Bodie Old Car
Bodie is an original mining town from the late 1800’s. What’s left today stands in a state of “arrested decay” and is maintained by the California State Parks System, who took over the town in 1962 to make it a State Historic Park.

just a plain photo of an old MacBook Pro keyboard; that design still looks fancy as the first day it was bought.

picking out a few more old books from years back that are still on the shelves of my room back home at the parental mansion. These were very popular back in the day, basically prose adaptations of the original 1960s Star Trek episodes, adapted by noted SF author James Blish, each book usually collected several episodes into a series of short stories. Back before home video and multi channel TV surfing with its endless repeats of old shows this was one way for fans to experience old episodes. These days, of course, we could use view on demand or our box set of the whole show, but once upon a time these were how we got our fix and they were quite popular

This is an old Voigtländer binocular (6x24) that I found thrown away in the trash can of where I live. It's perfectly working and surely worth a lot.
An old gas station from 1940 is now a residence. Shallowford Road goes back to the old wagon trail era.
This is an old trunk which was owned by my great grandfather. W.P.T were his initials and the number 7 indicates that this was the 7th trunk in the series. I believe this was one of the trunks used when he came to the U.S. from Germany in the late 1920s. This sits in my office and I use it to store vinyl records.
its always fun to find old stuff that bring memories of things we have had.......when i saw this place i had to take a shot....
I found this beautiful old barn setting in the middle of a wine grape vineyard the other day on the outskirts of Lodi, California. You can see it has seen better days but it still stands and is being used.
If you like what you see PLEASE leave comments. Thank you for stopping by.
Window of an old house, I used a texture of an old song book from playingwithbrushes, and thought it really looked nice.
Most of the textures I use are my own, but there are a few brushes used here that I fall back on time and time again.
I use 'splatters' from Bittbox, probably the best tutorial blog out there, and full of amazing freebies. You can download the brushset here.
A good source for 'scratches and marks' brushes is misprintedtype.com. Eduardo Recife who runs it is an extremely talented artist, and it is well worth a visit.
This morning we took the Queen City Underground Tour in Over-The-Rhine, and walked up Vine Street to several sites. One of the stops was the old Kaufman Brewery at 1622 Vine Street, across from St. Francis Seraph Chruch.

From the mid-1800s until Prohibition in 1920, a big part of the community's social life centered around beer and its many beer gardens, and most of the beer was produced by dozens of breweries in Over-the-Rhine and the West End. At one point around 1870, there were 36 breweries in the neighborhood.
The former Kauffman Brewery in a pre-Civil War (1856) building now operates as the Guild Haus, and the above-ground industrial space has been converted into artist studios and apartment lofts. Guild Haus owner Chris Frutkin, who runs a real estate development business, said he hasn't figured out any commercial use for two levels of sub-basements, including tunnels beneath Hamer Street to another part of the complex. "When we bought the building, we had no idea it was down there. It was bricked up," Frutkin said. Then several years later, a real estate agent who'd sold the building in the '50s gave him some old drawings indicating subterranean rooms 40 feet below ground level.

John Kaufman, under the company name Kauffman and Company, constructed a new brewery on Vine Street in 1860. By 1861, the brewery produced approximately 1,000 barrels per year. Two years later, the company was renamed Kaufmann Brewery. Eight years after the renaming, the brewery was the fourth largest in the city, selling over $30,930 beer per year and producing up to 25,000 barrels per year.Kauffman was producing over 50,000 barrels per year by 1877, selling in many markets in the midwest, south and the southeast. Its main beers included "Gilt Edge Bohemian," "Pale Lager," "Columbia," and "Standard."
A popular slogan used by Kauffman repeatedly appealed to the sickly during the time, "A liquid food for the invalid a wholesome beverage for the healthy!"
In 1888 a new brewery structure was completed at 1622 Vine Street. The office and family residence was located at 1625 and 1627 Vine Street, although that was demolished in in 1922.
John Kauffman passed away in 1892 and his wife Marianne Eichenlaub Kauffman took over operations and became president. Brewery production peaked in 1894 when Kauffman produced 70,000 barrels of beer per year, and the malt house had a production capacity of 150,000 bushels of barley. The complex occupied approximately five acres in Over-the-Rhine.
The brewery closed in 1919 when Prohibition was enacted, and Kauffman never reopened after it was repealed in 1933.
