Berenice Abbott
Born on July 17, 1898, in Springfield, Ohio, Berenice Abbott was a photographer who became famous for documenting the architectural landscape of New York City in the 1930s. An innovator of the straight or pure photography style, she was part of the West Coast Photographic Movement, a close-knit community of American photographers.
Early Years
The famous photographer was born Bernice Abbott and she was raised by her divorced mother in Springfield, Ohio. She briefly attended Ohio State University before moving to Greenwich Village. In 1921, she arrived in Paris to study sculpting with Emile Bourdelle.
Beginnings of a Career
Abbott was apprenticed to American expatriate Man Ray’s photography studio in Paris. Soon after, she opened a successful portrait studio where she took photos of various intellectuals and artists living in the late 1920s in Paris, including French photographer Eugene Atget, Irish writer James Joyce, and French novelist Jean Cocteau.
She was introduced to Eugene Atget’s works by Man Ray in 1925 and utterly impressed by his photographs, she decided to promote the late French photographer in her native country. In 1929, she returned to New York in order to find a publisher for Atget’s work and she was captivated by the technological and social progress experienced by the city.
She captured the city’s rapidly changing urban design using initially a hand-held Kurt-Bentzin camera. Later she acquired the large format Century Universal camera which she used for her famous “Changing New York” project, on which she worked independently for nearly six years. In 1933, she began teaching photography at the New School of Social Research, where she worked until 1958.

This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Innovative. The Ford Thunderbird was an Innovative car in another time not all that long ago. HMMM!
Seen in the Castilian city of Segovia, Spain. I thought it was very innovative to be able to set up tables outside after all, even if the "ground conditions" don't really allow it :-).

Managed to catch the 1995-built "Cable Innovator" on a beautiful day. One of the largest cable ships today.
built by students at Pomona College. There are several rooms and no corners in the house. Lighting is through multi-colored glass windows embedded in the walls and ceilings.
Two years ago Stanley came to live with us and he settled in like he'd always been with us. He's a very happy dog and doesn't let only having 3 legs stop him from doing what he wants, he lives life to the full. He's also quite an innovator when it comes to canine fashion :D HBW!

SAMSKIP INNOVATOR (IMO: 9436214) is a Container Ship and is sailing under the flag of Cyprus. Her length overall (LOA) is 140.61 meters and her width is 22.02 meters.
Today we were asked to take a minimal photo and use interesting backgrounds and filters to innovate it. I turned a banana peel into "a work of art". ;)
The World's Largest Elkhorn Arch (Afton, WY) contains over 3,000 elk antlers. The arch is 75 feet wide, and 18 feet above the four lanes of Highway 89 in downtown (on our way to Grand Tetons NP). An informative sign on one end claims: "To duplicate this arch at today's prices the cost would be over $300,000 for the antlers alone." There's also a free spring water dispenser next to the Afton arch -- a bonus for the thirsty Elkhorn Arch snapshot collector.
The arch was built in 1958, weighs 15 tons, and antlers continue to be added. This doesn't appear to be a hunter's trophy, but likely the antlers were shed naturally each season.
Jackson, WY continues the tradition with several antler arches of their own, but none as impressive as this one.
A new connection between Cambridge and outlying villages. This looks toward the new Medical Research Council building.

London is the capital and largest city of both England and the United Kingdom. Standing on the River Thames in the south-east of England, at the head of its 50-mile (80 km) estuary leading to the North Sea, London has been a major settlement for two millennia. Londinium was founded by the Romans. The City of London, London's ancient core − an area of just 1.12 square miles (2.9 km2) and colloquially known as the Square Mile − retains boundaries that follow closely its medieval limits. The City of Westminster is also an Inner London borough holding city status. Greater London is governed by the Mayor of London and the London Assembly.
London is considered to be one of the world's most important global cities and has been termed the world's most powerful, most desirable, most influential, most visited, most expensive, innovative, sustainable, most investment friendly, most popular for work, and the most vegetarian friendly city in the world. London exerts a considerable impact upon the arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media, professional services, research and development, tourism and transportation. London ranks 26 out of 300 major cities for economic performance. It is one of the largest financial centres and has either the fifth or sixth largest metropolitan area GDP. It is the most-visited city as measured by international arrivals and has the busiest city airport system as measured by passenger traffic. It is the leading investment destination, hosting more international retailers and ultra high-net-worth individuals than any other city. London's universities form the largest concentration of higher education institutes in Europe. In 2012, London became the first city to have hosted three modern Summer Olympic Games.
London has a diverse range of people and cultures, and more than 300 languages are spoken in the region. Its estimated mid-2016 municipal population (corresponding to Greater London) was 8,787,892, the most populous of any city in the European Union and accounting for 13.4% of the UK population. London's urban area is the second most populous in the EU, after Paris, with 9,787,426 inhabitants at the 2011 census. The population within the London commuter belt is the most populous in the EU with 14,040,163 inhabitants in 2016. London was the world's most populous city from c. 1831 to 1925.
London contains four World Heritage Sites: the Tower of London; Kew Gardens; the site comprising the Palace of Westminster, Westminster Abbey, and St Margaret's Church; and the historic settlement in Greenwich where the Royal Observatory, Greenwich defines the Prime Meridian, 0° longitude, and Greenwich Mean Time. Other landmarks include Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, Piccadilly Circus, St Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square and The Shard. London has numerous museums, galleries, libraries and sporting events. These include the British Museum, National Gallery, Natural History Museum, Tate Modern, British Library and West End theatres. The London Underground is the oldest underground railway network in the world.

The London Underground (also known simply as the Underground, or by its nickname the Tube) is a public rapid transit system serving London, England and some parts of the adjacent counties of Buckinghamshire, Essex and Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom.
The Underground has its origins in the Metropolitan Railway, the world's first underground passenger railway. Opened in January 1863, it is now part of the Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines; the first line to operate underground electric traction trains, the City & South London Railway in 1890, is now part of the Northern line. The network has expanded to 11 lines, and in 2017/18 carried 1.357 billion passengers, making it the world's 11th busiest metro system. The 11 lines collectively handle up to 5 million passengers a day.
The system's first tunnels were built just below the surface, using the cut-and-cover method; later, smaller, roughly circular tunnels—which gave rise to its nickname, the Tube—were dug through at a deeper level. The system has 270 stations and 250 miles (400 km) of track. Despite its name, only 45% of the system is underground in tunnels, with much of the network in the outer environs of London being on the surface. In addition, the Underground does not cover most southern parts of Greater London, with fewer than 10% of the stations located south of the River Thames.
The early tube lines, originally owned by several private companies, were brought together under the "UndergrounD" brand in the early 20th century and eventually merged along with the sub-surface lines and bus services in 1933 to form London Transport under the control of the London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB). The current operator, London Underground Limited (LUL), is a wholly owned subsidiary of Transport for London (TfL), the statutory corporation responsible for the transport network in Greater London. As of 2015, 92% of operational expenditure is covered by passenger fares. The Travelcard ticket was introduced in 1983 and Oyster, a contactless ticketing system, in 2003. Contactless card payments were introduced in 2014, the first public transport system in the world to do so.
The LPTB was a prominent patron of art and design, commissioning many new station buildings, posters and public artworks in a modernist style. The schematic Tube map, designed by Harry Beck in 1931, was voted a national design icon in 2006 and now includes other TfL transport systems such as the Docklands Light Railway, London Overground, Crossrail (which is officially called Elizabeth Line) and Tramlink. Other famous London Underground branding includes the roundel and Johnston typeface, created by Edward Johnston in 1916.
