Texas Stadium Awaits Demolition

We dropped my wife off at the airport so she could visit family in Mexico and I stopped to shoot this on the way home: Texas Stadium in Irving, former home of the Dallas Cowboys awaiting demolition. Arlington down the road offered Cowboys owner Jerry Jones a better deal, including huge tax breaks so Irving in the end will soon have a vacant lot. You can just see downtown Dallas in the distance. Is this about politics? I don't know, but it is about winners and losers when communities bid (and bet) on sports franchises. link to image

Butler Institute of American Art 73rd. Mid-Year Exhibition

I have had this image, Night Game, accepted into the Annual Juried Show: 73rd Mid-Year Exhibition at Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio. I am particularly pleased because my first photography class was at the Butler, a class that sent me on this journey with a camera. The show runs from June 28th to August 23rd.
