Art Heist?

On June 1, 2013 By Fred KingIn Thoughts, UncategorizedLeave a comment

I was at the salon this morning, where I have had a photo display for the past 6 weeks, and discovered that someone has taken this photo, without contacting me about payment. If, perchance, that person is reading this blog ( since they did take the display card with my email) I encourage you to contact me ASAP. Although it is flattering that someone would consider my work worthy of theft, I am not in a position to give away my art.

Just a quick update/reminder: My current photo display

Just a quick update/reminder: My current photo display will continue through June 14th at Capitol Hill Hair, 514 East 19th St. If you live in or near Seattle it might be worth the energy to check it out. One image sold early on and three more are ‘spoken for’ as of today. Apparently the patrons of the salon are taking the time to walk around and both look and comment on the images. Perhaps most importantly the employees ( whom have to work around the images all day ) have stated they enjoy looking at them.

Wednesday Update: Message from the salon on Tuesday passing along the good news that another print on display has been purchased.

Friday Update: Two more photos have sold!

Coney Island- Off Season

Coney Island, after the summer passes, can be a very cold and lonely place. My kind of place.

Green-Wood Cemetery: Part 3

From modest to ornate, headstones of all ages and types can be found at Green-Wood. Early Dutch settlers to Wall Street Barons. The pond is really a nice feature. I’ve visited the cemetery three times and have probably only covered 30% of the site.

Green-Wood Cemetery: Skylights for the Dead

On April 20, 2013 By Fred KingIn Architecture, Brooklyn, buildings, New York, Nikon D7000, Thoughts1 Comment

At the top of a hill in the cemetery there are rows of these Skylights for the crypts below. I’m not sure the dead are appreciating the extra light they are receiving, but……as with all burial places, they are probably more for the living than the deceased. I just found these rows of skylights fascinating and even peered down into the one with the broken glass. Design-wise I am not sure what period these skylights were placed there. Guessing early 20th Century…. but????? Green-Wood should be on everyone’s Bucket List.

A cruise on one of these will never be on my Bucket List*.

All Things Italian

Vespas and a Fiat, my fascination for Italian design lives on. All this post is missing is an espresso machine :-).

If this is the ‘Active Gate’ I would like to see the ‘Inactive Gate’.

I’ve Found It

I’ve been searching for the ‘unknown’ for quite some time. I found it last Fall on a bench in Brooklyn. Precisely, a bench on the Brooklyn Heights Promenade.

Perhaps.

DSC_8167-001 DSC_8173-001 Modernity, with people. I don’t recall the purpose of this building, but I’m not sure I care for the look. Maybe it does serve a function, other than looking like it is going to tip over?
