I'm starting up my store called Grayscale and I'm in need of a logo ;[ .. anyone know a logo designer?
this is the gresai (greyscale underpainting) for my oil painting class.
this was my first ever oil painting, and it was pretty successful! It's a very forgiving medium

Edited Hubble Space Telescope image of the galaxy NGC 5033 with (relatively) dark arms and a very bright core. Inverted grayscale variant.
Original caption: This Picture of the Week shows the unbarred spiral galaxy NGC 5033, located about 40 million light-years away in the constellation of Canes Venatici (The Hunting Dogs). The galaxy is similar in size to our own galaxy, the Milky Way, at just over 100 000 light-years across. Like in the Milky Way NGC 5033’s spiral arms are dotted with blue regions, indicating ongoing star formation. The blue patches house hot, young stars in the process of forming, while the older, cooler stars populating the galaxy’s centre cause it to appear redder in colour. In contrast to the Milky Way NGC 5033 is missing a central bar. Instead it has a bright and energetic core called an active galactic nucleus, which is powered by a supermassive black hole. This active nucleus gives it the classification of a Seyfert galaxy. Due to the ongoing activity the core of NGC 5033 shines bright across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. This released energy shows that the central black hole is currently devouring stars, dust and gas getting to close to it. As this matters falls onto the supermassive black hole, it radiates in many different wavelengths. While its relative proximity to Earth makes it an ideal target for professional astronomer to study its active nucleus in more detail, its big apparent size on the night sky and its brightness also makes it a beautiful target for amateur astronomers.
This image, from an episode of "Lou Dobbs" on CNN, represents factory grayscale of a typical consumer TV set - tube or LCD/Plasma. Blue is perceived as brighter, and marketing departments conspire with company engineers to ensure their TVs out-"blue" competitors' as much as possible. What frustrates me most is just how many people either don't notice this inaccuracy, or, just accept the image as it is out of the box. After a few days looking at the correct settings, chance are they will wonder how they ever tolerated the defaults for so long!

In 1925 the New York Central RR, the City of Buffalo, the Grade Crossing and Terminal Station Commission signed an agreement to allow Central Terminal to be built in its present location, 2-1/2 miles from the downtown business district. The architectural team of Fellheimer and Wagner were commissioned to design the building, and after having all the legalities settled, construction began on the new terminal in 1927. The City of Buffalo demolished nearby homes and rerouted streets. Peckham St and Lovejoy St(later renamed Paderewski St) were widened, and a new 100 foot long street was created along the old West Shore railroad tracks and named Lindbergh Drive (later renamed Memorial Drive). Curtiss Street was moved so that the terminal would straddle it like a bridge and it could serve as a way for services to enter the building such as mail and baggage. Construction of the 17 floor combination office and terminal building was completed in 1929. The Grand Opening of Central Terminal occured on the 22nd of June, 1929. Approximately 200 daily trains began using Central Terminal that midnight.
However, Central Terminal opened five months before the beginning of the Great Depression. From its opening date the Terminal did not make money.
World War Two saw some mild prosperity for BCT, never before had there been the amount of traffic generated by the war effort and because of its location, Buffalo was one of the largest rail centers in the world. However at the end of the war Central Terminal had a quieter atmosphere as fewer and fewer people crowded into its concourse to take the train. By 1949, the City of Buffalo got what it had always wanted; a downtown train station. As the 1950's came to a close, the New York Central Railroad was experiencing a drastic drop in profits. Realizing that they were over extended, the NYC began to sell off many of its assets. At that time Central Terminal was abandoned by its parent company because the costs in taxes and maintenance were too high. In August of 1959, Buffprop Enterprises signed a 25 year lease with the Central with the intention of converting the terminal into a shopping plaza and offices. The NYC held on to the train concourse for its remaining passenger trains, but it scaled down its ticket offices and baggage facility. The rest of the building began to shut down. In 1960, Buffprop defaulted on their lease and the NYC regained ownership of the terminal.
By the mid 1960's traffic at Central Terminal was down to only 22 trains a day. In 1966, the Central demolished the Pullman service center, ice house, and coach house to help save on taxes. The final blow came in 1968 when two of the biggest rivals in railroad history, the New York Central and the Pennsylvania, merged to form the Penn Central Corporation. In 1971, the Federal Government formed Amtrak as a way of securing what little passenger services remained in the country. Amtrak continued to use Central Terminal, but cut the service to only two trains daily to New York. In 1976, the bankruptcy of Penn Central forced the formation of Conrail which used the Terminal as its Buffalo headquarters. Amtrak discovered that Central Terminal was just too much for the amount of traffic that was coming in and out of the city. The building was finally sold in 1979 to Anthony Fidele for $75,000. Mr. Fedele planned on converting the Terminal into a hotel/recreation center, althought it never was.
By the 1980's Buffalo's east side, the home to Central Terminal since 1929, was becoming an area of decay and abandonment. People were now afraid to go out to the Terminal because it was becoming quite clear that the East side of Buffalo was not a safe place to be.
In the mid 1980's Conrail gave up its interest in the building and pulled out all of its operations. To make matters worse, a fire destroyed the mezzanine level where Conrail was located, and where Mr. Fedele's apartment was located. Mr. Fedele gave up ownership of the building in 1986, and several more private owners took over after that. But with no one to police the building, it became wide open to vandals and mother nature. By 1990, 75 percent of its interior had been pillaged. Artifacts were removed and sold at architectural auctions, memorabilia was stripped by curious railfans, and anything made of copper and brass was ripped out and sold for scrap. The roof of the building was destroyed when vandals pulled the copper flashing off thus letting in all the snow and rain. As the seasons changed, water would seep into cracks, freeze, and crack the brickwork of the building. Water began to pour into the building, bringing down ceilings and walls, buckling floors, and rusting metal. The mail and baggage area suffered the worst, every wall was leveled by the water. Down in the basement, a water main broke and flooded the entire section of the workshop and boiler room with 8 feet of water. Unable to get to the leak to fix it, the Water Department left it alone.
However, In 1997, the building was purchased by the Central Terminal Preservation Company , with a pledged to secure the building and stop the destruction that's being caused by the elements.
Edited Missile Defense Agency image of a target rocket launched from the Pacific Missile Range Facility in Hawaii. This rocket was later intercepted by a missile launched by the USS John Finn. Inverted grayscale variant.
Original caption: KAUAI, Hawaii (Oct. 26, 2018) A target missile is launched from the Pacific Missile Range Facility during Flight Test Standard Missile-45. USS John Finn (DDG 113) detected and tracked the target missile with its onboard AN/SPY-1 radar using the Aegis Baseline 9.C2 weapon system. Upon acquiring and tracking the target, the ship launched an SM-3 Block IIA guided missile which intercepted the target. (Missile Defense Agency photo)
Tigger sleeping on her favorite mat in the living room, enjoying the sunlight from our south-facing window, while Norio sleeps mostly under his bench (but still partially visible). This image also shows how well Tigger blends in to busy patterns - most mammals see in grayscale (or mostly grayscale) - for small animals such as cats, it helps to blend in well. So, clearly, Tigger evolved to sleep on busy-patterned mats.
