Monday morning greetings to one and all,

A few weeks ago I shared some photos from the grand opening of the Caterpillar Visitors Center and also the Peoria Riverfront Museum here in Peoria, Illinois. I was able to get out since then and shoot some “glamour” shots of the CVC building durning the day and the night. It’s a good looking building and a photographers dream to shoot!

I hope that you’re going to have a great week to come and thanks as always for checking out my work!!!!

Monday morning Peoria greetings to one and all!

It was a long time coming, but the Caterpillar Visitors Center and Peoria Riverfront Museum had their grand openings this past Saturday! These projects have been talked about for years and it was great to see both of these buildings finally completed. This is going to be huge for the city of Peoria and I think that we’ll see other development downtown as well and that will be great!!!!

On Saturday, CVC and PRM had a joint ribbon cutting ceremony and the event started off with Caterpillar CEO Doug Oberhelman arriving on a new Caterpillar locomotive and it was pulling a number of Caterpillar products as well. It was one heck of a way to make an entrance!!!! A number of people responsible for making these projects happen gave some speeches and then the ribbon cutting happened! After that, both facilities were opened to the public and the crowds flocked in! I was only shooting photos at the CVC on Saturday and I’ll have to get over to PRM at some point soon!!!!

Here’s some of my shots from Saturday and the inside of the Caterpillar Visitors Center! Hopefully you’ll be able to make it to see both facilities and enjoy all the hard work that was put into these projects!

Have a great rest of the week and thanks as always for checking out my work!!!!

Tuesday morning Peoria greetings to one and all!!!!

For my friends here in the US, I hope that you have a safe and wonderful Labor Day Weekend! It’s going to be very nice to have a short work week!

This past week I was out shooting for the second year in a row at the Tee it up for the Troops charity event at Mt. Hawley country club here in Peoria. It’s an great event that has raised a bunch money nationally and locally here in Peoria as well! In the morning round of golf, all the golfers are current or retired military and Mt. Hawley and Peoria Country Club provide free golf to all participants. It’s a very nice event and I think that everyone has a great time!!!!

Here are a few of my snaps from the day to check out!

I hope that you have a fantastic week and thanks as always for checking out my work!!!!!
