Doc’s Nose
This is a close-up of Doc’s nose. Doc is the name painted on the side of this historic aircraft; a vintage Boeing B-29 Superfortress. If you look closely, you can just barely see a painting of Doc, the character the plane is named for from Disney’s animated movie, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
This is an HDR image (three bracketed shots) that helped bring out the darker, interior of the aircraft. I find the intricate glass on the nose and metal frame a very cool design. I also like the way you can see reflections of people and surroundings in the polished stainless steel body of the aircraft. The polished metal surface and unique design elements highlight the historical significance of the airplane.
You can read about the history of this plane and the story of its restoration here: The B-29 Doc Story.

Take The Stairs
This is an old, metal stairway brightened by a light from above. The angles, the distressed ceiling and walls plus the light coming from the second floor as well as a small window just to the left give this image a lot of character.
I debated with myself for some time over whether to present this as you see here, in color, or to make it monochrome. I like both versions, but decided on the color version. I will likely share the B&W version at a future date.

Floral Fancy
The object isn’t to make art, it’s to be in that wonderful state which makes art inevitable.
― Robert Henri
I am often amazed at the wealth of creativity in our world. I am awed at how someone can create something useful, interesting, provocative, beautiful and captivating that never would have entered my mind were I given the same materials and opportunity.
This sculpture of metal and glass is an example. You may, or may not, find it appealing but you can’t deny the incredible creativity of the artist who created it.
I found and photographed this art in the hallway of a major software company. I added a little bit of shading and texture to the blue wall.
If you look closely, you can see my reflection in the colorful glass ball that rests at the center of the flower.
