Thanks to all of you who helped make this a good art festival season. This was my third season doing festivals and I’m starting to get a better feel for what it will take to be successful in this market.
Your support and encourgement are truly appreciated!
This photo was taken on a recent tour and tasting at Chateau St. Croix Winery in St. Croix Falls, WI. The winery does host several events throughout the year, including weddings. When the weather is good, weddings are held under the Wedding Tree.
Since it is late Summer, here is one from the Minnesota State Fair. This was taken a few years ago, but I have only recently edited the image.
I have finally been able to spend more time editing photos and I should have some new images to show very soon. I’ll be adding these to my portfolio for showing and I’m eager to get feedback at the Lakeville Art Festival in a few weeks.
I’ve done four art festivals so far in 2011 and currently have two festivals remaining. Here is a link to see the rest of my schedule.
I have been spending time trying to grasp the ins and outs of social media. I’m learning a lot and, hopefully, information will flow across several of the available media.
I’m currently on Facebook (Bruce Palaggi Photography), Twitter (@bpalaggiphoto), and now the new Google+. Please follow along on the social networks!
I know, I know… This has been a busy year (personally and professionally), but I’m trying to get a handle on my online presence. Hopefully, there will be more frequent blog updates in the future.
I just learned that I have been selected as this week’s National Arts Program “Featured Artist.” This came as quite a surprise, but it was great getting the recognition!
I’ll have a few photos on display this holiday season at the Minneapolis/St.Paul International Airport. The photos are part of the 1st Annual Exhibit at MSP sponsored by the National Arts Program. For 28 years The National Arts Program® has held annual exhibits featuring the art works of employees and their families in more than 450 large and small cities, counties, airports, hospitals and other organizations. If you’re travelling over the holidays, I hope that you have time to check out the exhibit.
The exhibit runs from November 18, 2010 through February 28, 2011.

Here are some shots from a recent trip to San Diego, CA. It has been several years since I was able to spend a good amount of time in San Diego and I was immediately reminded of how wonderful the weather is in that fine city! Upper 70s during the daytime and upper 60s at night. Though that was slightly lower than normal, the climate there is probably the most even and enjoyable in the U.S. IMHO…
I was able to take some photos that I liked and I hope that you do too!
