Happy Howls Eve
It was just a tiny bar off of Grove. I was only there once. Didn’t find it exactly “straight friendly.” I read someplace that gay bars are slowly disappearing as the world becomes more diverse and accepting. Gotta be a good thing, but not for the old Oly Bar.

So, traffic is up, but comments are down. Not sure what that means, for me I love it when you comment. Good, snarky, wrong or complementary.

Ted “the gambler” Challenger’s legal troubles have become far less troublesome. Several reliable sources report that the felony charges have been reduced to two counts of misdemeanor serving a minor. Guess well paid lawyers and friends make a difference.


Found this old truck between simco road & I 84
Love how the color of the truck matches the dusky sky.
After months of phone envy, denial, thought, and just Irish frugality the loss of my old Samsung on a photo safari last week meant it was time of look at a new phone. Since I biologically wasn’t equipped for the IBoob I took a look at the Iphone. Well I bought and I love it. How cool is it to be able to go to my www.AmericanPhotoSource.com site and show a prospect my whole gallery. As a phone it’s great, the voice mail feature is so neat, like e-mail, you can pick and chose what order you listen to the messages in.
However the best part may be the touch screen key broad. Any regular reader of this page knows that typing is not my biggest talent!!! I have been very challenged by IM, text messaging and the like. Now with the iphone it is not so hard. Typing on the screen is quick and intuitive. So, Iphone, maybe you should too.
Hi all, been ask for an update on my work. So here ya all go. . .
First, the 2008 Boise Calendar is finished and for sale. You can
purchase it online at www.AmericanPhotoSource.com. Just click on the
“Buy Calendar Here” at the top of the page. This calendar is the best
ever and would make a great client or friend gift. It features 13
months of iconic Boise imagery; including South Pool, the old Lucky 13
and the Egyptian Theatre.
The 2008 Boise Calendar is also available at Vista Book and Taters in
the Grove. The “Calendar Collection” is the featured artwork at
Dawson Taylor Downtown this month. Stop by for an amazing cuppa’
coffee and check it out. Each month of the 2008 calendar has been
printed with Ultrachrome pigment ink on a 16×20 canvas. You can also
find it for purchase fro the cool staff and Dawson downtown.
There are only two more weeks of the Boise City Public Market, but I
will be back for the Christmas show, with some unique gifts.
The brand new and beautiful City Grill has a series of images that
spotlight downtown Boise. Thanks to Mitchell and Christine. These
works “fit” the wonderfully warm and classic atmosphere of Boise’s
newest hotspot, and I am proud to grace their walls.
VP Carol Howell commissioned another set of Boise themed photos for
display at the newly remodeled Bank of the Cascades (formerly Farmers
and Merchants) on 12th and Idaho. If you need a great banker stop by
and see Carol and take a look at the photos while you are there . . .
thanks Carol.
Want something commercial or custom? Or, an image in a different size
or style let me know, I can shoot or print about any size or style, on
a variety of canvas or paper, framed or unframed.
Thanks,

The former sub shop next to M&C’s, Has been converted into a mirror image of the old hanger. They call it Gusto. Oh, to be barely 21 again. . . not!
One of the best parts of Boise is the commitment to diversity and the arts. Worldfest is a great example. A lively mix of cultures, each represented in dance. Was lucky enough to take some photos for Boise City. Here is one from Saturday.

Remember the Hanna Barbera Cartoon Wacky Races? One featured a race in these here parts, called Idaho a Go Go
Martini master master Kevin Farney rings in with the right answer. . . Pengiley’s

This is from a bronze plate of the side of the old Boise City Bank. Now The City Grill.


Normally don’t add any comments to “photo reviews”-however since it is Mudlake, thought I would send a thanks to my waitress Lee. I eat on the road a lot and she made a long drive much more pleasant.
KG’s is a combination c store, liquor store and dinner. It would have been easy to miss except for a small parking lot full of cars. Just look at the plate of food I received for $8.95 and you will understand.
The lady muse can be a fickle mistress.
Went clear to the edge of Idaho with a photo in mind. Alas the air was full of dusk from the potato harvest and the shoot was lost.
I did however have a fantasic breakfast that I will show you tomarrow.

Chasing the sun to the Tetons this(Tuesday 4:00am) morning. Not sure when I’ll post in the next couple of days. Wish me good shooting.
Pics to follow.
May not seem like folley to some. . .
But a few Boisee.com readers will find great irony and humor in this marrage made!
Calendar Photo Explanation:
As part of the “calendar explanation, I am going to give a breif description of “How did you get that shot” 2008 calendar.
Here is January 2008.
This is one of the most peaceful places in the city. Even though it is just a few feet from the connector. The green belt travels along the river below the bustle of traffic and the Boise river takes you back to nature. This image works because the classic arches span the river they enhance the scenic contrast from the river, snow and sky. The strong straight lines also create contracts with the cruves of the arches.
Tech Stuff:
1/200 sec @ f10
Cannon 20d
17mm-40mm Canon zoom @ 30
Lesions learned:
Always have a camera!
Take some time to walk the green belt
Haven’t the fall skys been grand!

Use to take lots of this style of photo, think I need to get back to it.
Not so fishy afterall. Just an overzealous restaurant in LA that decided that they were the only ones that could use the name Koi. So the little local guys had no choice but to change the name, or live with more legal battles.
The Mai Thai spin off may be doing some spinning of it’s own. Rumors of a name change, menu, and style update are bouncing down the alley off of 8th street.

UPDATE Here is the new sign- Notice the old Koi sign in the background. Not sure of the ownership/staffing details. Anybody?Anybody?
