A couple of months ago, I finally 'got my shot' and managed to take a few photos of the iconic Kentile Floors sign in Brooklyn, NY. Little did I know that it would be coming down soon after. It's been a symbol of the Brooklyn skyline for the last 50 years. Technically the sign is located in Gowanus, but it can be seen from the F & G above ground train tracks, the BQE (expressway) and rooftops all around the area. Last week, while driving on the expressway I noticed scaffolding and netting on it and my first thought was that it was being repaired. The sad truth is that it's being taken apart because the owners of the building no longer want it on their premises. The K and E have already been taken down and the rest will follow shortly. A lights art show tribute was planned for last night, but they didn't even wait for that to take place. I'm bewildered that this landmark would be removed, but thankfully it's not being destroyed. It's being preserved by local art group The Gowanus Alliance and will be rebuilt/relocated. Perhaps we have not seen the last of this icon, although it will not be the same without the downtown Brooklyn skyline as its backdrop. As I say goodby to Spring and hello to Summer, I bid farewell to the Kentile Floors sign.

I was so happy to find one of my photos used in a brochure. Most of the time, when a stock photo is downloaded you never know where it will end up. Panamanian Molas are exquisitely handcrafted by members of the Kuna people of Panama. The designs, usually depicting animals, nature or abstract patterns are painstakingly stitched by hand. Molas are highly coveted by both tourists and locals and traditionally presented as framed art, but have now become popular on everything from handbags, to glasses cases, clothing and home decor. In this case the colorful Mola pattern in my photo was used as part of the art for a travel excursion brochure to Panama, Colombia and Costa Rica. Here are a few screenshots of the pamphlet and the original shot. Have you ever been to Panama, Costa Rica or Colombia? If you have, what was your favorite part of the trip?
