Biography:
In the spring 2009 I became an “accidental birder”. I had never paid much attention to all the bird activity in my little San Francisco garden until my husband and I were pruning a camellia that should have been tended to in the fall. As we picked up debris to compost, we found a nest among the discarded branches, with four screaming nestlings, eyes still unopened. Panicked and crying, with gloved hands I carefully lifted the nest back into the bush. I held vigil to see if the parents would come back to feed them, they did not. My sadness at the loss of these babies caused me to start viewing things differently. I began looking carefully in my back yard.
Since the accident, at the end of every spring, I searched for nests left behind and began photographing them. I have worked with architects as an interior designer, and what struck me about these nests was their beauty and practicality. The choices of materials and varied construction methods are wondrous. Human architects strive for sustainability and environmentally-friendly construction, but birds have been masters of green design and building since before humans set foot on the continent.
I’m so inspired by the birds' design skills, I’ve begun to incorporate images of their nests into my artwork. Each year I look forward to seeing who will take up residence and what new work we can create together.
CCSF Photography and You:
The CCSF Photography Department has been an enormous catalyst to the re-invention of myself as a professional reemerging in the workforce during my middle years. In the early 90‘s I worked as an interior designer after earning a BA degree from LSU. I had the privilege to stop working outside the home and focus on raising my family. When I began to think about rejoining the workforce, I felt a little like Alice coming out of the rabbit hole into a new world of digital technology which was not accessible to students when I was in school. The photography program, faculty, curriculum and facilities at CCSF has helped me gain focus and create a plan to bring my existing skills back up to speed and build confidence and ability by gaining new skills with the medium of photography which has always been a passion. I have been a student in the department for two years, 2011-2013, and am so grateful for the patience and expertise of the faculty who meet students where they are, regardless of their history, age, talent or ethnicity. The Photography Department at CCSF is a genuine San Francisco institution.

When work commenced on York Minster's nave in 1291 the builders were worried by the weight of the stone vaulting and spanned the space with wood, creating, through pure practicality, one of the purest and most beautiful architectural features of any building in Britain.The widest Gothic nave in England, you are immediately struck, on entering the cathedral, by the sheer scale of your surroundings.

...small boot. The Ford Ecosport has a surprisingly small boot. But then the Ecosport is based on a Fiesta platform.
"As with passenger space, so with the boot, the EcoSport's capacity of 355 litres is only average – the Renault Captur offers 100 litres more than that (albeit only when you move the sliding rear seats all the way forward), while most competitors provide around 20 litres of extra space with their back seats in their normal position.
The 355-litre boot doesn’t place the EcoSport near the front of the pack on practicality either, beaten by the 400-litre capacity of the SEAT Arona – itself not the most cavernous in class.
It’s not only the size of the boot that lets the EcoSport down, though, as access to the load bay is hampered by the side-hinged rear door. This design just seems needlessly old-fashioned, when every other car in the class uses a more practical top-hinged hatch. Plus it’s hinged on the left-hand side, which obstructs loading if you’re parked with that side of the car next to a pavement."
The Postcard
A card published by Valentine & Sons Ltd. of Dundee and London bearing an early image of Clovelly.
The card was posted in Minehead on Thursday the 6th. August 1953 to an address in Princess Street, Knutsford, Cheshire.
What the recipient read on the back of the card was as follows:
"We were here yesterday but
couldn't have a ride on the
donkeys because the weight
limit is 7 stone.
Tomorrow we are off to the
Cheddar caves.
From
Hoppy, Uncle Dick and Frances".
Clovelly
Clovelly is a village in the Torridge district of Devon. It used to be a fishing village, and in 1901 had a population of 621. It consists of a cluster of wattle and daub cottages on the sides of a rocky cleft.
Clovelly's steep main street descends 400 feet (120 metres) to the pier, too steeply to allow wheeled traffic. This means that deliveries are generally made by sledge. This is not done as a tourist attraction, but as a matter of practicality.
The village is still privately owned, and has been associated with only three families for nearly 800 years.
Frankie Laine
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, the 6th. August 1953 was a quiet day for news, although the Number One song in the UK on that day was 'I Believe' sung by Frankie Laine.

During the Republic, men in power wanted their portraits to express the qualities they associated with leadership: experience, determination, practicality, and valor. Such an image tended to have a realistic appearance, with a direct gaze and heavily lined face.

