Sue scores a BiG red ribbon at the Altamont Fair photography competition! :)

Great finds located and bought at a local Cape Cod library book sale for Sue's upcoming photography tribute show, "Rock and Bone," August 2nd opening.

I have read a LOT about Georgia O'Keeffe, especially when I found a load of books about her life, at a  Cape Cod library book sale last year. Went back to the same sale this year, and found some fantastic info on one photographer she really liked, Paul Strand, and then, an Ansel Adams calendar reprint  of Alfred Stieglitz,, sitting at a desk,  in An American Place, Alfreds famed gallery, where Georgia"s work was the main show, in NYC. ( A painting of O'Keeffe's  can be seen on a wall in front of him. ) The Ansel Adams reprint  is dated 1938. The book on  Paul Strand, a pioneering  photographer that Georgia admired, focuses on his career as a innovative pioneer of photography, and has a few pictures of Ghost Ranch Country. He was invited to Georgias Ghost Ranch home many times. For color, I bought a 1961 color printed book,"Flowers of the Southwest Deserts." I then found an old  stamp book from National Audubon Society called "Desert Life." I am so delighted!!! It took a few hours to dig these old books up, but was worth every minute. All will be located near the "Rock and Bone" photography tribute show, for your enjoyment! See you at the opening of my new show," Rock and Bone" at Sharon Crutes Gallery, 73 Beekman Street, Saratoga, Friday, August 2, 2013! 6-8 PM.

Harold Ford - AKA "The Spirit of Johnny Cash" Show, starring Harold Ford and The Cash Band, and Laura Lucy as June Carter - Go see them in our area, when they return from Nashville! cert and his Cash Band with guest star Laura Lucy as June Carter - What a show!

Harold Ford, who is the creator, and star, of "The Spirit of Johnny Cash" show, bears an amazing resemblance to Mr. Cash, both vocally, and physically. Harold and his Cash Band have, in fact, been invited to play in Nashville, as the first Cash tribute band to be formally asked to due so, after Johnny's death. Mr. Ford stated he didn't intentionally set out to be a Cash tribute singer, but people are demanding that he does so. Harold, Laura Lucy as June Carter, and his Cash Band, put on a great show at the Saratoga Music Hall Friday, April 26, 2013. We wish the band all the luck on their journey to  Nashville!
