I just found out today that the two works I submitted for the Art’s Council of Kern’s show Food Glorious Food were not only accepted, but are on the poster and postcards for the show! That’s so cool! Excuse me while I’m excited for myself.
Ok, I’m not so excited that my name is nowhere on the poster, but one step at a time. The show benefits the Golden Empire Gleaners and attendees should bring food with them to donate.
The works are small, paint on canvas with images from vintage fruit crate labels. I’m particularly fond of these two little guys – I love the labels with goofy fruit guys – Mr. Apricot and Mr. Pear. In fact, I’m heading up to my top-secret location tomorrow to buy a new supply to work with.
Come to the opening reception next Friday. Luckily, I will be there. We go on Saturday to Santa Monica for my 45th high school reunion. Yes, I’m that old.
So anyhow, I put a link on my links box, upper left, to a very cool website, Digital Photography School. So many places to learn so much, but I like this one lots.
Check out this link to see not only some of my photos in the gallery, but to read about Saving Grace, the Bakersfield event to be held next Tuesday to benefit Ricky’s Retreat, a local AIDS home and hospice. They are raising funds to purchase the house on Grace Street that they have been renting for so many years.
This page was in the Bakersfield Californian last week. It’s a little hard to follow because they neglected to upload one of the images that is most talked about, and the other images are not in the order in which they are discussed. It is what it is.
Finally, the next six photos were posted on the Urban Photography website out of London. You’ve probably seem at least some of them before in my photo galleries.
Shopping for birds – or just finding an excuse to be together.
My favorite traffic photo of looming disaster.
A sidewalk market that would never pass inspection here.
Here’s that girl at the bus stop again. Slightly different look.
You’ve seen this one before but I love love love this photo. Look at the reflections of the peeps.
So have a great weekend everyone! Football tonight – Frontier High School’s very first home game, and our friend and Frontier coach Rich Cornford is gonna win! Tomorrow the top-secret location trip, and Sunday our very own personal Harvest Festival. My daughter is having families over who participate in our carpool for Abundant Harvest Organics. We’re all contributing a dish from our food in this week’s box. It’s fantastic food.
