Thai fruit carving demonstration
I finally had a chance to go to the Living Traditions Festival at the City/County Building this year, and photographed several of the demonstrating craftspeople for the Highway 89 project. As always with this project, I am so impressed by how engaged people are in their passions, and how willing they are to share their knowledge and enthusiadm. The artist who carved these fruits and vegetables studied at traditional art school for 4 years and then 9 months with a Thai carving specialist. All for a display that will last a day.
I'm headed to Montana tomorrow for another push on this project. My list of essential photos grows shorter, but further apart. The next trip after this one is Arizona. Talk about a wardrobe change. It's going to be 70 degrees in Choteau this weekend. I'm not thinking about the temperatures in Phoenix until I have to. Like Scarlett O'Hara, "I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow." Or maybe next week. Tomorrow I'm in Montana.
