Uptown, Downtown Grenada, Nicaragua 2013

Typical street traffic near the center of Granada. I can kind of relate to the differences in  dress among the young ladies in the photo. Usually when the Fashion Queen and I go out, she’ll be dressed more like the woman on the curb while I’m a good match for the jeans and t-shirt crowd in the gutter.]]>

Mixed Signals Grenada, Nicaragua 2013

Her outfit suggests a hot night on the town but the baby in the carriage suggests something more sedate. Maybe she was just heading to the babysitter’s.]]>

Strike Up the Band Grenada, Nicaragua 2013

One of the many street bands we saw during our stay in Grenada; this one during a parade that was part of the Purisima Concepción de Maria celebration.]]>

Kite Flyer #1 Grenada, Nicaragua 2013

There’s always a steady breeze coming off the lake in Grenada. But it’s generally just that, a breeze, so I had my doubts that this kite was going to get much altitude. But in the end they didn’t do too badly.]]>

Holter Museum of Art Helena, Montana 2014

We drove up to Helena, MT to the Holter Museum of Art earlier today where I gave an artist talk in connection with my Opus Corvus exhibit there. It was the most well attended artist talk I think I’ve ever had, with over 40 people enthusiastic people there. I took this photo afterwards because I’ve never seen my name in letters that big anywhere before. They really know how to pump up your ego at the Holter!]]>

Visiting Day Grenada, Nicaragua 2013

Nicaragua in general and Grenada in particular are really quite safe places, and I never felt threatened there, even when lugging a fairly expensive camera outfit around. Still, bars and grates on windows and doors seemed to be standard equipment on most buildings and houses. I guess safety is always a matter of degree (which might explain those hired guards armed with shotguns at every ATM in town). This father and son standing outside the security gate at a house talking to the folks inside gives the impression of a visit to criminals in jail.]]>
