A long-time book designer, Giles is known for finding amazing details in everyday scenes. The phrase, "a slightly different focus" is used to describe his style in portraiture, event photography, and More →
Note: Been offline for a while; besieged with computer hard-drive problems and complications regarding the house work. Worse, I’ve written — and lost — the Snapshots post twice now, with a third, partially-completed attempt currently saved as a draft. Will try to get back to before the holiday weekend, but in any case, Happy Independence [...]

This past week, I got a chance to visit a MagTard practice session — specifically such that I could take some photographs of the band at work.
It was in the Zook’s “band room,” and usually for a practice, the front curtains were open. That was at my request, such that with a fast lens and [...]
Settling in for a long weekend in front of the computer, starting with a combined photography post — involving all of the items mentioned in the title: cocktails, cars, and some “new” cute cats. Four Cs, posted up.
Okay!
Working backwards, I took literally a dozen photographs at Cocktail Hour last night; I don’t know whether I [...]
Last weekend, I very much enjoyed being out and about doing photography.
At the same time — and to me perhaps the only thing better — I got to run the GTI down one of America’s greatest roads: the Blue Ridge Parkway.
My car is over-equipped for most of the roads it encounters. A GTI is the [...]
I’ve been out and about recently, but arrived back in town just in time to meet up with the friends that make up the band called Magnificent Bastard.
Except that isn’t correct any more; there’s a new drummer, whom I didn’t know, and an “official” name change to go with that switch — to MagTard.
Can’t say [...]
Enjoyed Cocktail Hour this past Thursday with my good friends Miles and Trish, who hosted the get-together in their Magnolia Street home.
Also appreciated the house cat, Pablo, for not only putting up with the crowd, but participating — mostly:
Photographs of Pablo bookend the fifteen-photograph set, but there’s also good stuff in the middle. Like this:
Love [...]

Finished up the Garden Tour photographs on Tuesday, then wound up uploading them several times to correct timeouts, misnaming, and other problems. Finally, though, 168 photographs in all grace the gallery.
It’s flowers, sure:
And a reminder that some of these are actual gardens:
What I like perhaps even more on a tour like this are not the [...]

I’m working on the Garden Tour photographs this weekend, but couldn’t resist a dinner invitation from my good friends Miles and Trish. Before I knew it, there was a set of photographs ready to be uploaded.
Including several of the official “Magnolia Boy:”
Connor’s (Extreme) Close-Up
He likes to grab the camera and stick his face into the [...]
Terrell’s been mentioned here many times, most recently last week when he hosted Mark Brooker’s good-bye party at his downtown Macon gallery, the SoChi.
I returned there this afternoon to do a portrait session of him together with his two kids, in search of a photograph for a Macon Food and Culture magazine article on Father’s [...]
Three years ago today, I borrowed my friend Gerald’s Canon Digital Rebel to get some “extra” shots from his wedding.
It was from that experience, without any doubt, that I realized the potential of today’s digital photography. [And only three years ago. My, how we've grown.... —Ed.]
Thus, it’s a great pleasure to use a digital photograph [...]
