Are You The Cameraman?: Photos of 4th annual Sidewalk Chalk Art Festival, Clayton, NY September 2, 2017

About this blog title

I cannot tell you how many times I have shown up at events with a couple of cameras around my neck, a gadget bag full of odds & ends and a lighting kit and have been asked that question. If it happened once every few years, that would be one thing. But it happens a LOT. It's like getting pulled over by the police and he's standing there with uniform, gun, flashing lights and asking him "Are you a cop?" I would love to come back with a witty reply, such as "No, I am Jesus. Don't you recognize my beard?" However, I cannot be that rude.

The 4th annual Sidewalk Chalk Art Festival in Clayton, NY took place yesterday, September 2, 2017. I was invited by organizer Karen Lago to be one of the artists who would be vying for a $100.00 prize. I was going to decline the invite because I really am not that much of an artist and I have never worked with chalk on a sidewalk before. However, I never got around to declining so the day arrived and I went on over. Turns out that I had great fun. I really enjoyed it and the weather was beautiful to. I drew a sunset or sunrise, however you wish to lookout it. Kenny Knapp took home the hundred dollar bill for his depiction of a river sunset.

Te Better Half's grand kids G & A had stayed over night Friday so they here with us Saturday morning, and went to the festival too. The event was open to kids of all ages, also with prizes.

The photos here were all snapped with an iPhone 6s.
