I have had a hard time getting out and being creative lately. I'm almost even tired of taking pictures of my son, almost. I though this picture of Aiyana's birthday party was cute. I took this at Iao valley, it's the  ceiling in a pavillion there. Finally I thought this would work well for the  symmetry theme.

Our town is rich in art.  We were driving down the road by the art center which I have taken many of times but it was something that my five year old said that got my attention.  Mom, Look at that funny tree.  At first I was not sure what she was talking about so we went down the road again to see the  funny tree.  As we were turning around in the parking lot of the local art center we came across another neat piece of art.  

On our way home we drove the scenic route and came across this beautiful  old episcopal church.  I was intrigued with the windows.

This could make you look twice, "A Walk To Heaven" at Nasher Sculpture Gardens in Dallas Texas Walk to Heaven and then a few other sculptures that i really enjoyed Hard at Work   High Rise in a Hole

Summer time, and the garden is just starting to bloom.  This year, they added some 'art' to their display:

My wife and I went to the newly re-opened Getty Villa. For those that don't know, it is a museum of Greek and Roman antiquities set in a replica of a Roman Villa in Herculaneum that was buried by the eruption of Vesuvius. And it is on a hill above Santa Monica Bay. It is a beautiful place and just newly renovated. It is full of  marble statues and  bronze busts and bronze statues. It is set up just like a villa with an inner peristyle with bronze statues of   women standing next to a pool. And there is an outer peristyle with a statue of  Bacchus and some beautiful  frescos. There is a new  ampitheater.
The  east garden fountain is nice as is the new entrance entrance2  I also got a picture of a wild eyed bronze and an orange fruit or seedpod. We had a great time even though it rained. We recommend anyone that can, to make reservations and enjoy the art and architecture architecture 2 architecture 3.

Hey Everyone, due to my usual procrastination, I fell a little behind in getting things moving in my life...responsibilities suck!

I was driving on the road here that goes by the county dump, and I noticed a strange...Fence. It was all metal and rusted. It must hide an artist that works in raw materials...stone, metal, even water. Here are some shots of the parts of the fence..Fence thing..now if you look in this hole, you'll see a chain link looking art form he or she is working on..it's the size of a .. House ...Fence buttons... Fence rocks... Even his outside lighting was ..Art . Then theres the watch Men.. Bodies

Let's get to know a little about each other.  Using photos tell us something about yourself.  Who are you?  What do you do?  What do you like?  What are your talents?  Show your old school pics if you want.  etc....

Here is my example:
I am very family oriented.  I am married and have two sons. (But I do not post pics of my family without permission)  So here are some more hints about me:

Molly
 Hershey
 Big Sully George missing pics of a bird and a dog.
Hobby
My job
 My job 2
Painting my walls family Aren't they purdy?  
My drawing drawing 2 drawing 3 (Sorry these didn't photo well but wanted to show them.)

This post will start on October 21st.

Have fun with it, the sky is the limit. But keep it so we don't need warnings on them.   Old and new pics are okay.

Next theme meister will be drum roll please.....Jeffrey!

Update [2005-10-30 17:28:55 by austinspace]: Bumped!

I was just hired to do a website for a science fiction author, nice to say he likes my work and is giving me the opportunity to design his next book cover. While it is not typical photography, it does incorporate alot of photo elements and my art. This is the first markup for the front cover.Cover

Austinspace wanted to see some full size quilts. here a 2
