Smith Snippets
A problem today is that I can think of a lot of things to write about, but they would all take some time to get into. I don’t get writer’s block. I get “what can I write that will get me in the least amount of trouble today?”
So all of you long controversial ideas, get back on the shelf! Go on now. I do have a few art/photo related snippets for the moment….
- If you have seen Alfred Hitchcock’s movie “The Birds”, then you have seen The Tides Restaurant in Bodega Bay, CA. Well, no, you haven’t really seen it… they remodeled the quaint, funky place into a generic tourist mass feeding zone. I liked it better the old way. They even made the food worse. But but but! None other than Tippi Hedren will be there next weekend to sign autographs and reminisce.
- I’m anxious to get over to the Marc Chagall Exhibit at SFMOMA.
- FlexiPhoto, my web-based photo db, is coming soon! I don’t want to post too soon, and put a bad impression out there. On the other hand, I want to get it out there so I can tell future employers “hey, here’s what I have been up to recently”. PhotoPlus Expo East is coming up, and it would be great to point some people (like small photo stock agencies) at FlexiPhoto.
- I want to combine travel and work somehow, and soon! I’ll be going to NYC at the end of October for PhotoEast, but would welcome a gig that would get me there sooner.
