Pain in the ass Monday

Posted on 8:11 AM by Unknown
WOW - I get to work and I have a totally new computer - thing is they took our old ones and reformatted the hard drives so all of my work stuff for the State - GONE.  All my bookmarks for SAS are gone.

OH - I finally got into my email an I had a day warning asking me to make sure I should tell them what I needed saved.  TOO LATE   grrrrrr

What's funny is we now have all 2010 programs which hare way way different then the 2003 WORD, Excel and so forth.  So my stuff from home is now compatible.  BUT - anybody that did not have a new machine at home is floundering with totally different software.  
---------------------------------------------------------------------

On the way to work I had to take my cocktail pants to the cleaners - LAST CALL FOR MIXOLOGY!!    Buy your tickets at http://www.rawartists.org/madison/mixology   -  I'll have seven to eight of my images up on a 30 foot wall - HOWEVER - I won't have time to get my newest ones up of the B17 that came to Madison.

The B17 was nicknamed Aluminum Overcast and was delivered to the U.S. Army Air Corps on May 18, 1945 and is one of 12 Flying Fortresses still able to fly. It caries the colors of the 398 bomber group.

I went to Wisconsin Aviation Friday and took a lot of photos but with the crowds I was unable to get any great clear shots so I waited around and talked to EAA people asking about better times.  I was told that if I waited until the very end while they were shoeing people away I might get some clear shots!   



I think I'm going to make this into a large canvas piece.

DJ and I went to Art Fair on the Square and I did not see anybody with "my" subjects.  A TON of great great photographers and my buddy Cassius Callander's canopy was packed.  But no one had a B17.  :-)





Here is one with people and is totally different.


I'm trying to make art and art fairs accessible to males!  It's surprising how mane people liked my submarines photos! 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 Have a great Monday - keep cool - I have an amazingly busy week ahead - two art fairs in the next 6 days.
