Plaza Art

We've been away from the blog and the camera for a few weeks. This is one of the busy times for the day job. Today was the first Saturday I had free after working or being on call the previous four Saturdays.

The timing couldn't be any better. It is going to be beautiful early fall weather here in KC. Highs in the mid-70's with cool nights.

It is also the weekend of the Plaza Art Fair. It's the 80th edition of one of the premier arts events in the country. Over 200 artists displaying their wares, and 200,000+ visitors are expected when the weather is good like this. Interesting art, entertainment, good food. Lots of people watching !

Here are a few shots that are my contribution to the weekend's art

The Artist

We had a beautiful fall Sunday. We went to the Plaza Art Fair today. This art fair is promoted as one of the major events on the national juried art show circuit. There were over 200 artists in attendance. About every medium you can think of (sorry, no video) were on display. I went with a photographic project in mind to see and capture images of people. Kansas City's Country Club Plaza is also photogenic all by itself. This is an image of one of the exhibitors keeping an eye on his wares.
