A lovely paper light fixture in Pho Que Huong restaurant in Homewood, Alabama

Long Beach, CA

This is pretty much the pathological case for lens flare on my 50/1.4, I think. Pretty colors.

 

Thursdays are hard because I think it's cheating to just take pictures of Laura or Annie every Thursday, but that's the main thing I do after work.

By nosing around an unrenovated '21-tier apartment downstairs, I figured out where all my original wall light fixtures were located. They had long-ago been removed and the electric boxes patched-over and hidden. I have excavated one of them and luckily the wires are still live! But a local on/off switch is required. Is the switch I've rigged underneath this fixture too funky or unsightly? I don't think I mind it, but I am seeking other opinions. (The fixture I'm using is actually meant to be a porch light!)

The restoration of the historic Bass Mansion at the University of St. Francis is pretty much complete.

 

John Henry Bass, a key force in the growth of 19th century Fort Wayne, built Brookside as the centerpiece of his country estate on what is now Spring Street. After fire destroyed the first home, he rebuilt Brookside in 1903 as a steel-framed, sandstone-encased house. The founder of Bass Foundry decorated the mansion with intricate woodwork, fine artwork, valuable antiques and elegant furnishings.

 

The Sisters of Saint Francis of Perpetual Adoration bought the home and 65 acres south of Spring Street from the Bass family in 1944. They moved what was then Saint Francis College from Layfayette, Indiana to Fort Wayne. The mansion served as the college library until the university opened the Lee and Jim Vann Library in August 2006.

Old Seoul Station, built in 1900, had been lying abandoned and neglected ever since the shiny, big and new Seoul Station was built next door in 2004.

 

I'm so glad they are using it for art exhibitions now. Last week I went to the Seoul International Photography Festival there. I did spend a lot of time looking at the photos, but mostly I was mesmerized by the fancy old chandeliers. I hope they preserve these ornate light fixtures.

The Jellico Motel, just off I-75, Jellico, Tennessee. I haven't been able to determine exactly when it closed, but it appears to still have been in business in at least 2014.

The ceiling of the Prague State Opera.

Notice how the lights are incorporated into the canopy.

 

This place should be on the National Register.

In the back corner of an upstairs room. Very spooky but very cool.

This photograph is part of an on-going project, tentatively called "Mostly Context."

One of the last remaining original light fixtures in the old Gilchrists Department Store building - 1 Winter Street, Boston, MA. Now the headquarters of the state Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP).

These were $20 each at Home Depot. Kinda cheap looking but only thing I could find that was crystally that would work in a hallway. I love them.

Almost sold during the estate sale! We were lucky these fixtures remained at the property.

 

Lamp EJS Model 1204, 1959

Or, 'trying out the new lens.' This is our kitchen light, obviously upside-down. And it's in color, too.

This abstract photo is a large pendant light fixture that hangs in a staircase at the Museum of Art at Cheekwood Gardens in Nashville, TN. The pattern of the pendants reminds me of a sunflower.
