And, On A Personal Note....

                                       My Daughter Kelly got engaged today to Jonathan finch..

 It really wasn't that long ago that we went to the Nutcracker for the first time, above, or that she learned to walk....  time flies.

A Graduation In The Family

Congratulations to my Daughter Kelly who graduates from George Washington University today with her Masters in Medical Anthropology.   :)

Happy Birthday Kelly

The Daughter is 23 today. A few shots from much earlier times. Happy Birthday Kid!

Gallery Time

Kelly, The Kid, had some photographic assignments for her class to do... so while home on Easter break we headed to the Nelson Gallery of Art.... specifically the Photographic exhibits in the Bloch Building. Below is the ceiling in the garage... showing skylights.
Old and new above.... all new below..... the Bloch Buildings demands to be seen in black and white.


Despite the lack of crowds in the pictures the Gallery was full of people.... lots of little ones too.
Where 30's meets 00's....

Above the ceiling.... below, this one needed to be in color.
The Kid taking notes.... she has to write a review of the space for her Introduction to Photography Class.
Below, pondering in progress ;)

Man and photos in a photo.
Kirkwood Hall, above, Rozelle Court below.

Southern vista... we managed to dodge the rain for a few outdoor photos. Below, Butt and Bird.

The Gallery stands where the home of William Rockhill Nelson stood.... the founder of the Kansas City Star donated most of the money for the old structure... Mary Atkins provided the rest. Below... entryway lights.
$5 charge for parking in the underground garage... Museum itself is free.
Above..... leaving this post with these posts. Tomorrow we head for the West Bottoms. Just as a side note.... all these were taken with my newly repaired Nikon D200. Thank heavens it seems to be working fine. I guess we're all better after a trip to the West Coast :)

Extra Special Birthday

My daughter is 21 today (March 10th). She's home on spring break this week from Saint Louis University where she's double majoring in Anthropology and Spanish. Congratulations Kelly.... Love Ya Kid.
