Madeline Island School of the Arts.

Having started a photogroup on FaceBook some time back one of the things I like to do most is promote the work of artist that are not very well known , as well as some of the most accomplished photographers on the planet.

Madeline Island School of the Arts.is one of the schools that sets a stage for the most accomplished. It's not surprising that Alison Shaw's workshop is sold out , they aways do and fast. Tony Sweet is another one of these photographers , along with Alison that sells out fast .Luckily there are a few spaces left for Tony Sweet's  at MISA.

I have a great respect for both , not only as artist but teachers. Should you be looking for a vacation filled with a great location , instruction and fun you can't go wrong attending workshops by either. Well , thats if you can one with an opening.

Albany Tulip Festival

In the area of New York , known today mostly as the Capitol District but for us old timers it is known as the Tri-Cities. Albany Schenectady and Troy. lord knows we have our problems. all three of these cities are listed as the most dangerous cities in the state of New York , even well ahead of NYC. The good news is Mayor F**khead De Blasio is working hard to change that. 

It is not an area for the meek. but the people here take this as a sort of pride , they are not afraid to stand up to trouble and face the situation more as an pin prick then life altering experience. Such as the south end section of Troy , where I live. Their motto is . " South Troy against the world." A friend that had once noted after a visit here , " They would probably win too. " ;O) I agreed. 

Anyway's this weekend is the 67th Albany Tulip festival. in Washington Park. One of the most beautiful places in the State.It is a cross between Washington Square Park and Central park in NYC. For anyone that doesn't know the area , Albany is one of the most historic and most beautiful cities in the country and this festival is always a great place to spend a weekend.should you get a chance to attend I'll be the nut job photographing everything and anything.

ENJOY!  

Up and Out

Heading out to my scheduled court time and wanted to leave a few from play time.

Scolite

After my morning shoot around on the courts I headed out to give my camera a little work. These are photos of a once busy place that has been rotting away for some time now. Driving along 787 you can see how much this place has deteriorated. 

For a long time I have wanted to photograph the building and today it was my first stop, More to follow later.
