The Kravis Center for the Performing Arts (often referred to as the Kravis Center) is a not-for-profit, professional performing arts center in downtown West Palm Beach, Florida.
In 1978, the Palm Beach County Council of the Arts was created by Alexander W. Dreyfoos Jr. The council's goals focused on the development of local arts and sought to create a major performing arts center following the success of the Palm Beach Playhouse. In 1986, friends of Raymond F. Kravis raised a $5 million donation in his honor, beginning construction for the eventual 1992 opening. The donation, headed by Leonard Davis and Merrill Bank, grew to $10 million before 1992, and the two remain on the Center's committee.
The center was built on the former site of Connie Mack Field, spring training home of the Kansas City Athletics until 1962 when it was replaced by West Palm Beach Municipal Stadium.
The grand opening was held in September 1992, a gala that included performances and speeches from Burt Reynolds, Ella Fitzgerald, Lily Tomlin, and more.
Since the Kravis Center's twentieth year, the facilities include four venues - the 2,195-seat Alexander W. Dreyfoos Jr. Concert Hall, the 289-seat Rinker Playhouse, and the 170-seat Helen K. Persson Hall. Additionally, the Kravis Center's facilities include the Cohen Pavilion, housing the Weiner Banquet Center and the Gimelstob Ballroom, The Elmore Family Business Center for the Arts, and The Picower Foundation Arts Education Center, which includes Persson Hall and The Khoury Family Dance Rehearsal Hall.
In March 2016, the Kravis Center became the first performing arts center in the world to install a custom-designed digital organ. The project was funded by Alexander W. Dreyfoos.
To date, the Center has opened the door to the performing arts for more than 2 million school children as well as thousands of economically disadvantaged senior citizens, minorities, and community groups.
On March 26, 2018, the West Palm Beach City Commission approved plans for expanding the center to be completed in the summer of 2020.

Magazin à Poudre (Powder Magazine)
Old Fort Niagara
Youngstown, NY
November 21st, 2015
The Powder Magazine was built by the French in 1757. The walls are approximately 4 feet thick. Under the roof there was 6 feet of earth atop the thick stone ceiling. The Powder magazine was designed to be able to withstand a direct hit from an enemy mortar.

This kid I met in Punjab already harbors the praiseworthy dream of educating her community.
American Flamingo ~ Davie, Florida
A South Florida beauty, there are two parts to the chemistry that makes a flamingo pink; the carotenoids in the food that provide the pigments, and there are the specific enzymes produced by the species which utilize those pigments, providing its brilliant pink color.

300 N Fourth Avenue, Tucson, AZ Jun 24, 2012 — Goodwill Industries International has a number of great locations in Tucson. This building is a great sample of how the Southwest affects architecture. I have to say, if the Goodwill retail location looks this good, you know how great Tucson looks! It is no wonder that when I walk down this street about every tenth person has a camera hanging from their neck. Tucson and Photography go hand in hand!
Yes, the thrift stores are thriving in Tucson, and they are very much worth your time, if you are into that sort of thing. This neighborhood is similar to the Belmont area in Chicago, the Telegraph Hill area in Oakland, or a number of Bohemian style neighborhoods all around the world.
One tool I used in this photo which may not be used often by some is the Lens Correction filter in Adobe Photoshop to improve the photo. When I shot the photos I tried to balance the photos the best I could, but be real. When I shot this photo, I was standing in the middle of the street, and I had pedestrians to worry about, the golden hour was upon me, and I was running out of light very quickly. So once I was in photoshop I reassessed my composition and found that using the lens correction filter I could balance the photo better and compose the photo better. Now that‘s a win-win!
You might not have noticed, but flickr recently updated their maps. Yeah!

I imported and tagged the photo with Photo Mechanic. I used Adobe Lightroom for adding camera, lens, and color profiles with basic adjustments, and creating TIFFS. I used Photomatix to tone-map the five images into an HDR image. I spruced-up the image using the Topaz plug-ins: Denoise, Detail, Adjust, and Remask, then touched-up the image using Adobe Photoshop. I also used the poster edges filter and the lens correction filter in Photoshop.

Dance of the Flamingo ~ Davie, Florida
I'll try and describe what they're doing here; They bob and weave and do their little dance to show their dominance to the females...and to each other. Pretty sure these are the three biggest males. Anyway, it's fun to watch. They peck and carry on. They can't really hurt each other as they haven't any teeth and their curved bills are rounded and fairly blunt. Get their point across, though! Thanks for looking.

"You don't say... Is that right... she said what?" pelican pals ~ white pelican ~ Davie, Florida
These huge, spectacular looking white birds are seen in Florida between December and March. White pelicans spend the winter in Florida and along the Gulf coast, then fly north to nest in the mid-west and central Canada. In the mating season, male white pelicans develop a fibrous plate on the upper portion of their beak (pictured).
White pelicans have a wingspan of 9 feet. Males and females are similar in appearance. In flight they can be confused with wood storks or whooping cranes as all three birds have similar distinctive black wingtips that stand out against the all-white plumage. However, pelicans fly with their necks tucked in, unlike cranes and storks. In fall and spring large flocks of white pelicans can often be seen circling high above the central Gulf coast near Fort Myers and further north.
White pelicans are cooperative feeders. They do not plunge dive like the brown pelican, but rather, they use a coordinated feeding strategy and swim in a line or half circle, ‘herding’ fish towards the shore. Two groups of pelicans will sometimes ‘herd’ fish towards each other.

You've seen my photos of people feeding giraffes at Elmwood Park Zoo. The other zoo where I volunteer as a photographer is running a capital campaign to acquire giraffes. Guests can contribute by purchasing these pin-on buttons, sold in various parts of the campus. I took this photo in the "General Store" at Lehigh Valley Zoo.
