This last weekend, there were two art events. It was First Friday Art Walk and Art Student’s League Summer Market. After visiting one second floor gallery on Friday, I left walking down stairs and noticed one man sitting on the bench outside the gallery. This was an elderly gentleman who was watching the art scene all around him on Santa Fe Blvd. I made several images of him while people were walking past behind him. This was the best images without other distractions of passing people.
Across the street was the “Artists On Santa Fe” gallery was contrasted nicely against the late afternoon skies at sunset.
Looking up above me, the skies started to form some interesting patterns. The exterior lights had switched on to provide some light on the foreground building.
Later, after visiting some other galleries, the setting sun sank lower in the sky, creating shadows on the orange-brown facade.
Farther along the street, I noticed these four buildings with the sunset skies behind. The sunset was also reflected in the second floor windows.
On Saturday, we took the opportunity to visit the annual Summer Market hosted by the Art Student’s League. This is a two-day event where Instructors and Student Members can display their art work for sale. Close to the League building are two sites where apartment blocks are under construction. The yellow cladding on the exterior of the new buildings was reflected from the adjacent building…
I noticed this yellow tunnel formed by two closely spaced dumpsters nearby. All that yellow, contrasting against that thin sliver of blue from the truck and sky in the background, just begged for an image!
Finally, after departing the market, we passed these colorful red porch chairs.
Enjoy.
