This weekend the Firehouse Plaza will be [...]

The Tuesday News Update from the Airstream Chronicles

Tuesday, February 23, 2010

Well, what’s the latest goings on in my world? Plenty. So, let’s get right to it!

Airstream News:  Our “false start” to Spring is over and the cold is back.  This morning I awoke to nearly frozen water lines for the first time in a while.  When the temperature drops below 20 my water [...]

Wrapping up on this weekend’s PMUG talk

Sunday, February 21, 2010

Saturday I stopped by the Prescott Library and got to meet some of the Prescott Mac Users Group. I think some members didn’t make it due to the inclement weather we experienced……
You know….Snow, rain, sleet, freezing temperatures.  Everything you think of when somebody says, “Arizona.”
Even with the bad weather we had a pretty good [...]

Setting Goals

Monday, February 15, 2010

For months now I’ve been driving by a small house in the downtown Prescott area that has my attention.  I keep thinking it would be a perfect size for the print reproduction business, the gallery, and have enough spare room for a small apartment….for me. 
We’re about half way through our lease at our [...]

What’s next in the Hometown Series?

Thursday, February 11, 2010

That’s the question that’s been on my mind recently. So far we’ve got two images in the “Everybody’s Hometown” series, and I set a goal for myself last year that 3 more images would be added to the set.
This morning I decided to toy with an image that’s been on my mind.  It’s definitely [...]

A Snowy Morning in the Granite Dells

Sunday, February 7, 2010

This morning I woke up at 4:00 a.m. Something was off. There were sounds on the Airstream. Odd sounds. Almost as if something was rubbing along the exterior walls of the Airstream…….
I sat in bed listening and wondering.  What could it be?  Javalinas rubbing on the trailer?  No.  A mountain lion [...]

Does Rich Still Take Pictures?

Saturday, January 30, 2010

For regular readers, you might be asking that question. I understand the question completely. It’s been a while, hasn’t it.
The simple answer is “Yes.” Taking photos is still fun, and I want to get out and do more. The truth of the matter……. I’ve been busy at the gallery, and [...]

A State of Emergency in Prescott?

Friday, January 22, 2010

As I recently noted, we’ve been getting the storm warnings since last week. Of course, the storm really arrived Wednesday, a few days late.
Now that it’s here it is doing some damage.  We’re not totally snowed in or anything.  Water is the problem, and it’s funny.  We need water, but if we get too [...]

You know that storm they’ve been talking about…..?

Thursday, January 21, 2010

Well, it finally arrived. Of course, we were hearing all week that it was going to storm for the whole week…..
Yesterday was a beautiful day with blue skies. Ian hid out at the gallery instead of doing masonry work…..the forecasters burned him pretty good.  No difference when it comes to weather reports, they [...]

Tsunami on the Square Fund Raiser

Thursday, January 21, 2010

Tsunami on the Square is one of those “favorite events” that I really think means something to Prescott. I remember my first year living here, and my impression of the town due to all the amazing events that go on during the warmer months. Quite a selection.
My personal favorites? The Blue Grass [...]
