So Music Is Art last year was great.... At the time things where kinda crazy so I don't think I could ever really figure out what to do picture wise so I figured why not try some slide shows this should be some dancers and a pole the duration is the standard 5 seconds....

Allentown Art Festival the blog I'm not writtingCategory: art
So the blog I want to write I really can't .... One reason for this is in the past I have tried to take pictures of the art on my walls but I don't know it never seems to look right with reflection or taking at an angle or the flash hits it... Plus there is that tricky copyright thing also to consider as well... What I wanted to do was take a picture of every piece of art that I remember buying at Allentown and posting it on here now in some cases I could give credit to the artist but some I have no idea who did it... The other issue is that some artists are both at Allentown and The Elmwood Festival of the arts......
Yes I have An issue with the Festival and how they Treated MIA.... But at the same time I get that you wouldn't want to have people hear rock music as they look at art... I thought when both Festivals went at the same time was when they both where the best...Cause lets face it The art fest is great but those crowds some times are argh plus at MIA there was dancing and music and Yes sometimes Burlesque ... Also back then MIA was 2 days and a lot of stuff any you might need a little break..... Hey one year after all that I'm Pretty Sure I saw Robby Takac so if he can still go so can I....
Now some might say that the Allentown West festival is the one to go to but way to packed most of the time.... That is just because of the street width though and then those stands and such....
Yes there seems to be some people who are at the art festival every year...And Yes some of them I have bought art I really like multiple years.. Yes some of these people get people to come see their stuff through mailers or other means... But I also That There are people who have edgy or dark art. I'm don't get the Jewelry thing my self if you want that get it someplace else and not an art fest but those people could say the same thing about the people who make masks.... I think it is good to have a good Variety and I think the Art fest should have one more block on Delaware and one of the streets that goes down should be another block or maybe on that small street....
On Facebook 464 gallery posted some time back a link for Allentown submissions I hope that some great local artists get in...That doesn't mean that I will like there stuff... Hoping to see some cool art and maybe by some I'm kinda like one of those heavy tattooed people who doesn't have much space left... I have seen in past years some amazing stuff that is just to much... Like here it looked painted but it is really layers of paper.... Then sometimes the best looking stuff you can't and trying might be even worse (people watching)... So for those that go have a great time......

Pride Parade 2011Category: slideshow
Well I think this video has passed on Youtube not sure
So One odd thing is that since youtube has a 10 minute time limit if you have a bunch of pictures like me you have to change the duration .... Even if not I'm of the mind that you don't want to see one photo for 5 seconds even if the zoom does look pretty cool.... I couldn't find any way to change the duration to same time for all the pictures you have to do it for each one? Well here goes........

I always had that concern. That is why I didn't allow youtube videos for years on estrip but gave way once google bought them. They have utilities to download the videos from youtube. You could do that to back them up.

Well looks like it works the one downside to this though is if anyone wants pictures of what went down for there other page or something doing it this way there really isn't that....Also what happens if youtube loses the video or gets ride of it or shuts down or something?

1st SlideshowCategory: slideshow
So this Youtube slide show was just to test it out.... I still have to learn how to play with it and make the photos quicker or maybe not zoom so that I can do a bunch of pictures hoping to figure that out so I do the Parade on Wends and see what happens.......

(e:metalpeter), there is something wrong with that video. I thought it was just because you had uploaded it recently and youtube was processing it. But it's been more than 12 hours now and it is still not available...

I still like the slide show Idea I think 3 seconds is good 2 seconds to fast and guessing 5 seconds is to long. But the slide shows I've seen and liked I didn't create.... But again with you tube being video it isn't like a picture site or other website where they have so many pictures and there isn't a time and you have a slider to determine how quick or slow it goes..... I think the answer since one has to upload all the pictures anyways is to do multiple slide shows...... That is what I will try next..... Thinking a good test for that might be Music Is Art Festival last year.... I had so many pictures I couldn't even begin to figure out a way to post them that seemed to make any sense really ...
Yikes! Yeah, way too fast. Pride Parade on speed.
Okay, I totally changed my mind about slideshows. I am not a big fan of this format. I mean I like the zoom but it goes way fast and there are some awesome pics in there that you can't barely see because they zoom by.
It was a good try though. Maybe instead just post your favorite 5-20 photos although in this case it is hard to do because there are so many good ones.
