Auburn's Second Thursday Art Walk


I've been busy to say the least. This Thursday is the last of Auburn's Second Thursday Art Walks, and Kerry Terese Salon & Gallery's Theme this time is Maps and Travel. So I took in three of my framed gelatin silver prints: White House, Canyon de Chelly; Bethesda Passageway, Central Park; and Villefranche Divers, France. Then when I got to her gallery I saw that she had two different paintings of the Eiffel Tower, and I said, 'hey, I have an Eiffel Tower too!' She said, 'I want it! Bring it in.' So I came home yesterday, finished off the sides, added a wire and varnished it, and made a second trip later in the afternoon. Whew!

Now this morning I was having another learning curve to deal with. While on my trip I shot all my digital prints in RAW. Now there's a subject for you! I have already loaded the Canon T2i's program for photo editing/uploading/filing, etc. I'm not going into detail here today - I haven't had time to really read thru all the process to deal with these types of files. I did get them uploaded and into folders so I could clear off a memory disk - that's all I wanted to get accomplished today. I uploaded Florence, Italy and Barcelona, Spain digital photos.

I'm sharing a picture of one of the many mimes we saw on the streets of Barcelona, namely the main drag for tourists: La Rambla. This mime is Medusa. I have to say these guys go all out for their costumes. It was hot and humid and to think they can sit there so still (without passing out!) in the heat of the day is amazing. When you give them money, that's when they move! It can be scary too! I'll share more mimes later.
