Stolen from my other blog

Posted on 8:15 AM by Unknown
So this is now my secondary blog as I've been updating the photo blog daily with a new photo - this is what went up yesterday for you guys missing out!!  :-)  
 --------------------------------------------------
I've had a number of requests for Camp Randall Stadium. At art fairs it seems a lot of my images stir memories, it's what I try to do and I believe that is what modern impressionism is all about.

So when at an art fair people will look at my art and all of a sudden access that part of their brain which contains memories and at that time of day and that setting seems to be GOOD memories. I'm asked . . . do you have any paintings of Madison? . . . .yes yes, these are ALWAYS called paintings which, in a way they are.  . . anyway . . they always asked for Camp Randall.

If you have ever walked around the stadium you know it's a massive gray piece of cement.  Night, shots would be nice (put that in MY memory bank).  So I found a place for an inside shot.  This is actually NINE photos stitched together and at the moment I give this a 3 out of 5 star rating only because of it's uniqueness/coolness.

I see a number of flaws (the sky is a real problem) that can be fixed when I start all over on it again . . .. or. . . I can go back with my NEW 10-20MM ULTRA WIDE ANGLE LENS.  I had to sell my neighbors car to get it but he will never notice.


Looking it hmmmmm - yea - it's a do-over with a 5 star goal.

I'll post the color version which might actually be better . .. hmmmm . . opinions are always welcomed.

Anybody buying Green Bay Packer Stock?  Brilliant timing on this as who would NOT want to buy stock at the moment.

I attended a class/seminar for Social Networking last week and what I got out of it was that this is ONLY the beginning.  The next 4 years you well see huge growth in Social Networking.  Did you know that many colleges do not even give out email address anymore?  Email is so old school and is on the way out.  Texting is how people communicate now.  Email is . . . . SLOW!!! 

I was surprised at how many people are afraid of Social Networking.  To many bad things can happen. What if someone says something bad about your company.  WELL!!!  They are going to ANYWAY so it's better to be online then NOT.

It was an interesting class but not very useful if a person is already online  (LIKE Melotte Photo Imagery on Facebook).

------------------------

Watched Hell on Wheels - a new western on AMC and I liked it.  Deadwood-ish,  gritty but interesting.  The star reminds me a little of the guy that plays the gun dude on Person of Interest.

Cheers
