I’m excited to announce that I’ve been invited to attend a “members only” art show. Only people that have been invited can show up and sell their art work.  I’ve heard about this group for many years but never thought anything about it until I posted this picture of 192 out of Dollywood, Pigeon Forge.  This is a single image that I ran through Photomatirx to convert into an HDR image. I know it’s a little harsh for some but I like it as well as one of the members of the art show.  He said that this as well as some other of my HDR images would sell at the art show.  I’m a little excited about it and said that I would think about it.  I’ve never sold any of my work before other than doing a few weddings and photo shoots but I think that’s a little different.  The art show is open to the public and is not until next month so I’ve got some time to get some of my images printed off.  The guy that invited me said that he would help me with the pricing and displaying of my images for sell.  Maybe something will come of this.  Who knows??

It was finally good to get home early this morning. Today I have been reacquainted with my recliner.  Haven’t moved much all day.  I didn’t sleep well on the bus after leaving Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, never could get comfortable.  I had gotten a little motion sickness trying to work on my computer right after we left and that may have had a lot to do with it.

I absolutely love steam locomotives. Always have and I guess I always will.  Wife and I went on a steam excursion about 20 some odd years ago from Birmingham to Chattanooga, Tenn. and that’s the last time I’ve seen one in operation.  These workhorses are so majestic but yet have such a mournful sound when you hear their whistle blow off in the distance.  One of these day’s I’d like to do some traveling just to find all the locomotives still in operation and do some photography work.

This locomotive can be found in Dollywood in Pigeon Forge Tennessee.
