Late Winter/Mid terms

As we get closer to Spring I am looking forward to getting out and finding more opportunities to take pictures. There is no shortage of interesting things to take pictures of where I live. The workload for all the classes I signed up for is very real at this point and after next week I will be enjoying Spring Break. I don’t have any plans yet, just a few ideas. I had several ideas for projects and one was making an entire page on here with pictures of all the fountains in Kansas CIty. There are a lot of them and it wouldn’t be right without the fountains at Kauffman. I really don’t think you have experienced this city without feeling the mist from the fountains at Kauffman or got a splash of water from a homerun landing in the fountain. My Dad told me a story about going with the boy scouts as a child to see the Kansas City Athletics play baseball at Municipal Satadium which was at 22nd and Brooklyn. The Athletics are in Las Vegas now and the Royals have been the home team for well over 56 years now. I’m looking forward to Spring and opening day. It’s been a long Winter for me. Most of my artistic output this year will be primarily photo and video as I work on developing them as skill sets. I have a tremendous amount of creative energy and just using it with music seems to be limiting myself to just one form of expression. I’m finding more balance every day.

BMA Tower/One Park Place 700 W 31st St Kansas City, MO

In 1963 when this building opened it was the first high rise tower in Kansas City after city hall which interestingly, was built in 1936. One Park Place sits three miles South of downtown across from MCC Penn Valley campus on 31st St. I took this picture in late February 2025.
