Tough Guy?

Not so much!  I spotted this sweet girl with her daddy at ArtWalk 2011.  When she's a teenager can't you just hear her saying, "DAD! I can't believe you're going to wear that hat. I'm humiliated!"  Or maybe she'll still know she has a VERY cool dad!

Looking For a Handout

Last weekend we stopped by photographer Liz Young's booth at Artwalk. Liz specializes in doggy portraits. What could be more fun!  I thought this photographed looked so convincing by the big bowl of dog treats!  I've also featured Liz's work here at Magic City Art Connection.

Expressing Himself

On Artwalk weekend - Morris Avenue, it was encouraged!

Snail Mail or Email??

I know it's faster but that email you get on your iPhone can't compare with a letter typed on this great old manual typewriter.

Of course it brought this tune to mind........the Boxtops!

Artwalk 2011 - A Rainbow For Her Cheek

 This is just the first of many images I will share from this past weekend's 10th Art Walk.  I love Artwalk. It gets people downtown and showcases so many artists!  This beautiful little girl was taking part in the hands-on activities for kids of all ages on Morris Avenue.

I was fortunate to be able to take a photography workshop by well known Birmingham photographer,  Karim Shamsi-Basha  . Karim was, as I expected, a wonderful teacher.  We adjourned the class at Art Folk Gallery, and wandered the streets to put into practice what Karim had taught us.  It was a terrific day.  Thank you Karim.
