Long time me no post pictures---well-here are some new ones!!!

Someone asked the other day if I had some new photos---I have been taking some--but hadn't really had time to load them and work with them with the MAC---it is soooo different and for me--a bit confusing trying to learn a new comp system!!!

These I took last night at a periodic event that takes place here in my hometown--a widespread arts/cultural event called "Urban Nights"

I have a sampling of what I took---with the bulk of them just a few of many photos I took of a "hot" (in more ways than one and the pun is intended) "fire dancer" named Astrea.

This dress outside a cool thrift shop caught my eye, "Groovy man, Groovy!!" and inside the shop:

A really wicked "art car" (in this case a small pickup truck)

A colorful display of Houka pipes found in one of the shops located in this Dayton art, entertainment and shopping district--of course---those pipes are only to be used for tobacco!! ;);)

At one district art gallery--they were having a private party for those involved with a local film festival currently taking place--I crashed the party in a way by taking photos through the windows:

The next set of photos were taken at a gallery run by a local group of "outsider/raw artists"---this was an open party--

Other scenes--a tatt parlor looking wicked at night--I just love neon lighting!

A former diner car restaurant looking good turned into a cool night hotspot (the thin band of red light you see above the bar is a strip of neon that goes around the top of a nearby office tower):

Some cool, random shots including one more of the "art car" and of a local band performing back before dark:
