The Wide Open Walls 916 mural festival in Sacramento was back in mid-September, 2020. This wall off Blumenthal drive hosted a Graffiti-off. (Like a dance off with paint and scaffolding!) Three separate artists hit the wall at the same time. Which one is your favorite? It’s certainly not my favorite art or favorite walls of … Continue reading Wide open Walls 916 – Graffiti Off
Like I said, no shortage of interesting graffiti. Maybe I should go over and start a Parisian Graffiti walking tour? Tell me, do you find graffiti a nuisance? Attractive? Interesting? Scary? I found most of the art to be innocent and interesting in Paris. There was relatively little that was obscene or gang related. So, … Continue reading Parisian Graffiti – Part Trois
There is actually so much interesting graffiti in Paris I quit photographing it and just focused on the art I thought was different, or weird, or interesting in some way. I couldn’t believe how great some of the art was, how prolific it was, and how it almost seemed to be encouraged in the right … Continue reading Parisian Graffiti – Part Deux

I make no apologies. I am a die-hard U2 fan and will be until the day I die. I recently saw them in concert in San Jose (California that is) and would jump at the idea of seeing them again and again. I have tickets to see the thirtieth anniversary of the Joshua Tree album … Continue reading The aging “Lads of Ireland” (U2 in Dublin and the city that made them)
My brother is planning a trip to Utah and Colorado which got me daydreaming about Southern Utah again. Capitol Reef National Park is a great park not nearly as busy as Arches, Zion, Bryce, Natural Bridges and other nearby locations. It’s a vast and impressive park for hikers and desert lovers. State Route 23 through Fremont … Continue reading Capitol Reef, Utah
