New Feature Section Added: Buffalo Bill Posters

Post by Mike Jackson »

Hi all,
Last weekend we loaded up the van and went to a skate board contest in Cody, WY. After the contest, we spent about three or four hours at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center before heading home.

The center allowed flash photography, so I took the Nikon D70 inside and shot quite a few pictures of the old historic posters. I created a new section tonight and added a link to the green site navigation bar.

Besides the posters, I shot a photo of a reverse glass sign in the Buffalo Bill section. It was a very nice vintage gold leaf piece.

PS, in case anyone is interested, Tyler and Corey won gold medals at the Cowboy State Games in the skate board competition. Darla also won a medal. You can see a few photos and read more about it at Tyler's web site:

...Mike, I think Buffalo Bill had one of my ol' relatives "famous cowboy, Bill Pickett" riding for him at one time. ...Your photos look great. I'd like to see closer details of the "dingbats" on the gold sign, if you have any.

...And your ripping family are awesome too. I wish that my mom (84 yo) could do a ROCK TO FAKIE.... Darla is rad!
