NFCB Conference In StPaul Attracts Radio Luminaries
NatioNal Federation of Community Broadcasters
I have spent the last few days at the NFCB conference in StPaul. There would have been more photos, but I have spent so many days in gap-mouthed amazement over what I've been hearing that I haven't made a lot of images. If the next day or so gets more productive, I'll post them here. Until then, here's Maxi Jackson, the new President and CEO of NFIB, Bruce Theriault, Senior Vice President, Radio for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and Michael Eric Dyson, host of his own new radio program.
Dyson's oratorial skills elicited several "Amen, brothers" from the breakfast crowd. Yes, he is a thrilling speaker. Can't wait to hear his program.

FlOW Was a Joy
Real Spirit, Real Food, Real Fun!
Flow was a gas. I spent most of the afternoon in front of the Broadway Liquor Outlet at Penn and Broadway making photos of whoever walked by. The subject matter couldn't have been better.
Then at 6:30 pm I hurried down to the Cub Foods stage for the Talent Contest. To see more of the photos go to http://carney.com/flow2009 To see a larger copy of the photo above just click on the photo.

I participated in the Worldwide Photowalk
it was a Harry Potter day
I'm a terrible editor. I usually like everything I shoot. I've put up eight photos from my participation in the Worldwide Photowalk. During the walk we were all joking about Harry Potter high dynamic range (HDR) effect. So, I get back to the studio and what do I get all HP HDR. Something just got away from me.
Anyway, I need to pick two of these to upload to the Photowalk. Help me pick, please

Some Thoughts on the end of summer

9/6/2009
I could be outside drinking in one of the last weekends of summer. Instead I'm sitting here reviewing the summer that's slipping away outside my window.
On August 15th Rochelle and John Ratzloff took us to Two Pony Gardens, http://www.twoponygardens.com to meet Lisa Ringer and Siri Knutson. The day was mild just like the whole summer has been this year. The overcast sky made for shadowless photos.
For a couple of weeks now I've been visiting this photo of a wasp nest. What a magnificent bit of engineering it is, but today I noticed the dahlias the farm is famous for. I thought I'd better share them with you while they become to distant a memory.
Here are a dozen more photos from that day in their wonderful garden:

Two Legends in conversation
Click on the photo above to see a larger version of this photo.
While photographing Van Jones and Eric Utne at Ted Mann Auditorium for the Green Jobs: Rx for a healthy economy & a healthy environment I spotted a couple of legends from the past who are still legends today.
Right there on a bench in the middle of all this commotion—Clyde Bellecourt and Annie Young. These two people have fought battles longer than most of the crowd have been alive. They are still at it and we're better off for their efforts.

A Photo of Larry Lamb
I seem to get good photos of my old friend Larry Lamb and I've waited too long to put one of them up on this blog. I made this photo when we went over to Larry's house for some of his storied soup. It never disappoints. Maybe I should make photos of him a regular feature.
Do you suppose it will get me more soup?
