BY MAGGIE BORKHOLDER

It was the quintessential summer evening. WGLT’s Jazz fest in Downtown Bloomington this past Saturday was the perfect place to be. Our quaint downtown square became home to families picnicking on the lawn, babies snoozing to the sweet jazz-y sway of the live ‘open-air’ concert, and lovers dancing the sun behind the centuries old buildings towering over our little piece of this place. It was a night to see old friends, an evening to greet neighbors, a special afternoon to dance the weight of the world right off your shoulders. The air was fresh, almost crisp, and the strum of the live music was intoxicating enough to soothe anyone’s soul. Folks snuggled up under the sun-setting sky Saturday to the tune of local favorites Hip Pocket and Carle’s ice cream, upbeat Texan visitors Hot Club of Cow Town, and the blues-y soul-filled crows of Carolyn Wonderland. Top that off with iconic favorite, Budweiser, and the 11th installment of the WGLT Summer Concert was sure to be a hit. And a hit it turned out to be with a reported 8,000 in attendance.

anthony saluto gallery/studio move

as before, i am moving the gallery and studio back to my loft on the fifth floor above elroys in the livingston building. take the elevator and call first for full service portraits, from children to groups and everything in between. commercial has been dominating my shooting schedule. more often than not jobs are booked from callers viewing my blog.www.worldsbestphotos.blogspot.com , i consider lack of customer convenient parking to have played a major role in limited traffic i would hoped to have experienced. yet commercial and portrait calls kept coming. i may have been more booked than i really want to be. the gallery was much like a long art or trade show, and with so many rotating through downtown over the course of an average year i consider it successful venture. the feed back and appreciation from gallery and studio customers was over whelming at times. i have been doing this 35 years, and still feel like i am practicing. i have many new products and prints i hope to be working on. i have about 45 head shots on the books along with some food photography for a restaurant chain. i completed my aerials for the shopping center on rabb road. and since going digital 4 years ago, i have an opportunity to produce the widest variety of subjects from personal to commercial than i could ever hope for. my gallery, was designed to be a giant portfolio showing my range of work. the range seems to hold my interest and challenge me. as for all the 35 artists living upstairs downtown, i highly recommend the experience of a solo gallery to develop new client work. if i had to rely on print sales off the wall it wouldn't have worked as well. what worked well for me was the range of assignments that i was able to discuss and or do.

stroll the hill will continue soon, bnstyle as well.

sthma, i am so invested now in digging up the truth and offering my own experiences opinions, i doubt if i will go long without new writings. a revenue stream would have to exist and being off the street and as available as i have been to comments will surely alter my story content. because as long as this plan is unfolding there will be situations that i wont think are making since. i will want to generate stories to support such a reconsideration. stay tuned.

boutiques are the future of downtown, parking is vital for there survival, you need meters and need to price them high enough so you have a 15% vacancy to make them work for customers. this told to a room full of elected officials and business people in a meeting atop state farm, by a traffic expert from fl, in conjunction with farr associates a few weeks ago.

a summer flower offered by farmers market exhibitor's, i picked up this on one of my many summer morning treks to coffee hound.

melissa ash, public relations for u.s. cellular coliseum is exhibiting the facility use features near the 50 yard line. i asked melissa how things are progressing for the coliseum. "i think the facility should be considered a major compliment to the twin cities overall quality of life, and nationally on a show by show basis we are tacking above average ticket sales" ash says.

upcoming event posters on display showcase the promising entertainment options the twin cities has coming and many thousands will be glad they could partake. www.uscellularcoliseum.com should have plenty of information on upcoming events.

still more talent than we know what to do with

local jewelry designers take to market

summer craig, a state farm employee by day, a jewelry designer by otherwise. I'm starting to think a prerequisite in h.r. must be a desire to multi task. quite coincidentally i keep running into art and design people at events where when i ask if they have a day job, the answer is state farm. its great to know you really can have it both ways.

summer craig and her partner designer sister-in law kristie craig have been launching their jewelry line for abut 18 months. summer tells me they do mostly art shows, home shows, and has a home party system. www.bbellissimo.com what could be an interesting twist to the marketing endeavor is the very well known mark shale chain located in many major markets including mag mile in chicago is carrying their line. so accessorize in bn style. summer attended b.h.s. and isu.

decototive wreaths were a hot seller for trailside gardens. owners jeff and kim thomas wrap up a solid year of harvesting freshness for the twin cities. trailsdiegarden1@verizon.net

turkey cookies go by the sheet for those stocking up for thanksgiving, exhibted by kellys bakery.

a renee' samples chocalate covered sesame seeds along with communicating their wide ranges of products and services like catering. a renee' table trim, while in between greeting visitors to the booth, planning a layout for an upcoming catered event is underway.
did we mention paul dunn has a special subscription for anyone not currently subscribing to the pantagraph. free online vs. the centuries old tradition of a hard copy, times they are a changing. amazon announced a new reader wireless reader that will handle publications form newspapers to books and will utilize technology similar to cell phone connections, but with no fees or contracts. whether your into hard copy or soft copy the Internet gets better every day, i for one am thrilled to be around for the transition. after selling some 100 million magazines, papers, books, etc. its fascinating to monitor the magazine people adapt their content and features in various web presentations.
