The Alfred I. DuPont Building is a historic building in Miami, Florida. It is located at 169 East Flagler Street. Started in 1937 and completed in 1939, it is a 17-story rectangular building in the Modern style with Art Deco embellishments. It was the first skyscraper built after the County courthouse and the bust of 1928. Thus, it represents Miami's emergence from the great depression. It replaced the Halcyon Hotel on this site. On January 4, 1989, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
Alfred I. DuPont was the owner of the Florida National Bank, the principal tenant of the building. Major tenants in 2023 are Bench jewelers who use a combination of skills to make and repair jewelry. Some of the more common skills that a bench jeweler might employ include antique restoration, silversmithing, goldsmithing, stone setting, engraving, fabrication, wax carving, lost-wax casting, electroplating, forging, & polishing, manufactures & wholesale watches for Rolex & Richard Mille. The other major building in Miami is the Seybold Building for jewelry, diamonds and fine watches.

Lenny sits in the waiting room, awkwardly waiting to be called in. According to Paul, this bank will give out loans to any crazy business idea. All you need is a good suit and a tie to the criminal underworld and you’re set. After an insufferable wait, the mousy looking receptionist shouts out.
The Mousy looking receptionist (shouting out): Leonard Fiascone?
Lenny works into the office, making sure to give the receptionist a mean look for misreading his name, to which she promptly throws up her middle finger. As Lenny enters the office, he is greeted by a skinny, nervous looking man, dressed in a gaudy green suit covered in one-dollar bills.
Banker: “…hello. Don’t sit down yet!”
With urgency he gets out of his seat and places a piece of tissue paper over the seat, before rushing back to his seat and applying hand sanitizer to his… what do you think?
Banker: “You may take a seat now Mr… Fiascone? My name is Joe Coyne, but I demand that you call me Mr Coyne”
Lenny: “Hello joe!”
The banker shakes his head in annoyance, as Lenny realises his awesome suit may not be enough to make a good impression on the guy.
Joe Coyne: “If you… expel gas, I’ll replace your tissue… and burn it.”
Lenny takes a seat, and pulls out a set of folders, handing it to the banker, who has put on latex gloves in preparation.
Lenny: “I see you’re a bit of a clean freak?”
Lenny’s lousy attempt at small talk causes the banker to cease reading Lenny’s file, as he instead begins to rant at him
Joe Coyne: “Are you trivialising my never-ending war on the microbe? I tell you this Mr Fiascone, do you think I have gotten this far in life by being a slobbish oath who never bathes!”
His already whiny voice grows into a shrill scream.
Banker: “What have you done with your life, huh? I have become the leading banker at this establishment, haven’t suffered a cold since kindergarten and own the largest antique penny collection in Gotham, New Jersey, AND IF YOU THINK THAT PENNY COLLECTING ISNT A NORMAL THING TO DO, THEN WHY DON’T YOU JUST GO AND THINK THAT WITH MY MOTHER AND… Lorna!
He begins to break down and cry.
Banker: “Oh God, Lorna, why did you leave! *Sobs* Was it the Penny’s that caused you to leave… WAS IT?”
As the Banker sobs to the heavens, Lenny leans towards the door and addresses the receptionist.
Lenny: “Miss, my guy’s broken, can you get me a new one?”
1 Hour Later…
After convincing him not to burn his penny collection in effigy inside the yoghurt fridge, Coyne eventually leaves, though not before spouting some frankly hurtful things about Lenny’s mother. As a result, Lenny is left once again waiting for a banker to see him, as the receptionist not-so-subtly eats a packet of potato chips, while Lenny is left having had no lunch yet. After a while of waiting, the receptionist, who had previously been making a personal call to her friend Margarite (who from what Lenny could tell is thinking of leaving her boyfriend Sal (listening was the only thing keeping Lenny sane)), tells Lenny to finally enter the office again. This time he does not wait to be asked to sit down, instead plopping his ass straight down on the seat. As for the banker… he’s fat, all other points are eclipsed by that single trait. The banker laughs at Lenny’s ‘rudeness’.
Banker #2: “eh, I see you’re tired after Coyne’s meltdown. Poor bastard, it happens all the time. The divorce was his fault anyway.”
He’s Australian… this takes Lenny’s interest for no apparent reason.
Lenny: “How was it his fault?”
Banker #2: “It was his fault for being such a miserable dullard, it’s a miracle it took her so long to cheat!”
Lenny is taken aback by the stark contrast between the two bankers, the snivelly germaphobe replaced with the human personification of a boiler explosion waiting to happen. He is almost as disgusting as Paul… almost.
Banker #2: “The name’s Silversmith, Sterling Silversmith, but my friends call me Admiral Love Handles! I don’t know why, I am the picture of fitness!”
There is an awkward pause as Lenny thinks of an appropriate response. Lenny once had to get eleven stitches after he called Captain Bullock ‘bloopy’.
Silversmith: “Only Joking, I know I’m a fat f***. So, what’s your business?
Lenny attempts to pull out his folder, only to remember that Coyne flushed them down the toilet in an act of ritualistic sacrifice.
Lenny: “My files were… rendered unusable by Coyne.”
Silversmith burps, causing Lenny to briefly feel as though he is going blind.
Silversmith: “it’s a’ight, I’ll guess based off experience… I am thinking… a brothel?”
Lenny: “God, no!”
Silversmith: “a star trek themed sex dungeon?”
Lenny: “Who the hell do you get here? No!”
Silversmith: “A store selling Japanese…?”
Lenny: “I’m gonna stop you there! I’m starting a business where I clean up evidence for criminals for a 20% cut!”
Silversmith looks at Lenny, perplexed.
Silversmith: “Hmmmm, I like it, its clever… but where’s the sexiness, where’s the, y’know… sexiness?”
Lenny thinks for a moment. If he is to get the loan, he will need to appeal to the perverted banker’s mind.
Lenny: “…I’ll get a hot model on my advertisement, is that enough?”
Silversmith: “Soft-core, but it’ll do! $4000, but I’ll give you double if it is an amputee!”
Lenny takes a moment to consider the proposal.
Lenny: “Eh… I’ll stick to the $4000.”
The two shake hands, as silversmith gives Lenny a literal sack full of money with a dollar sign on it (this bank is blunt as f***). Lenny leaves the office, ready to take on the next phase of his plan, The Secret Underground, while Silversmith (AKA Heart attack warning) continues to read his… “educational magazines”.