Thought I'd share a little small town USA culture with you. After church we went to the "Don't Care Bar & Grill" for lunch. It's situated on main street in a little town about 25 miles southeast of us. My husband had a prime rib sandwich with cauliflower bites....can't speak for him but it sure looked yummy! My taco salad was wonderful too....and I love the practicality of rolls of paper towels on the tables for napkins......a feast for the eyes too....so much to look at! A few years ago the new manager tore off the old walls to uncover the original brick. There are fish hanging from the ceiling, guitars on the walls, and this lamp that's right out of "The Christmas Story." Oh....and yes.... that's a three-foot torpedo hanging over the bar!

Initially the B&O was powered by horses, but in 1829 the B&O experimented with its first steam engine - the Tom Thumb - whose maker wanted to convince the railroad to use steam engines.
In 1830 the Tom Tumb made its first run between Baltimore and Elicott Mill. The B&O chief engineer stated on that day:
" Today's experiment must, I think establish beyond a doubt the practicality of using locomotive steam power on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for the conveyance of passengers and goods at such speeds and with such safety as will be perfectly satisfactory to all parties concerned and with such economy as must be highly flattering to the interest of the company.”
A few weeks later the Tom Thumb became engaged in its famous race with a horse drawn carriage. And although the Tom Thumb eventually lost due to a broken belt, it proved the advantage of steam over the horse.

The front entryway of the abandoned St. Paul's Church. It was a German Evangelical church, founded in 1850 by northern Germans who spoke the Low German dialect. These northern Germans broke away from St. John's German Protestant Church because they felt that the southern Germans were trying to exert too much influence over the services. This building's design is a mixture of Greek Revival and Gothic. It never had a steeple, though at one point a clock sat on the top where the present-day cupola now sits. The abandoned drugstore on the lower level is not a modern-day intrusion; it was established when the church was founded to help provide financial security to the congregation and help pay off building costs. Good German practicality! This sits at 15th and Race Streets in Over-the-Rhine in Cincinnati. See the next photo in this set to see the German sign marker on the front.
"I have a real soft spot in my heart for Rodinas. They embody everything I like about Soviet industrial and design philosophy -- Ruggedness and practicality."
(Mark Gordon (Welcome to USSR Time!) July 9th, 2007 forums.watchuseek.com/f10/rodina-appreciation-thread-7271...)
"The Rodina was the Soviet Union's first automatic wristwatch.
It was produced at the First Moscow Watch Factory from 1956 through the early 1960s.
Depending on who you are talking to, the 22-jewel movement is designated 2415A or yH-9M (41yH)
Over about 15 years a huge quantity of these watches were produced, including export versions, with several different dial designs.
Eventually this movement was replaced by sleeker calibers such as the 29-jewel 2415 and 29-jewel 2416."

In 1969, British Leyland intended to upgrade the Mini to try and keep the style with the times, calling in once again Sir Alec Issigonis to design a compact and practical little car of the same lines. The idea was to give the car a front engine with front wheel drive and devote as much of the car's platform to passenger and luggage capacity. The car was also intended to be a hatchback for more practicality and would enter sales 5% cheaper than the current Mini of 1959.
The car was launched with a more angular design to fit the times, and powered by a new 9X 850cc engine and transmission. Hydrolastic suspension was considered, but changed instead to a more conventional front suspension with vertical struts and independent rear suspension with torsion bars.
The car, although providing more space internally than the original Mini, was unfortunately not forwarded by the British Leyland management, and thus only resulted in a single prototype. Unbeknownst to British Leyland, the car could have been a real winner, but instead the lucrative family hatchback market was swept out from underneath them by the likes of FIAT and Volkswagen.
This mask is The Turning Page motif, with one pin. There's a sort of Middle American practicality to the pins, and this example comes out of Ohio, which is pretty much Middle America. The photographer is either T.W. Mercer in Middleport, or T.W. Mercer & Son, in Racine. Don't know that I've ever been to either one of those burgs.
I have wanted a pith helmet since I was a little girl and watched Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy over and over and over. Because of old movies, the pith helmet was, to me as a kid, what explorers, archaeologists, paleontologists, and other adventurers wore. And Jane, in the Edgar Rice Burroughs's Tarzan novels. And Teddy Roosevelt.
The pith helmet is an adaptation of the native salakot headgear of the Philippines. Europeans loved its looks and practicality, adapting it for both military and civilian use. The Viet Minh of Vietnam adapted and adopted the pith helmet from the former French colonizer.

