Clean Up and Wall Layout

Today we got a lot of stuff cleaned up and positioned the locations for the walls. Photo is of Melissa lining up a floor contractor to put a sealer on the wood floors. Melisa hosts a local TV show about re-designing spaces. All of my contractors are providing their services and most of the materials for free in exchange for being on the TV show and getting to be interviewed and showcase their business.
those of you that have my Instructional DVD called " My Favorite Photographs and How They Were Made" Melissa is the one who was shooting the footage of the photo shoot for my photo "After the Storm". You don't see her but you see the camera and her feet flying threw the air when she fell during shooting.

Tomorrow We Start to Work

These are some photos of our new retail shop. I took possession today and we will start to work tomorrow. Every Day I will take more photos and write about all of the things that you have to do to open a retail store. If you are thinking about opening one. Read the new posts every day. In a week you might just change your mind.

This Blog is about to become active again. Look for new stuff mid March 2008

Louisville, KY

I am in Louisville to speak at the Professional Photographers of America Greater Louisville's meeting.
There is a Dog Show and a Cheerleader competition going on across the street. What a contrast. Thank you PPAGL so much for putting me up in the hotel that is the official hotel for the cheerleaders. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !

I had the video below ready late last night and uploaded it to Google Video. It took them all day to get it posted. I just got to my office from tonight's Manhende ceremony for the bride in the video. That is the ceremony and party where they paint designs that tell a story all over the brides body and on the bodies of her family. ( I know I spelled Manhende wrong. I can't say it so how can I spell it. If anyone knows the correct spelling please let me know.)
Look below and just press play.
I also want to thank all of the people who read my mass e mail last week. I got e mails from Tallahassee, FL. Hanoi, Vietnam. Alberta Canada and a bunch of hits from Kansas. How did I get popular in Kansas ? So Hey Kansas, send me some e mails !
