Sorry for no Monday post...

... I moved my studio today and I'm exhausted. Thanks to all my helpers!

Reclining Man

FestivALL! - Street Fair

FestivALL just keeps getting better and better. A few downpours didn't dampen the fun downtown today!

FestivALL! - Blues, Brews, & Barbecues

The great Sonny Landreth was in town today. I was excited. I learned about him from Eric Clapton's Crossroads Festival DVD. I really love electric blues guitar. The man's technique is astonishing.

Sad

Some people have plans to fix up this downtown landmark, but so far nothing is happening. I think they are waiting to get tenants lined up.

A new image for West Virginia

Today is West Virginia Day. A lot of bloggers are getting together to try and put forth a new image for our state. One of the things that I've noticed over the years is that I have a very different view of our state and our economy than the conventional wisdom. We hear lots of moaning about how there are no jobs and the economy is terrible, etc., etc. As an advertising photographer, I go around the state and I visit all sorts of businesses and organizations. If they are spending money to bring me to their location, chances are that these groups are growing and are doing interesting things. That's what I see, day in and day out, so my perspective is much more optimistic about what's going on here. Here are a few shots from some of those visits. I wish I had more time to dig into the files, but here are a few things I found with a quick browse.
