A Visit To Cartwright’s Music & Repair
Cartwright’s Music & Repair Shop will be closing its retail doors in a few weeks time. This is a major bummer. So I stopped by on Saturday during the SummerFest to get a few shots in while I was in the neighborhood.
There were a lot of folks in the shop taking advantage of the major sale, so I didn’t get many photos taken. I’m hoping to go back before the store closes.
In the photo above, Ken was explaining to a customer the merits of various types of bows. It all sounded perfectly reasonable to me, not that I recall now what was said. But you can be darned sure Ken knew what he was taking about.

Thanks to Ken for letting me come in and take pictures from time to time. I really appreciate it.

I took this photo one night a week or two ago of a window display at Cartwright’s Music Repair Shop on 3rd Ave. Guitars are beautiful creatures.

This music notes gate lives next to Cartwright’s Music on 3rd Ave. I took this last month, but forgot all about it. I think it’s rather awesome.

When I was at Cartwright’s on Saturday night for a concert, I took advantage of the situation and took more photos of the musical instruments lining some of the walls. I adore this guitar — don’t know if it’s electric, acoustic, or a hybrid — so it’s the one I’m posting. I know, brilliant of More >

Help Get KENC Radio Back On The Air

I mentioned this the other day, but wanted to highlight it again because I feel it deserves more attention. Please note: I’m not affiliated with the station, I just want to see it get back on the air. The FCC recently shut down KENC Radio, a community-based radio station here in Stayton which was run More >
Scenes From A Radio Station

Yesterday I featured some photos from Cartwright’s Music. Ken Carwright, owner of the music shop, also runs a new community-based radio station, KENC (AM 1620) in a room next to the shop. He let me poke around in there and take some pictures. It’s a nice setup, complete with a large window facing 3rd Ave. More >

Thanks, Dave. No shift. I uploaded these for a post on my photoblog. They’ll get uploaded to Zooomr, too. I don’t get out to shoot photos that often, so I spread my postings out on Zooomr.
