Week Five – Communication

Week Five – Communication

Week Five  – Communication. This “old” phone graces the wall of our bar. I think it’s interesting that even though we are living in the most technologically advanced moment in human history, we are still drawn to the charm of the past. I don’t think any of us would want to trade our internet and smart phones for Pennsylvania 6-5000 and Millie the Operator, but the aesthetic is very pleasing.

 

Maybach

Day 160 – We went to the Classics and Chrome show today and got a chance to get close to this beauty. Built in Germany in 1939, this Maybach Special Roadster is one of only two ever made. Its top speed is 120 mph. The MM on the logo stands for “Maybach – Motorenbau”.

Day 113 – Pisanki is the Polish name for decorated Easter eggs. (Pisanka is singular).  I have several colorful ones, but this is the only one I have that is carved.

Day 108 – This drawing was found among my grandfather’s souvenirs and papers from WWII. He probably picked it up when he was in Hawaii or Japan.

Day 107 – I have this beautiful, delicate, purple carnival glass perfume holder that never gets enough use. So I decided to have a little fun in Lightroom with it.
