I went to a casino night and silent auction for charity held by the Kansas City Ad Club last night. They had some really great auction items and I ended up getting two framed art photographs.
Here's one of them. It's by Lyndon Wade.
The print I have is even more vivid than the image looks on your monitor.
The other was a collage-like black and white photo by Aaron Newell. I couldn't find it on his website, but it's a blurred image of a woman bathing in a stream with fallen trees on the bank behind her.
Now I get to decide where to put them! I think the first one may end up in our bathroom, simply because the colors complement our turquoise walls so nicely. The other will probably go on our living room wall.
Best of all, I managed to double my gambling chips from the $25 they handed me when I walked in to $50, so I saved that much off the purchases. Oh, and I won three pizzas from Wheat State Pizza in a raffle. All in all, quite a nice evening.
Thank you for attending and thank you especially for bidding!

The Lyndon Wade images are amazing ... although I do get confused when people write about themselves in the third person. :)
