2010 Greater Kansas City Bartending Competition
I was asked to photograph this year’s Greater Kansas City Bartending Competition ( http://www.gkcbc.com/ ) at the Uptown Theater last night (Sunday, Aug. 29, 2010). Definitely a fun event to document, and as far as event photography goes, this type of thing is a lot more my style than stuff like weddings. A couple of [...]
Kat’s Retirement from the KCBT
A couple retirements happening at the Kansas City Board of Trade these days (my “official” place of employ). Kathleen, above, on her final day at the Kansas City Board of Trade as Vice President of Membership. I wanted to get a picture of Kat on the trading floor before I left for the day. I [...]
A Feedlot in Stafford County, Kansas
Monday, Aug. 23 at nightfall on my aunt and uncle’s farm out in southern Kansas, Stafford County to be precise. This is in the feedlot area with the moon coming up on the horizon. Back in April, hours before BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil rig famously blew up in the Gulf of Mexico, I took this [...]
Pastures outside of Preston, Kansas
Photo taken this past Sunday evening. I see here in August the moon rises at just the right time for a certain dramatic effect. I was in Preston, Kansas, a tiny, and regrettably foundering town of which I have some ties to. I stop there every once in a while when I’m visiting my grandmother [...]
Stafford Train Depot
The old unused train station/depot in Stafford Kansas, this past Saturday evening, 08/21/10. Maybe old unused depots are cliche subject matter, but whatever. This one has the red glow of the exit sign inside showing through the windows. I was out there in southern Kansas for a long weekend.
Photowalk at the Union Station Pedestrian Bridge
Back on July 24th was the Worldwide Photowalk Day – there were two in Kansas City, one in the morning and one in the evening starting in the Crossroads area. I took this one around the beginning of the evening, looking westward with some geometries of part of the pedestrian bridge across the train tracks.
Kauffman Center near the Ballroom
Tuesday evening was a good night to get out and get some dusk pics. I had been meaning to try this angle for myself for a while after noticing some other photos taken around the south entrance to the Ballroom at the convention center. The weather was cool, with nice cloud cover for a change, [...]
Kansas City Nuclear Parts Plant Protest
A large protest Monday morning descended on the empty construction site for the planned Kansas City nuclear plant facility that is set to replace the old Bannister complex. Protestors met at the road entrance on Missouri Highway 150 near Botts Road in south Kansas City, then made way through the site and impeded construction machinery. [...]
John Paul Garcia
For as much as this photoblog and my own collection of pictures are KC-centric in one way or another, it’s logical not just to illustrate only the up-to-date seven story buildings and whatever other pleasantries reside here – there’s also the abnormally high murder rate per capita that the urban core of KCMO has to [...]
The Monahan Brothers
I went and photographed a gathering at Mill Creek Park on the Plaza on Monday, this one concerning last January’s Supreme Court decision Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission in that, in what I imagine must have to be a pile of legalese and mumbo-jumbo, it was ruled to expand the legal definition of a [...]
The Abdiana Sign
The Abdiana Sign at about 20th and Grand, photo taken on the evening of July 24th during the Worldwide Photowalk.