This is the historical story that I posted along with a photo of an Eva Zeisel Fine Stoneware from Monmouth coffee cup that I posted on Facebook during the crisis. This is one of 30+ coffee cups that I have already posted on my Facebook groups. You can see my other coffee cup posts on Instagram... ATOMICSCOTT.
Having coffee today with my favorite mid-century modern cup and saucer from my absolute favorite dinnerware designer… Eva Zeisel Fine Stoneware from Monmouth in the Pals pattern! The tablecloth is a Russel Wright design for Simtex. Today's history is longer than usual.
Of all Eva’s dinnerware lines, none better exemplified her design philosophy of linking the past and present, combining practicality with fun, or better displayed her virtuosity than Eva Zeisel Fine Stoneware from Monmouth. Consisting of fifty-one pieces, the line was organized into basic dinnerware, a kitchenware line, and a group of unique, bird-shaped serving pieces, all available in fifteen patterns and three solid glazes. It was easily her most comprehensive dinnerware line. Although many of the shapes and patterns were reminiscent of folk art, the line was sufficiently modern to earn a place in the Museum of Modern Art’s 1954 Good Design exhibit.
In the early 1950s, Monmouth, a division of the Western Stoneware Company, in Monmouth, Illinois, was experiencing a decline in orders because of increased foreign competition. In 1952, hoping to bolster sales, company president Addis Hull, whose brother headed Hull Pottery Company in Zanesville, Ohio (for which Eva had designed a small line of decorative wares) invited Eva to design a line of dinnerware and dining accessories.
Eva had never designed dinnerware made out of stoneware, but she brought new thinking to the design process. Stoneware was usually thick-walled and heavy, but Eva envisioned and developed elegant, informal pieces made out of unusually lighter and finer stoneware. It took Eva and the ceramic engineers at Monmouth over a year to develop the line, introducing new equipment and sharpening the company’s engineering to assure trouble-free production.
During development, Eva stayed at a local hotel with her room doubling as a design office. Within the family of dinnerware she developed, decidedly modern forms were unexpectedly grouped together with bird-like shapes… perhaps inspired by a family heirloom, folk art duck decoy that Eva kept in her home. Patterns were a delightful mix of modern and folk-art designs.
Eva seldom created patterns for her dinnerware lines, but Fine Stoneware was an exception. Gerald Gulotta, one of Eva’s Pratt Institute design students, traveled to Monmouth to collaborate with her to develop patterns. During the summer months, Eva’s children John and Jeannie stayed there and helped with patterns, too. There was much fun and experimentation during the process. Many of the patterns initially were created using a potato stamp method… later translated to rubber stamps for production. Playful and abstract, and a standout among the fifteen patterns, Eva described the dancing creatures in her Pals pattern as “turnip people!”
As was customary at Western Stoneware, Eva paid for the tooling and retained ownership of the dinnerware shapes and slip-cast molds, while the company retained rights to the patterns and production. Because she had a stake in Fine Stoneware’s success, Eva distributed the line through her own Eva Zeisel Associates.
Eva had put her heart and soul into the design of this dinnerware, and when it was introduced at trade shows and promoted in 1953, it met with high praise. Many department stores placed substantial orders and with the line in full production, success seemed to be eminent. However, because of continued problems with a downturn in orders for its other products, Western Stoneware laid off workers. As was customary with union labor rules, the youngest workers with the least seniority were the first to go. These were the workers who Eva had trained to decorate her Fine Stoneware dinnerware. Despite pleas from Eva and Western Stoneware, the union would not budge on its rules of who would be laid off. A strike ensued and the factory closed. By the time the factory reopened with new owners, the special kiln used to make Fine Stoneware had been destroyed in a fire.
Since Eva owned the rights to this line of dinnerware, she would make two more attempts to revive the line: in 1957 with Hollydale Pottery in California and again in 1964 with Nihon Koshitsu Toki Company in Japan (which I’ll show in tomorrow’s coffee cup post).
Modern with a link to folk traditions, beautiful and fun, Eva Zeisel Fine Stoneware from Monmouth was unique and comfortably familiar at the same time. It was the dinnerware that Eva kept in her kitchen cabinets and used in her own home.
Sheridan&Co were given the task to translate this premium Italian brand and create an appropriate retail site that would sit comfortably within a supermarket environment. The challenge was to strike a balance between showcasing a premium, consultation-based cosmetics brand and combine the practicalities of a self-select unit in a 24 hour supermarket. These images show what we created for their site located in Tesco’s, Dudley.

