We basically HANDED them the game and they STILL had problems winning.
With that said I have an "A" pick for all of you gamblers out there. At one point in my life I was a tout and one little system, over the years" has kept on ticking like a little pink bunny. It's record now is 51-15 Against The Spread. I only get 4 or 5 picks a year but they are gold. This week I have my first "A" game. Play the NY Giants over the Bears and you are even giving the Bears 4 points.

Watched two movie's in the past week. "Shutter Island" and "The Book of Eli". Both were very very good and the endings leave you wishing there was more.

Ken Burns has his Baseball special on tonight on PBS - The Tenth Inning. This continues the BIG baseball documentary (which you can not get on Netflix)and covers the last 20ish years, the strike, steroids and so forth.

Has anyone ever been to the Baraboo "Faire on the Square" in the Spring? I'm now looking into shows for NEXT year and X-ing out all fairs with the word CRAFT in them. Also - looking at what sold this year it seems people really like city scenes so once I start zoning in on the Fairs for next year I have to get to the towns and take artsy photos!
Tooting my own horn alert.
If there is one thing I have taken away from this summer of fairs is that all the compliments seem to have the same general language. In fact this email encapsulates most of the compliments I recieve. It's sort of creepy actually.
In my opinion most paintings bore me. Most photography displays bore me too - but your work method is like a whole new “type” of art.
The color tricks me into thinking it’s a painting and then suddenly I’m struck with the truth that it’s a photo. Then once I recognize the subject location, I get a kind of nostalgic impression that, most likely, everybody interprets differently. Some may go back in time while others may see it as now or possibly in the future. Or I just experience a different mood to a common place I see every day.
Your stuff is really exciting to see.
Blake hurt himself. He was running around all excited and as he came around the corner YELP!! and he tumbles. He can't put any weight on his front left paw. I think we will have to take him to the vet tonight after work. Poor guy, deaf and now limping. Being a 14 year old is tough! He is in pretty good shape for being an old dog though, still runs around and is very happy. Sleeps a lot because of no noise stimulation.

Look who sits up on her own. A little camera shy and loves to smile AFTER the flash!!
Caydence is an accomplished roller and rolls all over the place now! She has become mobile and a whole knew stress for Jenny has reared it's head. No longer content on just laying around. Caydence is Roller Girl.

On the way home from Green Lake I saw some farm equipment in operation and stopped. The sun was in the wrong place and my camera was on the worst setting possible but I did not realize it. So I was snapping away and didn't get much.
About 10 miles farther I saw the perfect shots with great light . . .but as I got closer I saw it was a manure spreader with crap flying EVERYWHERE. I thought about stopping but then felt that was there really anyone who would buy fine art of poop flying through the air. . . . .hmmmm maybe there IS!!
Anyway - this is an image from my first non-poopy shot!
BTW - getting some comments on that photo - I'll put a poll up in a few minutes - I just never know if something is worth exploring further.
Nuff said
Have a To Too Tuesday!

Did u put lipstick on Caydee bird? Her lips look awful red!
ReplyDeleteI have been to the Art Faire on the Square in Baraboo many times. It is a lot of arts and crafts. Last year there were a lot of jewelers. There are some photographers, not sure how well they do.
ReplyDeleteThey have food, games, music, etc on the square so there is a lot going on. Hope that helps a little.
Yea - we dress her up and put lipstick on her but wipe it off before you get there. We hoping to put her in some talent contests while you are not looking.
ReplyDeleteI think it was just the flash or something.
