Giles – Terrific photos of the Derby Porch Party!
Thanks for taking wonderful pictures of of our friends and nieghbors from InTown, Macon and Atlanta.
You have of knack of capturing some of my favorite people and vistas. I like the way you use natural light and vary your focal length to draw attention to still life details and to highlight the personalities in your portraits.
Your non-obtrusive style makes for great shots of kids and grownup kids alike (and Beaudreaux too). I love the photo of the crowd watching the end of the race.
Thanks for recording the delicous food, the delightful company, the garden in bloom and some of the objects that make our house a home, but mainly thanks for catching the spirit of the day. And of course, you – as always- are a welcome guest.
Thank you, Pam and Dick

Awesome portrait of the boy, above, and some great portraits in your gallery, especially the girl jumping rope and the man holding his cup up (#17, currently). Well done. I’m glad the rain didn’t dampen the shoot.
