WILD ROSES is a painting I created from a photograph I captured in 1976. It was discovered on one of my photo trips to find the forgotten, the different, those uniquely special subjects that could never be planned for … but only found. Roses can be found anywhere, but not like these. continue reading >>
This just sort of made me laugh when I found it, so I just thought I’d take a moment and share.
I sure do hope this didn’t cause you to miss your bus.

First off, regarding arms in general: the only safe arm is one not holding a gun.
If you find yourself face-to-face with a person with a fire arm, remember: drop and roll … them, not you.
This is the handgun that I used in the previous post. Look closely at the side view of the gun, then take special note of the gun’s front view. The reality is this is a virtual gun — it must be ‘loaded’ onto an iPhone or iPod Touch — CLICK the handgun above.
Apple’s got themselves a pretty sweet system. To sync your iPhone or iPod, you must launch iTunes. Right there in iTunes is the iTunes Store, featuring more and more things entertainment, everyday. And it’s tough not to take a quick peek while syncing starts up.
Most recently, I’ve been paying attention to the apps, which Apple neatly sorts by what’s most popular, both in the paid apps and free apps. I could not understand why a free gun app was always at the top of the most popular apps list. I read up on it, and discovered it wasn’t even a game — it was a “handgun simulation.”

It seems as if there’s a politically-correct way of doing just about everything, and for many things, especially in business, it’s the best option. My business phone line receives calls from long-time customers, as well as many calling for the first time.

For those, it’s very important to project a comforting dose of professionalism so as to get that positive first impression. If you haven’t yet, please listen to my outgoing greeting by clicking on it now.
I know, I’ve been asked many times why I would simply give away such valuable insight. Call me crazy, since I do. But I understand your need to reciprocate, so please buy one or more of my nicely framed prints, conveniently located in my gallery store. It’ll make you feel better.

When I think of a simple occasion, yet one that can often become a most memorable one, good friends sharing an excellent meal is at the top of the list. Many years ago, visiting the West coast on business, my long-time friend, Dave, invited me over to dinner to meet his wife, Melissa.
After working a full day in an executive position, Melissa served up a meal that was a culinary piece of art — both in appearance and flavor. I was quietly in awe. After that evening, I don’t believe I ever mentioned it to them again, but it was as casual as it was uniquely special, becoming a simply unforgettable (as well as an unforgettably simple) occasion that still elicits a warm smile.
Success in the culinary arts requires passion, just as any art form does.
The Culinary School Guide
Recently, I discovered that the online Culinary School Guide published their list of the Top 100 Useful Search Engines for Chefs, Cooks and Food Lovers. When you read down the list and begin to visit their selected sites, I suggest you begin at a comfortable time after eating a meal … don’t do it when you’re hungry. It is eye-opening. The sites they chose offer an incredible variety of sources to find virtually anything one could drool over — well, almost anything.

For a very limited period of time (in this instance, just until late tonight), I will reduce the price of this specific print by 50% … no matter what size is purchased. I can only control the price of my print, not the cost of the frames.
But what I can do is run my print specials to coincide with framing promotions. And that’s what I’m doing right now.
Until tonight ONLY, September 23 at 10PM PDT (1AM EDT), the custom framer is offering 20% off custom framing, and I’m offering 50% off The Business District (pictured above). Although we has over a million framing combinations, I prefer straight gallery framing — and that’s exactly what you see here. A black wood frame, with one off-white mat. The mat sizes I specify are wider than most people are accustomed to, but that’s what you’ll typically see in galleries. What also balances my mats are the sizes: three sides are equal (left, top, and right) but I always make the bottom mat just a bit wider.
50% off the print and 20% off custom framing — you must enter discount code FALL2008
