This event was beyond what I could have imagined.  It turned out to be what I can only describe as a “Creative Free for All!”  There were the great drawings being sold for charity of course.  But, there were also a massive amount of musicians, painters, photographers and interactive activities.  At one point I photographed a man painting on a wall, behind musicians performing, who were being painted while they were performing and then being photographed (see below)…  Ridiculously fun to have so many people involved in an event.

After 6 weeks, I put all my screen shots together in a small photo-strip format simliar to what you get from a photo booth.  I’m calling it baby-booth!  I put some old film effects on the photo and ended up with a nice addition to his baby book showing how he changed over the first two months of his life…

Last weekend we had a short trip in East Holland with a VW Bus.  The words that best express this trip are curiousity, exploration, discovery, and fustration
