While down at the Airship salvage yard recently pocketing..I mean "collecting" relics from some old seized sky pirate craft, I noticed something was very different looking in the back lot. Rounding a heap of old Tesla generators, I stood in awe of the hulking behemoth before me. The writing on it's hull just barely visible, but still readable. "Slipstream II" This was one of the first true Intergalactic airships, and had been an engineering marvel in it's day. Of course I had to bring back a few odds and ends..ahem! This little wonder Was made by SpaceSeed Inc. (copper tag at top of light says so :) and came from one of the crew quarters. I say it was multitasking and space saving at it's finest! Every single crew member from officer to deckhand was required to help provide food along the journey, by utilizing these lights in their living quarters throughout the ship. Instead of taking up an entire section of the craft for the germination of vegetables and herbs, you would plant a couple seeds in fertile moist soil in the little metal cup that was cradled below the bulb, and the light and warmth would do the rest. Workers would come by from the hothouse with big carts full of fresh cups and collect the spouts every couple of days. From there, they would transplant the produce to larger growing containers, and the cycle would continue. Ingenious no?......
This steampunk hanging lamp was designed by me at River Otter Widget Studios, From it's patina to the copper tag for the Spaceseed logo, this functional seed germinator just needs soil seeds and water to do exactly that! I believe highly in art that can be used, It makes it more fun. Cup is removable (see pic) for watering sprouts

My uncle gave me this camera for my birthday after hearing about my recent ventures into the world of vintage cameras. The best part about it is that it takes amazing pictures - it's in great condition so there are no leaks to be seen!
Pictured with a 50mm f/3.5 lens.

The Eldridge Street Synagogue was built in the 1870's, but fell into severe disrepair. The top two stories were restored to it's original splendor. The ground floor (this) has not been restored and functions as a synagogue on Friday nights and Saturdays. The remaining congregation is only about 20 members. This is the Ark where the Torahs are kept.
The bima is the platform in the center of the room where the Torah is read. I learned that in Orthodox synagogues the bima is in the midst of the congregants, just as G-d appeared in the midst of his people.
