Description of Subject Matter: Take Flight
Take Flight II supports the Barbara Ingram School for the Arts while enriching artistic Collaboration, increasing visibility of downtown, promoting tourism, and celebrating community in the Hagerstown Arts and Entertainment district.
As part of Taking Flight II, forty-five sponsored hot air balloon sculptures will be artistically decorated and placed in downtown Hagerstown in April and May 2011. All hot air balloons that are not acquired through the Soaring Sponsorship will be auctioned at the Hot Air Balloon Festival & Glow Event in May 2011. The hot air balloon was chosen because, like the Take Flight butterfly, it symbolizes a soaring vision for our community – downtown revitalization, a new school for the arts, and students being able to “take flight” through artistic expression.
The mission of the Barbara Ingram School for the Arts is to provide students with a rigorous, comprehensive, college preparatory curriculum rooted in intense pre-professional training in the arts that encourages excellence and success in their personal development as students, artists, and cultural leaders. The Barbara Ingram School for the Arts Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that exists to ensure success for students through cultivating and securing public and private funding for the school.
“Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes skyward, for there you have been and there you will always long to return”
-- Leonardo da Vinci

2012 photos: Equipment this year: My mainstays were the Fuji S100fs, Nikon D7000, and the new Fuji X-S1. I also used an underwater Fuji XP50 and a Nikon D600. The first three cameras all broke this year and had to be repaired. Trips this year: three Civil War Trust conferences (Shepherdstown, WV, Richmond, VA, and Williamsburg, VA), a week-long family reunion cruise of the Caribbean, another week-long family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with lots of in-transit time in Ohio and Indiana), and my 7th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including side trips to Zion, Bryce, the Grand Canyon, etc). Ego strokes: I had a picture of Miss DC, Ashley Boalch, published in the Washington Post. I had a photograph of the George Segal San Francisco Holocaust memorial used as the cover of Quebec Francais (issue 165). Not being able to read French, I'm not entirely sure what the article is about but, hey! And I guess what could be considered to be a positive thing, my site is now established enough that spammers have noticed it and I had to block 17,000 file description postings for Viagra and whatever else.. Number of photos taken this year: just below 410,000.
