The Artist Takes a Break, and a Nik Software Review
Image by Stuck in Customs
In Buenos Aires, there is a very artsy area called La Boca. It's filled with tiny little studios, restaurants, tango in the streets, and all kinds of life. The colors are bright and vibrant, so, of course, I went crazy with my camera there. While exploring, I found this cool artist's studio on the second floor of an interior section. I had on my 24-70mm, and I was admiring her studio at f2.4. Then, by luck, she came to the window to peer out. I grabbed a quick one.
This was edited with Nik Software, so I took this opportunity to write a Nik Review for y'all! It's very cool software, and I have put a bunch of new images inside of there... Many of them are "in progress", and might not show up in their final form on the blog for a few weeks.

Bob Waldmire: Meeting an Artist Whose Work I've Collected for Over 20 Years
Image by cobalt123
In December, suertudo and I went to Portal, Arizona, at the eastern edge of the Chiricahua Mountains in the southeastern part of the state. We stayed at the Portal Lodge, and in the afternoon's wanderings I found a great VW bus, a classic of the hippie days. After I'd taken about 20 shots, the owner came by with a friend, and we struck up a converstation. Lo and behold, it was Bob Waldmire, an artist whose work I've collected since 1980 if not earlier!
Since I was raised in Illinois and went to school at Normal, IL, I became acquainted with his postcards and posters that have a great graphic quality in the intricate maps and historical trivia contained. Over the years I''ve collected his posters of small towns from Clinton, IL to Bloomington-Normal to Pontiac, IL (home of the Route 66 museum) to obscure places all along the historical Route 66. What a delight to meet him finally!
His VW van is so famous that the Pixar movie "Cars" has a character named Fillmore that is based on Bob's old 1972 VW bus! There are fun links listed below for those interested in following up on why I've been such a fan all these years. And the reason "Fillmore" is not "Waldmire" is also fascinating and in keeping with this great artist's life and beliefs. Salute to a Great American Original!

It is Bob's bike that I showed earlier on my stream in December, here. Never fear, cobalt was on it and there are more photos to come in a set for this great treasure of the road.