A member of the 1st SS-Standarte and members of the NSBO are seen in this photo with the Altes Rathaus in the background.
The 1st SS-Standarte was a regimental command of the Allgemeine-SS and one of the most important units in the General-SS order of battle. The unit was formed on 1 August 1928. It was reorganized from previous Schutzstaffel (SS) units, known as SS-Gaus. Based in Munich, the 1st SS Standarte was charged with protection of top NSDAP leaders, including Adolf Hitler.
A view of the silversmith Carl Weishaupt can also be seen to the right and this building, Marienplatz No. 29, was badly damaged by an air raid and demolished in 1945.
When photographing a baseball pitcher, I like to get in front of them and just to the side of Home Plate. In the local fields, it means I am shooting through some sort of fencing. I get as close as I can with a fairly wide open aperture to focus out the fence. It works fairly well.

Old Town is small enough to get around on foot, and being laid out in a grid format it is relatively easy to navigate. The major landmarks are the South and North Gates with Fuxing Rd , a pedestrian street running between them, and Huguo Road (Yangren St or Foreigner St) lined with cafés and tourist shops.

The photo has a "painterly" look, but it's natural -- the only artistic Photoshop filters I used were to introduce some blur and soften the focus (along with the usual dodging, burning, color correction, etc.).
You know the Britons, always so elaborate when it comes to traditions. British silverware and jewels can have a suite of marks, often commonly called a hallmark. From left to right:
1) G&S CO LTD. This is the sponsor's mark, essentially the maker's mark. G&S Co. Ltd. was the Goldsmiths and Silversmiths Co., one of the most upscale silverware and jewels makers. It was merged into Garrard & Co in 1952.
2) Lion passant: The left-facing lion passant mark is the sterling silver mark (925/1000 fineness) of ware made in England. This kind of mark is called a fineness or standard mark. It indicates the fineness of silver/ gold/ platinum of the item.
3) Leopard's head mark: This is the assay office mark. The leopard's head indicates this piece was tested and assayed at the London Assay office by the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths.
4) h mark: This is a date (year) mark used in British silverware. Each letter, stylised differently each year, indicates the year that the piece was made. This particular stylised h indicates this silver table ornament was made in 1923.

I bought this via eBay a few years ago. A sterling silver inkwell/ trinket box that was made to commemorate the 1924 British Empire Exhibition held in Wembley near London. The desk ornament was made by the Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Co. Ltd. of 112 Regent Street, London W1.
The British Empire Exhibition wasn't nearly as successful or phenomenal as the 1851 Great Exhibition. Of course, by 1924, the British Empire was on its way down and out. While Great Britain did survive World War I (unlike the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Empire, the German Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire), its worldwide influence was rapidly being replaced by the United States.
In any case, those of you who are Downton Abbey fans might recall that Mr. (Septimus) Spratt, the ever so proper and uptight butler to Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham, made reference to the British Empire Exhibition when he was carefully putting away his British Empire Exhibition commemorative postage stamps.

She said I could take her picture if I sent her a copy. I just popped it in the mail. My last Edward Curtis wannabe.

Gill studied silversmithing at the Grennan Mill Craft School in Kilkenny and went on to study at the Regional Technical College, Letterkenny; the University of Ulster, Belfast and the National College of Art and Design, Dublin.
Today I experimented with a Sigma 180mm lens mounted on a Sony A7RM2 body using a Metabones adaptor.
This combination does not work in Auto-Focus mode so I had to use manual focusing and this was not easy and it certainly would have been impossible without focus peaking [a feature that I have never properly employed before]. In case you are unaware focus peaking is a tool to assist you while manual focusing. It highlights the areas that are in focus so you are able to quickly focus the camera and not miss crucial shots. However, focus peaking is not as easy as it sounds because it shows you what's sharp on the viewfinder screen, not what's sharp in the actual image. Since the screen or viewfinder has a much lower resolution than the actual camera sensor areas that are highlighted as being sharp in the viewfinder can be very much out of focus in the image you actually capture.
