Independence Day, 2008

As my blog readers know, I’ve been having some equipment problems recently. For Independence Day, however, my camera raised a flag and celebrated the long-overdue Unity — out of 446 photographs Friday (taken in about three hours of straight shooting), I kept 309, starred 185, and multi-starred 90. Remarkable. More: The first four-star images in, well, too long. Niiice.

To everyone attending: Thank you. An Independence Tonic much needed.

It’s been a hella week, with many long hours, twists, and turns — such that this long, Independence Day weekend is a welcome one.

…And after a great afternoon and evening Friday, it shows:

I enjoyed rudely getting in people’s faces, too. Here’s Heather:

“Always in the Way,” Says Heather. (“True,” Says Giles.)

You betcha. Sorry…;)

Meanwhile, Heather and Justin’s nephews were at the party — and were photogenic enough to earn their own gallery. Gotta love some kids having fun:

Sean and his older brother, Evan, were visiting Macon this weekend. Hope they all visit again soon — obviously, they enjoyed themselves:
