Historic Macon at the Telephone Exchange

Posted 27 September 2009 | By Giles | Categories: Business, Personal, Photography, Photos I Like, Shoots | Comments Off

Please note: I’m working backwards, from Friday’s event in downtown Macon, through a friend’s special event last weekend in upstate New York, to the past couple of weeks in Maine — all of which resulted in some great photographs. Despite a going non-stop since getting back, please stay tuned for another post this weekend, then [...]

MagTard at Bragg Jam

MagTard at Bragg Jam

Posted 28 July 2009 | By Giles | Categories: Business, Photography, Photos I Like, Shoots | Comments Off

In keeping with the narrative: as mentioned last time, I rolled back into town — from a great weekend in South Carolina — just in time to catch the last performance of Bragg Jam. Sweet. Bragg Jam 2009 covered a bunch of venues and dozens if not hundreds of musicians, with an estimated 5,000 attendees [...]

As mentioned last time, I was headed out of town Wednesday. Indeed, I rolled back in around 11 Saturday night — just in time to catch a couple of songs from the MagTard midnight performance at Bragg Jam … before collapsing from exhaustion. Stay tuned, as MagTard’s photographs will be posted tomorrow or Weds. Charleston, [...]

On Savannah … and an Anniversary

On Savannah … and an Anniversary

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 [...]

I’ve been meaning to do a book design post for a while now, and this morning added a new category — named, appropriately enough, book design — to the site. I’ll add another post to the category in the next couple of weeks, then more soon, covering both new and back titles. Glamour in Six [...]

Site Theme Redux (Updated)

Site Theme Redux (Updated)

Posted 22 April 2009 | By Giles | Categories: Business, Site News, Technique | 1 Comment

Updated 4x. This past weekend, I spent some time updating the site’s “look,” with a new theme and, especially, bigger photographs in the posts themselves. It’ll be a few days — even a week or two — before all of the kinks are worked out, so please forgive if things are a little wonky. Indeed, [...]

Holiday Cocktail Hour

Posted 12 December 2008 | By Giles | Categories: Business, Equipment, Personal, Photography, Photos I Like, Politics, Shoots, Site News | 1 Comment

Thursday means Cocktail Hour, which means that since I was able to go — not always a given — I was out and about with the camera. Heh. Tonight’s Hour, hosted by Thad and Rebecca, was in their home, beautifully decorated for the holidays. (“I spend a little time every day,” Rebecca says.) Which would [...]

Giving in

Posted 30 November 2008 | By Giles | Categories: Business, OTA, Personal, Quickies | 2 Comments

…to some so-called “modern conveniences:” I’ve joined FaceBook. Much pressure to do MySpace, too, but resisting. For now…;) Update: FaceBook has this tool which mines your email for potential contacts — very cool. While I admit, I was a little concerned about entering said password on another site, it wound up finding and sending out [...]

Happy Thanksgiving

As I’ve said many times, one of the primany reasons I live in Macon is the people I’ve come to know and appreciate. Case in point: Thanksgiving. I’m delighted to be amongst friends here in Macon. As one of those friends, Dan (who happened to host today’s get-together), assured another guest earlier tonight, I can [...]

Catching Up, Part Four

Posted 21 November 2008 | By Giles | Categories: Business, Equipment, Personal, Photography, Photos I Like, Politics, Quickies, Shoots | Comments Off

Finally, almost current: photographs from a trip this past weekend along the Flint River, near Albany, Georgia. In the spirit of “a slightly different focus,” let me get my favorite shot out of the way immediately: Canoes (with Grass) Yeah. Meanwhile, there was much more to the trip — including a better-than-amazing campground the second [...]
