What’s New

Summer is almost over and what a summer we have had.  It was beautiful and hot, not always good for the art shows but we will miss in the winter.   Just starting to print my work on canvas, so come to the show and check them out.

I would like to thank everybody for their thoughts and prayers. My wife Kristie has mostly recovered from a hip replacement in June.  She is walking without a cane, driving and is doing great..

“I’m La Shot Too”  note cards, mouse pads and coasters pages have been updated.  Check out what is now available in each!!

Many customers have purchased Kristie’s Pic-folios at the shows and have loved them.  A Pic-folio is a picture book that flips open and you can attach up to 14 pictures in them.  The outside is covered with a variety of scrapbooking papers with different themes.  Example: birthday, baby, wedding, cat, dog, boy, girl, sports, vacation and  more neutral flower and colored papers.  The pic-folios make great gifts for new moms, grandparents, wedded couples, highschool and college graduates or anyone who wants a little book holding wonderful memories of the people we love.  Come to the show, check them out.and see a demonstration.

I am excited about the new pictures I just printed in the darkroom. I brought out three new images from my hot air balloon ride over Tuscany, Italy.  It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life and the pictures make you feel like you were there standing next to me.   My customers have loved my new Irish landscapes.   They truly capture the green  landscape of Ireland and have been my most popular images this spring.  My new combination of matt colors of moss green, burgundy and tan parchment accent them beautifully.  From Greece I have three new sets: Greek Cafes, Greek Harbors and  Greek dogs hanging out on Santorini.  Look these up on the New Shots From La Shot page.

Check out my Show Schedule to see the my  fall lineup and come to the shows to see what’s new from the darkroom!!

Against all the odds, I am celebrating 26 years in business.  I can not say it feels like just yesterday when I started doing shows.  So many things have occurred over the last 26 years.  I married my wife Kristie, had two wonderful children, Kelsie & Jaryd, moved home and business twice, buried both parents, have done over 700 shows, traveled thousands of miles in 37 states and 8 European countries and have taken over 50,000 pictures.  At the shows I have survivied floods, tornados, 100 degree days and snow storms.

    Maybe it does not feel just like yesterday because I am turning 51 years old in February.   Wow, I have been doing shows for half of my life and have had the most amazing experiences.  I have two families, the one in Buffalo and the exhibitors on the show circuit are my family when I am away.  I found out early that you are never alone at an art show when you need help.  When you are sick, when a relative dies, when your booth is damaged by a storm, whether you are happy or sad, there is always somebody to help or talk to.  It is an amazing blessing!!!

    Last but not least I need to mention my customers.  I always say my customers are my friends and are the best.  They have been so loyal and kind over the years.  We have laughed and cried together.  We have put wonderful groupings together and so many of my "babies" have found happy homes.   I hope to share many of my greatest memories with you this year.

    Thank you for all those memories and I can not wait to create new ones with you this year.   My spring show schedule is up so let’s get together and share some good times and talk about the old.
