I discovered recently the Dallas Museum of Art online gift shop (www.shopDMA.org) is selling Lomo cameras, especially the Diana F+ camera. Lomo, short for lomography, cameras are usually cheap, plastic cameras that use either 35mm or 120 roll film. This includes Holga cameras, which are what I use, but are not being sold at the DMA.

Dick Dale and Jimmy Dale at the Dallas Museum of Art

Dick Dale and his son, Jimmy Dale, put on a great performance last night at the Dallas Museum of Art for their Summer Block Party. The concert was held in the Ross Avenue Plaza at the north end of the museum. It wasn’t standing room only, but the place sure was packed.

Dick Dale and Jimmy played an hour long set of only acoustic guitars. Wow! They can really make those string sing. They started out with Ghost Riders in the Sky and ended with Miserlou and a new song, which sounds really cool.

Dick Dale at the Summer Block Party

Tonight I will be attending the Summer Block Party at the Dallas Museum of Art. My main objective is to see legendary guitarist Dick Dale, who will be performing in the Ross Ave. Plaza.

For those that don’t know, Dick Dale is most famous for his song Miserlou, which is the opening song for the movie Pulp Fiction.

Not sure if I can manage a Holga. I’ll be taking DART downtown with a LL Bean folding chair. I definitely want to take my Nikon with my 300mm lens. Too many cameras, so few hands.

See you after the concert.
