  12. Horsecart painting, a folk art rooted in the Ottoman ornamentation tradition that once shaped regional visual culture, has largely been disappeared. In this article (in Turkish), I documented the life and work of Enver Ertaban, one of the last commercial painters in the city of Bursa, in an attempt to preserve the memory of this lost visual tradition.

  16. In Southern California the phrase "coffee shop" used to mean "diner", but now it means a place that you can lounge around in with espresso drinks. See e.g. the pictured sign: Jack's started up in 1933. Does anyone have any idea when this changed? I feel like it was sometime in the 90s but don't really know.

    I'm also curious how widespread this usage was (or is, if it's still used anywhere). Just Southern California? All of California? Elsewhere?

  18. Came across this on my old blog. It's from a small book put out by the Herb Lubalin Study Center, in 1993 - Lift and Separate, graphic design and the "vernacular"
    Sorry, I will need to dig out the book to credit the writer. But I too remember this feeling

  19. House in #Ierissos, Greece, with #architecture elements from the traditional, #vernacular style of #Macedonia:
    A protruding volume supported by inclined timber beams; two levels, with stone walls in the lower part and lighter materials above; wood shutters; windows decorated with wooden frame.
    Many such buildings can be seen in the old town of #Arnaia.
    However, Ierissos is a newer village, and the depicted house is recent, imitating the traditional style. #WindowFriday #FensterFreitag
