Sheboygan North Expo

Posted on May 7, 2011 by dude

The SheVegas project had 2 overriding principles, include as many people as possible, and no contact or preparation, shoot and gather as a Citizen, not an entity. During that period, Sheboygan North High School treated me like no other, they welcomed me into their school, without question, or judgement. Tonight I hope to shoot my third Expo, why? because I likes it. Also to mark the return of SheVegas, as it was intended, yet with a twist, I’m ready to talk to people, and ask for a little more. What that means, I’m actually going to identify my self and ask for small favors, like tapping into the sound board, and a place to stash some stuff. SheVegas II Electric Boogaloo is ready to redefine online journalism, get ready for a smooth ride into the future.

World United

Posted on March 30, 2011 by dude

I don’t want to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.

I don’t want to set the world on fire.

Don’t even want the next new thing.

I just want to preach the gospel according to Rodney King, play in the water, make you smile, and zillions of other things.

World Photographers Union – Setback in Wisconsin

Posted on March 13, 2011 by dude

Remember the 80′s? If so, Why?

You ran into a photographer at an event in Wisconsin, you happily traded notes, checked out each others work in the daily rag, sweet, another view.

Turns out the Union I talked about back in the day…

Are you letting this guy eat your pudding?

Sheboygan Radio Legend Proposes Lakefront Roller Coaster

Posted on January 13, 2011 by dude

When I think Roller Coaster, I’m thinking love.

Radio Ben Olson, not to be confused with Super Man friend Jimmy Olson, wasn’t looking at a roller coaster, he’s the kind of guy that needs a USB cable and stuff like that. Ben probably was thinking about Sheboygan’s Lakefront, yet, not as much as he may be today.You see, when Ben Olson dipped his peanut butter roller coaster in his chocalate covered city, he forwarded the idea of the terminus, from one of “something”, to one of something tangible.

More than 25,000 photographers responded.Photographers ranged from first-time users to international photojournalists and newspaper shooters. Included in these were 36 Pulitzer Prize winners.

The project was created by Rick Smolan and David Elliot Cohen, the team behind the New York Times #1 Bestseller: A Day in the Life of America.