The brief for the design was to open up the spaces to give a larger, brighter feel to the room. It is a good size for a family house but was under utilised and had intrusive storage areas.
Mixing contemporary with family practicality was essential, as was the use of natural materials to give a dominant 'renovated' ambience. The use of cutting edge fitments and electronics adds to the enjoyment of the room and the infinitely variable lighting effects allows for a very relaxing showering/bathing experience.
Natural slate tiles in random pattern for the floor and square on the walls.
Plantation shutters over the window are visually very effective in a south facing aspect, from inside and out.
The cupboard in the far left corner hides one of the house's central heating boilers with a 'false' set of opening doors for access and maintenance.
Set in beneath the boiler is a recess that is tiled level with the plinth edges and has smoked mirrors on all three sides. This is lit by the LED rope and provides a display area and an illusion of infiniti.
The cupboard over the WC (WC out of view at end of bath) is used for safe storage of cleaning products and the vast amount of toilet paper required to keep the bathrooms stocked to cope with two teenaged sons.

Of course, if you think about it even for a second, the ship is all design and not at all practical. A rocket needs no wings, and particularly not wings such as these, which seem to owe more to paintings of birds or angels, than to aeronautical practicalities; and note that though both wings are flat, the one on the right appears to be a half-roll, though that is an optical illusion. Then too, the cluster of thrusters at the back are quite silly as a rocket design, since they divide the thrust unnecessarily, and the heat of any one of them would damage or destroy any other one. Nope, this is pure Buck Rogers design, though in defense of the artist, we could point out that rockets were not so familiar in 1936 as they would have been even a scant ten years later.
DENMARK: Aarhus light rail project promoter Aarhus Letbane revealed the final designs of Denmark’s first modern light rail vehicles on June 1.
The design brief aimed to create an easily-recognisable identity ‘with clear references to the Scandinavian design tradition of stylish minimalism and high functionality.’ The ‘timeless and comfortable yet functional’ styling is ‘designed to combine elegance with practicality’.
The line is expected to open in 2017, running 12 km through the city centre from Nørreport to Lisbjerg-Lystrup via the main university campus. It will connected at both ends to the Banedanmark network, allowing tram-train services to run from Nørreport through Aarhus H to Odder (26·5 km) and north to Hornslet and Grenaa (69 km).
A fleet of 26 Stadler Rail light rail vehicles of two types has been ordered. The urban services will be worked by 80 km/h Variobahn cars similar to those supplied to Bergen and Croydon, while the longer distance tram-train services will be operated using Tango cars similar to those operating in Lyon and Stuttgart, with a maximum speed of 100 km/h and a toilet.
The two types of LRV will have a strong family resemblance, despite the differences in size and configuration, and a custom front end has been developed for the Tango, similar to that of the Variobahn. The grey livery with ‘a twist of blue’ is inspired by the city’s proximity to the sea, while the red ‘does not merely infuse colour and character’, but also highlights the doors and handrails.
The air-conditioning system will be suitable for the Danish climate, wi-fi will be fitted and the LED lights will automatically adjust to match the daylight. The seats and Hallingdal upholstery have been selected by Kvadrat and AVPD.
‘We are proud of this design, which is the result of a thorough co-operation with architects, designers, the city architect of Aarhus and the supplier of the trains, Stadler Rail’, said Claus Rehfeld Moshøj, CEO of Aarhus Letbane. ‘We have also received valuable input from an advisory board consisting of elderly and disabled people. The joint effort has resulted in a design that offers a high level of comfort and good accessibility for all passengers, whether you are a child, an adult, a daily commuter or have a disability’.
‘In combination with the tasteful colour scheme and the extensive use of quality-materials, I think it is fair to say that the dual train system for Aarhus Letbane is one of the most elegant yet functional fleet of light rail trams Stadler has ever delivered’, said Stadler Pankow Managing Director Ulf Braker.

This attractively styled compact saloon is based on the Peugeot 301 (itself based on the 208 sub-compact). Although it was originally served only in markets such as Turkey, Algeria, and Poland, it eventually found its way to markets such as France and Spain that traditionally preferred hatchbacks over saloons. Although I do also prefer the practicality of the hatchback, the C-Elysée is attractive enough to warrant a second look.

