Art in Passing #3 Whitefish, Montana 2012

Women, it seems on casual observation, spend more time browsing the booths than men do.]]>

Art in Passing #2 Whitefish, Montana 2012

Such scowls and bored looks; at least one person seemed to take a positive interest in something in my booth.]]>

Art in Passing #1 Whitefish, Montana 2012

Three weekends ago I participated in the art fair in Whitefish, Montana. While there were a lot of people wandering about, hardly any artist I talked to did particularly well. When sales at a show go so slowly, I spend a lot of time trying to figure out something to entertain myself besides eating (which I did way too much of because I was right next to the food court). In this case, I just started taking random candid photos of people walking into or by my booth. I found the various facial expressions interesting at times so will post some. (I hope all the scowls I recorded are due to people squinting in the bright sun rather than an expression of their judgement of my photography!) The photos look better in groups, and I have quite a few, so I’ll post several each day.]]>

Bison Range The National Bison Range, Montana 2012

All work and no play makes Zippy a dull boy, so on the way back from the art show in Kalispell this last weekend we drove through the National Bison Range and took the time to walk to the high point there. We saw only a handful of the several hundred bison they have, but the views were terrific.]]>

If You Can’t Stand the Heat #2 Bozeman, Montana 2012

Speaking of heat, here is another shot from our fire department burn trailer training session earlier this year.

Home Fires #2 Budapest, Hungary 2012

Some of the other home fires in the apartment building we were staying in during our Budapest visit last fall.]]>

Home Fires Budapest, Hungary 2011

The ghostly figure in this image happens to be the Fashion Queen in the kitchen of our apartment in Budapest. I took the photo on returning from a night’s photographic stroll of Budapest. I suppose this is kind of a misleading title given we’re in the middle of a rather bad wildland fire season here in the West.]]>

The World As I See It Bozeman, Montana 2012

Actually this is the world as I see it very infrequently due to traveling to art shows and getting ready for them in between trips. I took this the other day when I took a few minutes to enjoy the new deck and some fine summer weather at our mountain house.]]>

Night Games Budapest, Hungary 2011

Some ghostly looking pool players. (You may have noticed that I’m pulling some rather random images from the past. I’m trying to tie up some photographic loose ends so to speak.)]]>

Variations on a Square Missoula, Montana 2012

A nice abstract composition that would look right at home in a contemporary art exhibit I think.]]>
