Guess who came to visit?

Thursday, April 30, 2009

Mike Young, of Airstream fame, popped by the gallery today.  See, he’d come up last week for a quick visit and a few prints.  One print couldn’t be completed the day he was here. No, I’m not a slow printer.  Mike had an odd sized canvas request and I had to order the stretcher bars [...]

The Firehouse Plaza in Prescott Arizona

Thursday, April 30, 2009

I talk about work regularly here.  And sure, I’ve posted some photos of the gallery interior.  You’ve even seen pictures of the HP Z3100. With all that said, I thought it would be nice to show you a little more of the Firehouse Plaza.  Pop by some time!  We’re at 220 W. Goodwin Street in [...]

If you’ve wondered why I think Scott Kelby rocks……

Tuesday, April 28, 2009

Wow, this site is turning back into an Airstream blog of sorts!  Fitting though since most posts are still written in an Airstream For full disclosure purposes you should know I’m blogging from the gallery today.  Busy morning, slow afternoon!

Sandblasted off roaders in Prescott Valley

Sunday, April 26, 2009

Yesterday I took a quick trip out to the Overland Journal’s expo at the fairgrounds outside of town.  The grounds are located on a very “open” stretch toward Prescott Valley.  I mean OPEN.  So, when the winds get going here, as they do each Spring, you’re in for an interesting time! The expo was pretty [...]

Is there such a thing as too much Photoshop?

Saturday, April 25, 2009

Apparently there is.  Hey, I don’t believe it, but I had an article forwarded to me the other day on the subject. The article was titled “Too Much Photoshop?  Judge for yourself.“  Apparently during a “Photo of the Year” contest in Denmark several photographers were asked to provide their RAW files to the judges, as [...]
