Great Clouds

Last week we had a great cloud day. I was just down the street from the Cains Ballroom over lunch so I grabbed my camera and took a few shots. Cains is a historic ballroom where Bob Wills started performing 1934. It is my favorite venue to see music in this region. I saw Yo La Tengo there 2 weeks ago. The Faint is performing at the beginning of June, but unfortunately I will be in Seattle.

"Quotation Mark" Abuse

"Quotation Mark" Abuse

I sometimes have problems with quotation marks. Somehow between cutting and pasting, they occasionally default to the wrong quotes. Maybe it's a mac thing. I need to learn to spot them when they are wrong. Anyway, I thought this was interesting.

St. Patricks

Lucie at almost 4 months

I went to Stillwater on Friday night to visit my dad, step-mom, and Kristen. I was able to spend most of Saturday at the Anthony's home where I got to play and photograph Lucie. I hadn't seen here in 3 months or so. What a surprise to see how much she has grown. She is a happy baby and extremely adorable. Luke is waiting to hear about his bar exam results, which should be Friday. Jen, the happy mom, is busy getting back to work at OSU.

Madison Ave. during the day

I took this last week at the peak of Redbud blooms. This is a look down Madison in the opposite direction as the night shot.

Madison Ave. at night

I was walking Sunday night after it had rained most of the day when I passed Madison Ave. in the Maple Ridge neighborhood (where I live). The street has a divider that is lined with Redbuds. I love this street more then any other in my neighborhood. I thought this had an erie feel. Not scary necessarily. Makes me wish I had a tripod though.

Walt Disney Concert Hall by Frank Ghery

On the way to the LA county museum during Thanksgiving Break. My friend Mike and I stopped by the concert hall to take photos. It was dusk so I was concerned that the light would be hard to come by but I got a few that I really likes. Above is my favorite.

24 Works on Paper

This piece has been accepted into the IAO 24 Works on Paper. It will travel to locations across the state through July 2007, with a closing exhibition held at the IAO gallery. The exhibition will be in communities that normally have limited exposure to quality contemporary art and will give statewide exposure to Oklahoma s superlative contemporary artists.

Art Show down today

Well, my first solo art show goes down today. Kinda sad but happy because I get paid for all my hard work! I sold 18 pieces and had a great turn out for the opening. Here is a link to the show online...Art Show

OSU Homecoming

Well, it's fall and that means football. I won't actually go to a game (I have carried that tradition since college) but I will go to the homecoming parade! I spent the night at Jen and Luke's house Friday, drank some of Luke's home brewed beer, and went to sleep in Lola's bunk bed. The next morning we went downtown for the parade. The highlights were Calvin and Linda, the Langston University marching band (who had 10 sax players!!) and an OSU energizer bunny float. The weather was actually pretty good, a little chilly but sunny.

The Flaming Lips

Here is a video I took on Friday at the Flaming Lips concert in OKC. They were recording the entire show for a DVD. We had a BLAST!

Visit to Anacortes

This is the view from my mother's deck in Anacortes. They renovated an old bed and breakfast. It has been done for about a year but they have really settled into the house since I last visited. In this photo you can see around 8 islands in the San Juan island chain.

My orchid

Here is my favorite plant. I've had this orchid since 98. It blooms ever March or April for a month. This year it had 9 blooms, a record!

Gala at the Price Tower Arts Center

Pink, White and Rashid All Over was the theme of the Gala we went to Friday. Todd, David, Lisa and I were guests of Marty from Western. It was presented by Target.

In conjunction with the first US solo museum exhibition of industrial designer Karim Rashid, April 28 - September 17. We are going up to see the exhibit again on May 25th with the Art Directors Club. So all are welcome.

I took over 100 photos, here are a few of my favorites, be sure to read the captions. http://bgelder.shutterfly.com

Woodward Park

Better late then never. Here are some of the photos I took at Woodward Park on Sunday. It was just about the height of bloom for the azaleas. I also took alot of photos of the Anthony family and their 5 year old daughter Lola. There were so many of those, I only included a few. We also went to the Tulsa Garden Center and looked at their orchid show. I know that Laura Shaw (Kathy's mom) would have LOVED it, I thought of her the whole time. She has 20 orchids! Enjoy the photos, http://bgelder.shutterfly.com.

Spring is here

Just thought I'd share a photo of one of my 2 balconies that I planted flowers in this weekend. Sunday the weather was beautiful, 75 and sunny. I took photos of the Anthonys at Woodward park. As soon as I choose my favs I will share them.

TUnado

This was filmed half way through Vanessa's art show at the University of Tulsa. Okay, here is what NOT to do when you hear tornado sirens. We Oklahomans can't help it though. When we get a major storm in the day time, our first instinct is to go outside and look up. Tonight we were lucky that there was no serious danger.
