Railroad Museum and cows

Hydro Street Brewing - Sunday Aug 5th will have live bands in the boulevard next to City Hall from 9:00 to 9:00.  Beer tent with Hydro brew and , Craft and Art Fair,  and all sorts of fun.

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

I took a trip to Paoli Thursday to cement details for the Paoli Art Fair and as I was starting my drive back there was a field of Holsteins.  Cows normally do not excite me that much but the clouds were awesome ( you KNOW I love clouds) the lighting great so I stopped.

Inquisitive, yet guarded

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

BTW - ever hear the word "Giclée"?  I had a woman ask me if my canvas prints were  "Giclée".  I said yes knowing that she actually had no clue what "Giclée" actually meant.

So here is what Giclée is.  They are prints on canvas.  That's all.  The word started to make the rounds in 1991 when 

I'm working on some images for The Research Institute.  Their vision was to have images Jack Duganne started making prints on canvas with an inkjet printer. He needed to a word that did not have the negative connotations of "inkjet" or "computer generated". SO - he started using Giclée.

Giclée based on the French word gicleur, which means "nozzle" (the verb form gicler means "to squirt").

ANYWAY - I'm actually doing less Giclée currently and printing on Metallic paper which is really nice in on somethings.  I think with HDR it adds another later of  . . . otherness.

Back to the Research people.  Their vision is to have images flow from the Industrial revolution to present day when we reach there conference room which has so name like the imagination room or something.   While they were spitting out ideas they mentioned things like close up of typewriters or printing presses and so forth (bit not typewriters or printing presses).   Luckily the CEO who has a large Giclée of mine said "Just do what you do and get back to me".

So DJ and I took a ride to the Mid Continent Railroad Museum.   This is my 2nd image I produced.  I have to figure out a name for it.

Iron Wheel

   Maybe my brother a railway nut will have a good name for this.  It's the front wheel of three from this behemoth.