DENMARK: Aarhus light rail project promoter Aarhus Letbane revealed the final designs of Denmark’s first modern light rail vehicles on June 1.
The design brief aimed to create an easily-recognisable identity ‘with clear references to the Scandinavian design tradition of stylish minimalism and high functionality.’ The ‘timeless and comfortable yet functional’ styling is ‘designed to combine elegance with practicality’.
The line is expected to open in 2017, running 12 km through the city centre from Nørreport to Lisbjerg-Lystrup via the main university campus. It will connected at both ends to the Banedanmark network, allowing tram-train services to run from Nørreport through Aarhus H to Odder (26·5 km) and north to Hornslet and Grenaa (69 km).
A fleet of 26 Stadler Rail light rail vehicles of two types has been ordered. The urban services will be worked by 80 km/h Variobahn cars similar to those supplied to Bergen and Croydon, while the longer distance tram-train services will be operated using Tango cars similar to those operating in Lyon and Stuttgart, with a maximum speed of 100 km/h and a toilet.
The two types of LRV will have a strong family resemblance, despite the differences in size and configuration, and a custom front end has been developed for the Tango, similar to that of the Variobahn. The grey livery with ‘a twist of blue’ is inspired by the city’s proximity to the sea, while the red ‘does not merely infuse colour and character’, but also highlights the doors and handrails.
The air-conditioning system will be suitable for the Danish climate, wi-fi will be fitted and the LED lights will automatically adjust to match the daylight. The seats and Hallingdal upholstery have been selected by Kvadrat and AVPD.
‘We are proud of this design, which is the result of a thorough co-operation with architects, designers, the city architect of Aarhus and the supplier of the trains, Stadler Rail’, said Claus Rehfeld Moshøj, CEO of Aarhus Letbane. ‘We have also received valuable input from an advisory board consisting of elderly and disabled people. The joint effort has resulted in a design that offers a high level of comfort and good accessibility for all passengers, whether you are a child, an adult, a daily commuter or have a disability’.
‘In combination with the tasteful colour scheme and the extensive use of quality-materials, I think it is fair to say that the dual train system for Aarhus Letbane is one of the most elegant yet functional fleet of light rail trams Stadler has ever delivered’, said Stadler Pankow Managing Director Ulf Braker.

Sheridan&Co were given the task to translate this premium Italian brand and create an appropriate retail site that would sit comfortably within a supermarket environment. The challenge was to strike a balance between showcasing a premium, consultation-based cosmetics brand and combine the practicalities of a self-select unit in a 24 hour supermarket. These images show what we created for their site located in Tesco’s, Dudley.

Hello everyone. Yesterday was a gray day, the sky was overcast and oppressive, but I went out into the garden to take some shoots with the iris, which soon wither. I have no peace with the font to choose for my signature, I cannot find in any way a good compromise between practicality and aesthetics. Also, I don't understand why my flickr buddy icon is gone and I cannot replace all.

Because even your “daddy wagon” deserves to look cool, right? 2017 Pirelli World Challenge champion Lawson Aschenbach doesn’t always get to drive fast sports cars. He also has a family and sometimes needs the practicality of his 2018 GMC Yukon, which he calls the “Daddy Wagon.” But at least his daddy wagon rolls on some cool rolling stock, thanks to 305/45R22 General Tire Grabber UHP tires and 22x10 Forgeline one piece forged monoblock VX1-Truck wheels finished in Transparent Smoke with custom “GTS Champion” center caps!

Taken through the gap in the vertical bars of the locked gate that greets you when you head down the stairs to view the crypt. In an inspired bit of income generation, the powers that be here have installed a meter that that needs to be fed with half a Euro every couple of minutes or so to keep the (very dim) lights on.

Well, it's been a while!
There's been far too much going on, not bad - just busy, but flickr has had to take a back seat, which isn't a bad thing every now and then. Anyway, I'm in Barcelona at the moment (again), so I offer a set of images from La Catedral, a vast soaring edifice in the old (medieval) city. The astute amongst you will notice that these are digital. No I haven't moved away from film, I'm still shooting it, plenty of it in fact, but the film shots are likely to be some time away because of the practicalities involved. So you'll just have to make do with nice conventional digi shots for now. (Although I am working on less conventional digi shots too! ;)
I know I owe loads of flickr/emails. I'm working on it.
Fill in the blanks.
ok, there are easier ways to fill in an online crossword but in the name of fun not practicality and if you are bored you can click on "add note" to complete. Good luck ...
Inspired by DT's post ... but don't look, that would be cheating
