This house, built in 1890, was designed by Quincy architect Harvey Chatten. The Quincy landmark is an exuberant example of high-style Queen Anne, with complicated massing and a rich array of surfaces and details. The Neoclassical porch was added in 1900. Isaac Lesem was in the dry goods and clothing business and was noted as a civic and religious Leader.
Quincy, known as Illinois's "Gem City", is the seat of Adams County. Located on the Mississippi River, this west central Illinois community has a population just under 40,000 according to a 2019 estimate. During the 19th century, Quincy was a thriving transportation center as riverboats and rail service linked the city to many destinations west and along the river. The city has several local and national historic districts.

This futuristic architectural masterpiece was worth at least 100 shots for me (at least that is what it felt like) from every corner and every angle possible. All the lines, edges, curves, twists etc. were just perfect! From botton to top, left to right, vertical to horizontal, everything was possible with this photo motif.
In the future I am sure I will upload several more, this was just the beginning :)

Isn’t it great to find a favourite doll from childhood again… or at least something very close to it? My very first Sindy doll as a kid was the 1974 Lovely Lively Sindy, with the riveted shoulders, that wild polka-dotted jumpsuit in purple and pink with those elephant flares, and best of all, this very unique ‘whisky/chestnut’ hair colour which I never forgot. I had many other Sindys after her, but she was the one who stuck in my mind all these decades later. I was thrilled to find one like her recently, but again, she has the later 1975/76 body, with the simpler rubber-band strung arms. Here she is in between my other later Lovely Livelys, a brunette and an auburn-haired lass. I think her face is adorable, and her hair is actually a little more ‘chestnut brown’-ish than the dark golden blonde that it seems to look in photographs. She and her Auburn sis are wearing pieces from the 1977 Mix n’ Match collection, while brunette Sindy is in ‘High Style’, also from 1977. (As much as I love this new gal, I still hope to find my whisky-haired Lovely Lively Miss NRFB or MIB one day!)

Marble Lady
Oil painting on linen Plywood support SignedW x H (“) 30 x 36 Early Period
In his art, Jaisini insists on overcoming of the dehumanization and the suppression of sensuality.
In every historical period there are ideas and problems that are expressed but will not come to pass.
Jaisini seeks to identify this idea in the present, excavate it from the past, and invent it in a new way for the future.
In the murky, anxious world of ours, in the midst of the soul's confusions and multiplying moral losses, the artist seeks and always finds some big and small islands of eternal truths, and asserts the indestructible age-long parables that reveal these truths in the new light, in his own system of sign-images.
I realized that the more you look at "Gleitzeit" works and think, the more you see, feel, and understand—but never completely, as the works always have too many aspects for anyone to fully comprehend.
There is always some kind of "space" in the painting, in which the observer feels free, without a persistent prompting of the artist, to use his own system of perception.
To me, "Marble Lady" seems a late modern modification of the Greek myth of the sculptor Pygmalion, who used his illusionist skill to satisfy a private fantasy of the ideal woman.
Disappointed by the imperfections of the opposite sex, he created Galatea out of marble. During a festival in honor of Venus, Pygmalion prayed for a woman as perfect as his statue. Venus answered his prayer by bringing his statue to life and eliminating the boundary between reality and illusion.
In Jaisini's "Marble Lady," the object of the intense desire remains alluring, yet perpetually distant. Desire of the others is often imagined in terms of a fetish. So-called civilized man can be considered in light of his delight of the female form. In "Marble Lady," we find the two types of spectatorship: the masculine and the non-masculine. Therefore, an image of the woman is defined through the desire of spectators, the unmanly poet and the savage who may well be a subscriber to "Penis Power Quarterly."
The statue of Galatea was, and still is, the symbol of fictional perfection, a result of the search for an ideal woman that parallels the artist's own creative urge. A post-feminist culture has found a way to reinvent the woman as she once was: eager to appear attractive again.
"Marble Lady" enables male domination by being unreachable and desirable. The construction of such a female identity fiction can inspire both high and low natures. In all of his works, Jaisini unites the high and low principles, integrating art into the material life, breaking out of art's ivory tower. "Marble Lady" is a compact, pyramidal composition of the "trio."
As in all of his works, Jaisini subdues the figures to the articulation of line and its rhythmic connection between forms in space—a sort of analytical process based on the line swinging which inspires up ideas, shapes, and colors.
These line arabesques are the highly individual textures of Jaisini's art.
A decorative role of the painting's color is to illustrate the temperature contrast between the heated environment and the marble-cold statue.
In modern and postmodern times, there are increasingly fewer outlets for the sensual urges and desires that lay at the origin of human society that imposes restrictions. Sexuality remained beyond the scope of most art history.
Interaction between male and female is still responsible for the continued functioning of the universe.

This is my original edit for this Celica Supra's profile. Earlier in my photostream, I went with the sepia tone processing ("Supra Dupra"), with the storefronts still showing, to give a flavor for when and where the picture was taken. But I kept coming back to this edit - hence its appearance in my photostream.
I said it before and I'll say it again - this generation is probably my favorite Celica, though I do prefer the ST notchback *slightly* over the liftback.
