Morning All,

and If I could type with a stuffed up nose I would...Ha ;) I hope you all had a Wonderful Christmas, we did. Looks like I finally caught the crud though and it is bad. Although I did force myself to go shoot last night. I went downtown and shot a couple of the theaters after dark. My inspiration for this is Thomas Carrigen, he was a photographer from 1922 til he passed. He shot images of downtown Casper as it evolved, did portrait work, and also commercial work. One of is more famous images is the Rex Theater which is gone now. I chose the Rialto and the America to shoot. You can see some of his images at www.wyomingtalesandtrails.com . This site has some great images and info of cities all around Wyoming. I'm going to shoot some more of these as time allows, not to dulicate what he did but more to record what is there now and process them with more of a modern day flare.

Alrighty then, gotta run, I'll leave you with the Rialto.
