Street in Atlanta, Georgia. One end the hallway on the on the 13 Floor (they call it Floor PH) gave me a Great View of the CSX Tracks, while the other end of the hallway gave me a great view of the Skyview Ferris Wheel across the street from Centennial Olympic Park.
Since we were in Atlanta for several days, I had some time to visit the Coca Cola Museum, which was a short 2 blocks away from our Hotel.

After a bit of time spent in the Hamilton, Ontario farmers’ market just off Ottawa Street North, I went for a wander on Ottawa St North to see what had changed since my last visit. Walking along the West side of the street, I spotted a woman checking out antique (well, at least old) dolls in a display case inside an antique store. The multi-layer effect of the scene inside the store as well as the reflections through which I was shooting enticed me to capture this image. – JW

On April 20, 2019, I visited Mulberry, Florida in Bone Valley, which is part of the Phosphate Mining Region of Central Florida (aka: Polk, Hillsborough, Manatee and Hardee Counties) are/were all rich in Phosphate Ore.
First, I visited the Phosphate Museum, located at the Corner of State Road 37 (aka: S. Church Ave.) and SE 1st Street, one block South of State Road 60 (Canal Street). The Mailing Address is:

This Photograph shows a Camel Skull that was on Display inside the Phosphate Museum's Fossil Room.
The Pitt Rivers Museum behind the Oxford Museum of Natural History is three floors packed full of display cases of everything you could imagine. add in the ornate architecture and soft but colourful lighting in this dark hall and the place looks rather awesome!

I loved discovering the display of the history of the man who wrote the Wizard. I knew nothing of the catalogue of books, 14 in all, related to that story, that laid before me...
The wonderful old display case holding up the modern stereo equipment did its best to reflect the Country Store right back into the past from which it came. The days slip by so incredibly fast that the new becomes old and the old becomes new again. The sweet melancholy of time takes ages to truly appreciate.

Compact 35mm film camera in the style of the Olympus XA.
You can see the test photos from this camera at flic.kr/s/aHskk9HVuv
One of many shops selling Japanese knives - steel or stainless steel. Eventually chose two knives from Nakao Factory. A Santoku (general purpose) and a paring. The Santoku has 35 layers of lamination. Its beautiful and the price was over the top too. The Santoku has not yet cut anything, it only rests in its case looking pretty.
I loved the Boater and her Companions theme so much, I put them all on display in one of my oversized display cases on display in my doll room for a while.
I continue to post at least one image a day to see if I can get my flickr groove back. This is a display case (actually intended to display a basketball) that holds our recently acquired box for the Kodak Brownie No 2A camera along withe the 2A camera we have had for a long time. The manual for the camera sits beside the case and two postcards of children with Brownie camera are mounted at the back of the case. We have long wanted one of the Brownie boxes with a Palmer Cox illustration.
A tobacconist poses among his wares in a cigar store, date and location unknown. One interesting aspect of this photo is how many different packages and advertisements for tobacco products are visible (see close-up views of the counter and wall behind the proprietor and the display case in front of him).
Some of the tobacco posters, placards, and packaging visible behind the counter include items for Red Star Plain Scraps Chewing and Smoking Tobacco ("pure tobacco never harmed anyone"), Murad the Turkish Cigarette, Town Talk, American Navy, Helmar Cigarettes, Our Principal, Quaker Boy, Bold, and cigarette packs for Camel and Lucky Strike.
Gum and candy was available, too, with Beech-Nut Chewing Gum, Black Jack Chewing Gum, Schrafft's Chocolates, Hershey's candy bars, and Life Savers candies among those represented.
Cigar brands in the boxes on the top shelf of the display case include Muriel, Rose-O-Cuba, Lord Clinton, Our Principal Senior, Lord Romeo, Summons, Londres, Golden Belle, Let-Er-Rip, and O.K.
Among the tobacco products on the display case's bottom shelf are Sach's All-Right Plain Scrap, Red Man, Beech-Nut Chewing Tobacco, Master Workman Scrap, Tub Tobacco, and Picnic Twist.

Here is just a couple of Ian's Microscopes, on show in the lounge room. He has a few more all tucked away. I know one of them was made in Germany.
Part of the main hall in the Royal Opera House here in Stockholm. It has some really beautiful interiors and I was lucky to get to photograph them. Quite interesting lamps, yes?
Clearing a display case at the San Francisco Public Library after a Letterform Lecture in 2017. This is a Photo Typositor phototype reel from Type Films of Chicago (Castcaft) with 4–5 fonts, including Hopkins Wood, Homestead, Honda, Honey, and Horatio.
