Ever since I was a child, I’ve always had a fear of someone under my bed at night.
So I went to a shrink and told him . . . ‘I’ve got problems. Every time I go to bed I think there’s somebody under it. I’m scared. I think I’m going crazy.’
‘Just put yourself in my hands for one year,’ said the shrink. ‘Come talk to me three times a week and we should be able to get rid of those fears..’
‘How much do you charge?’
‘Eighty dollars per visit,’ replied the Doctor.
‘I’ll sleep on it,’ I said.
Six months later the doctor met me on the street. ‘Why didn’t you ever come to see me about those fears you were having?’ he asked.
‘Well, eighty bucks a visit three times a week for a year is an awful lot of money! A bartender cured me for $10. I was so happy to have saved all that money that I went and bought me a new camera!’
‘Is that so!’ With a bit of an attitude he said, ‘and how, may I ask, did a bartender cure you?’
‘He told me to cut the legs off the bed! Ain’t nobody under there now!’
SCREW THOSE SHRINKS.. GO HAVE A DRINK & TALK TO YOUR BARTENDER!
Life is too short…..drink more scotch.
Thanks to Keith Couch for sending this to me.

In addition to the artians at the Boise City Public Market, there are some amazing farmers. These are sunflowers from Mark and Cindy McClasky farm. I took this moments before the opening bell, Saturday.

National Magazine photographer Mark Downey photographs our own Mandy Dancer as she prepares coffee at Dawson Taylor.
Thanks to the Idaho Photographers Workshop, I was able to assist Mark in capturing Boise for a day as part of a contest sponsored by the Idaho Tourism industry.

How about this one for the calendar?
These are “Arcs” awaiting the Okinara dancer to bring them to life.
I love the colors and the simplicity of this you. Let me know, and thank you all for the help. Almost have the images figured out and I am working on this years layout.

Was so absorbed in taking this photo that not one but two nice officers pulled up to ask me what I was doing in the middle of Vista!
The washer lady was in the sun, and the background was green and in the shade. A little “Davidization” and here you have it. Worthy of the 2011 calendar?

Shot these Thursday night at the Idaho Botanical Gardens, during an Idaho Photographers Workshop meeting.
Which one is best?
Thanks to Keith Walklet for the tip.

Spent the day chasing shadows down by the Snake. Was looking for wide vistas and scenic beauty. Long time readers will not be surprised that I found these old Willy’s trucks “outstanding in their field.”
Oh and this one!

Presented by The Boise Blues Society!
Tuesday June 14th @ 8th.
No Cover, That’s right FREE
The Rockin’ Jake Band’s “Save The Clinic” tour kicks off June 12 in Denver, Colorado and continues through September. This all-star, funky, harmonica-led blues and zydeco band will be raising funds and awareness for the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic (NOMC) in seventeen states from coast to coast.
Since its founding in 1998, the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic has been an innovative, not-for-profit, occupational medicine and wellness partnership, offering affordable, comprehensive health care to the New Orleans community’s most precious resource: its musicians. The NOMC is a program of the New Orleans Musicians Assistance Foundation (NOMAF). Collaborative health partners are LSU Healthcare Network, Daughters of Charity Services of New Orleans, and St. Anna’s Mission to Musicians and Medical Mission.
The clinic is losing federal funds that cover over 90% of its operating costs. As a former patient of the clinic, and an ardent believer and supporter of the Clinic’s mission, Rockin’ Jake wants to get the word out about the loss of funding. His personal mission is to raise awareness of the Clinic and its needs, and help provide important healthcare services for his fellow musicians. Therefore, a portion of The Rockin’ Jake Band’s merchandise sales (Badmouth Hot Sauce, T-Shirts and CDs) from every show this summer will be donated to the NOMC, to help fellow musicians continue to receive care at the Clinic.
Based in New Orleans since 1990, Rockin’ Jake relocated briefly to Dallas, TX after being flooded out by Hurricane Katrina, and then settled in St. Louis, MO. Rockin’ Jake has been hailed by many as one of the premier harmonica players in the country.
As Rockin’ Jake and his band bring the flavors of New Orleans Blues and Zydeco coast to coast, come on out and support live music and help Save the Musicians’ Clinic! To make a direct donation to NOMC, go to www.savetheclinic.org

Summer in the City!!!! A SUNNY Saturday sounds so good, I think we should celebrate with an early bird special at this weeks Boise City Market. Come see me at my regular spot right in front of the Brick Oven Beanery before 11:00am and anything in the booth is 20.% off. I will also be digging out the “Bargian Bin” stuff with a whole winters worth of interesting inventory.
Spent the week prepping some new metal prints and hand printing and mounting a whole batch of new 11×14 prints mated and ready to place in a 16×20 frame. Come early and beat the crowds, save a little. A cuppa coffee would be nice too.
If you are on the Eagle side of the valley, I have a few works at the:

I heard it at a coffee shop.
The origin of the photo term “shoot” comes from the noise and bright light of the old flashes.
