Very Early This Morning

I was awakened this morning around 2:45AM... "the baby is coming, the baby is coming!" I got dressed, grabbed my camera and headed out to the barn. By the time I got there two of the longest legs I have ever seen were sticking out of Mama and shortly after a brand new horse joined our farm. No name yet, but what a future she will have.

La Quinta Arts Festival

Last Thursday I was a judge at the La Quinta Arts Festival. An old friend from school, Charley Akers lives in La Quinta and got me involved with this gig last year and I enjoyed it so much I volunteered again. It's great to see all the artists and their work, but also I get to hang out with Charley and Julia Akers.

Charley and I were two of the three judges. The third was Randy Bernardi. The three of us were judging only the photography portion of the show but that was plenty. There were over twenty photographers showing their work. Much of it was very interesting and creative. The photographers who were there were Bart Aldrich, Timm Chapman, Zeny Cheslikoski, David Forster, Jennifer Fraser, Chris Honeysett, Roger Isabell, Vern Clevenger, Richard and Jill Jackson, Dennis Kohn, Lisa Kristine who won the best in category award, Doug Landreth, Laurent Martres, David Mayhew, Jeffery Murray, Darren Olson, Youngbok Park, John Richter, Martin Roberts & Dan Witte, Mark Stephenson, Kenny Tong and Marna Zanoff & Chuck Boxwell. 

Each of these artists spent four days there and I hope they all sold a lot of work. 

I have included one of my own photos to accompany this entry. To see more of my work, please visit http://eliotcrowley.com.
