Mix and Match Las Vegas, Nevada 2012

The casinos in Vegas attract all sorts of different kinds of folks, although an unusually large number of them seem to be smokers who are quite welcome. I’m not sure why this guy was bothering to smoke outside Harrah’s as I didn’t see one casino in Vegas that was non-smoking–perhaps making them the last bastion of the smoking population. Perhaps the high percentage of smokers in the casinos was because people who think they can beat the odds and win in Vegas also believe they can win the smoking vs. lung cancer lottery.]]>

Gridlock #15 Las Vegas, Nevada 2012

Given all the huge hotels with thousands of rooms, I didn’t really take full advantage of all the opportunities there were in Las Vegas to add to my gridlock series but I did get a few. This particular shot happens to be a parking garage, for Harrah’s if I recall correctly.]]>

Palm and Pool Las Vegas, Nevada 2012

An abstract shot made up of a bit of a building facade, a palm tree trunk, and the edge of a swimming pool as seen from the hotel room  we were staying in up on the twenty-somethingth floor at the Rio Hotel and Casino. I just liked the combination of shapes and textures.]]>

Winnie’s Break Time Las Vegas, Nevada 2012

Winnie checking his messages on his smart phone while a member of the somewhat controversial Vegas Guardian Angels looks on. Like me, the Guardian Angel seems to be thinking there’s something just a bit disturbing about the headless Winnie.]]>

Zippy and the Fashion Queen Ecce Fine Art Gallery Bozeman, Montana 2012

Connie and I had a great time at the reception for my Opus Corvus exhibit at the Ecce Gallery at the Emerson Center for Arts and Culture last night. There was a lot going on at the Emerson Center last night besides my opening, a soup and bowl fundraiser for the Center, a new exhibit or two at the Tart Gallery on one side of the Ecce and the 20th anniversary celebration at the coop artists gallery on the other side. So we got to see a lot of friends and meet a number of new folks as well.]]>

A Loser at the Top of His Game Las Vegas, Nevada 2012

Everyone’s got to have a gimmick in Las Vegas, at least those soliciting money on the streets seem to. This Winnie the Pooh character and the corresponding Mickie and Minnie Mouse characters down the street were some of the funnier ones.]]>

Falls at Emerald Pool Zion National Park, Utah 2012

One last shot from Zion, this one with sort of an antique toning effect. Tomorrow, we’re going to Vegas baby!]]>

Finding Your Niche Zion National Park, Utah 2012

Compared to the amount of bare rock, there’s much much soil to grow in in Zion. But every little nook, cranny, and crack in the sandstone that can collect bits of matter and moisture seems to eventually serve as a home for some form of plant life.]]>

Shroom Rock Zion National Park, Utah 2012

I thought this rock looked like a gigantic puffball mushroom, with the black and white drips at the base serving as its stem.]]>

If you live in the Bozeman area, there are two opportunities coming up this week to see some of my photographs on display in downtown Bozeman. This morning I am hanging my Opus Corvus exhibit at the Ecce Fine Art Gallery in the Emerson Center for the Arts and Culture. There will be an opening reception Friday, April 13 from 5-8p.m. during the Emerson’s art walk. Also beginning Friday the 13th, an eclectic trio of some of my favorite photographs will be on view in the reception area at Touch of Sense Massage Therapy at 7 W. Main St. (second floor). There will be reception there on Friday 4-7p.m. as well, celebrating their grand opening.]]>
