Things are great in the world of David R Day Fine Art. Two of my metal images have been juroried into the Art Source Gallery's annual contest. The winners will be announced 1st Thursday July 2nd.

I will also be on Display at the Brick Oven Bistro on the Grove for at least the month on July AND I will have a small but powerful grouping of work at the new Ophidia studio by the VAC in Garden City.

Oh, and take a look at a one of a kind art piece, designed exclusively for the back bar at Jo's new Sunshine Lounge.

OK, my arm is tired from patting myself on the back. THANKS for all the support.

As long as I am blowing my horn, here is a "Self Portrait" from the Oregon Coast.beachghost-1751

Dave thanks for all the help when I went digital. If I had known how good the resolution would be, Iwould have done it 20 years ago.

KODACHROME-RIP-update

One of the greatest films ever, Kodak Kodachrome will be retired soon.  Know for it's rich colors and a slightly reddish tilt, Kodachrome was a staple for portrait shooters for 74 years.  Sad as I am to see it go, I haven't even seen the little yellow box it came in for years. Guess I am not alone.

Here are a few snappy comments to this story that came from the FaceBook version of this story.

"mama,do'nt take my kodachrome away ay ay "

Do they still make Tri-X? Oh wait . . . you can't buy a film camera anymore. Never mind.
