Way to point the toe, Deaq.

If you are looking to take a step up in the competition, I have family members that are really into Soccer and have Elite teams. Let me know if you want a contact #.

Have you heard of Waza?

I am not up to snuff with Soccer as Hockey is my game.

PM me the birth year and I will give the info to my family members.

Had my first art show on Saturday, conditions were in the high 40's with a ton of wind, but I still had a blast. I sold 4 pieces and had an order for another. Great time all around, I met some really talented artists and had some great conversations with people about my work.

ISLAIR,

Congratulations.

Did any of your HDR work (your admitted in to the local market) sell?

[Islair]

Actually the only thing I was showing was HDR, and the reaction to them was really positive, even from the more traditional photographers that were displaying.

On a completely different note, has anyone on here have a frind named Jim that just accepted a job with CAT and moved to Peoria from Detroit? I had a really good conversation with him and he told me his old neighbor is a HUGE Lion fan, almost an obsession. Loads the kids up for the Thanksgiving game every year, Lion gear, just an all around Lion die-hard, much like the rest of us. Was he talking about any of you?

Congrats Islar!

1 question...the picture over your right shoulder of the train??? Did that sell? It looks really cool from what I can see of it.

I'm quite the train buff.

[Islair]

I have sold quite a few of the train photos, took it last year. The train was actually part of a resturant called Vonachen's Old Place that closed this past year. the VOP's train has been a landmark for years here in Peoria and when they started talking about closing it and moving the trains people got all emotional, so I made sure to get a few good shots of it before it was gone for good. Seems like everyone in Peoria has a story to tell about the VOP's Train.

Here is a better look at it.

Thanks Dude!

It's awesome! Where did you take it at?

[Islair]

It's awesome! Where did you take it at?

Right here in central IL, I edited the post with the photo in it....gave a little more of a description.

Here is a video clip of when they moved the train....watch the guy under the train car as they move it.
