Just click on the "Buy Calendar Here" at the top of the page. This calendar is the best ever and would make a great client or friend gift.

The 2008 Boise Calendar is also available at Vista Book and Taters in the Grove. The "Calendar Collection" is the featured artwork at Dawson Taylor Downtown this month. Stop by for an amazing cuppa' coffee and check it out. Each month of the 2008 calendar has been printed with Ultrachrome pigment ink on a 16x20 canvas. You can also find it for purchase fro the cool staff and Dawson downtown.

There are only two more weeks of the Boise City Public Market, but I will be back for the Christmas show, with some unique gifts.

The brand new and beautiful City Grill has a series of images that spotlight downtown Boise. Thanks to Mitchell and Christine. These works "fit" the wonderfully warm and classic atmosphere of Boise's newest hotspot, and I am proud to grace their walls.

VP Carol Howell commissioned another set of Boise themed photos for display at the newly remodeled Bank of the Cascades (formerly Farmers and Merchants) on 12th and Idaho. If you need a great banker stop by and see Carol and take a look at the photos while you are there . . . thanks Carol.

Want something commercial or custom? Or, an image in a different size or style let me know, I can shoot or print about any size or style, on a variety of canvas or paper, framed or unframed.

Thanks, David R Day 720 W Idaho, #34 Boise, ID 83702 208-794-7271

WorldFest 2008

One of the best parts of Boise is the commitment to diversity and the arts. Worldfest is a great example. A lively mix of cultures, each represented in dance. Was lucky enough to take some photos for Boise City. Here is one from Saturday.

East Bound-Or to the Tetons and back!

The lady muse can be a fickle mistress. Went clear to the edge of Idaho with a photo in mind. Alas the air was full of dusk from the potato harvest and the shoot was lost.

I did however have a fantasic breakfast that I will show you tomarrow.

Here are a few pictures I found along the way. . .

2008 Calendar-January photo

Jan 2008-web.jpgCalendar Photo Explanation:As part of the "calendar explanation, I am going to give a breif description of "How did you get that shot" 2008 calendar.Calendar logo.jpg Here is January 2008.

Fairview Bridge-January:

This is one of the most peaceful places in the city. Even though it is just a few feet from the connector. The green belt travels along the river below the bustle of traffic and the Boise river takes you back to nature. This image works because the classic arches span the river they enhance the scenic contrast from the river, snow and sky. The strong straight lines also create contracts with the cruves of the arches.

Tech Stuff: 1/200 sec @ f10 Cannon 20d 17mm-40mm Canon zoom @ 30

Lesions learned: Always have a camera! Take some time to walk the green belt

“How did you get that shot?”

2008 cal web-dec 07.jpgCalendar Photo Explanation:Over the next little while I am going to explain the circumstances and techniques it took to get the images for the 2008 calendar.Calendar logo.jpg I’ll start with December 2007 and work throughout the year.

Bogus Basin December 2007:
It was a prefect day, I was skiing with my daughter Elissa. Just enough cold and wind to keep the lightweights in the lodge. As we came up the ridge on chair one, Liss tapped my shoulder and said “Dad look.” I looked to the south as the wind was blowing snow up the ridgeline. The sun was behind it lit it up like a rainbow. I fumbled for the “action” cam-a smaller digicam I bring along for just this reason. Lissa leaned back I fired off one shot on the automatic setting and was amazed that we got it.

Technically this is a mostly unaltered photo. I little dodging(taking away light) and burning(adding light) in the tree and an increase in the intensity of the snow mist to bring out the colors.

Tech Stuff: 1/1000 sec @ f5 Panasonic DCM TZ1 AKA-the "wiskey cam"

Lesions learned: Always have a camera. Listen to your daughter.

Photo Friday-A river runs

Took this Tuesday afternoon just east of Americana. In what other capitol city could you fly fish in the middle of the day, seconds from heart of downtown?River Runs-web.jpg
