Barack Hussein Obama, a black man, has been elected the 44th president of the United States. Wow. I’m a Georgia Voter Congrats also to Congressman Marshall. Despite some disagreements, I’m happy to see Jim prevail — in a very tough environment. Shame that Jim Martin seems not to have joined the party. Two outta three [...]

Wasn’t sure what to expect from an overnight in Dobbs Ferry, New York. What I got was fantastic — not only a great place (including wireless internet), courtesy of a longtime family friend, but a today-only street fair to boot. Once again in the right place at the right time. Further, not twenty minutes into [...]

Hard to believe, but I’ve been here for almost two weeks. One the one hand, I’m eager to get back to Macon. I miss my kids cats, my community, and my home. On the other, being here has been pretty magical. Take this photograph from a just-after-tropical-storm coastline, for instance: Post-Storm Surf Right place, right [...]

In Maine, that is: Ogunquit Beach, Across the River The view from my room. Not too shabby, even in extreme wide-angle…;) More over the next few weeks days. Thanks for checking back. Update: ‘Nuther, from Sunday: Perkins Cove Boats, Ogunquit Definitely some emotion in this, well, homecoming (for lack of a better term). I didn’t [...]

Okay, let’s get this out of the way up front: I haven’t been posting — or photographing — enough recently. But, there’s a good reason, one regular readers of this site know — equipment that’s not up to snuff. So some changes have been in order. As of yesterday, those changes are nearly complete. It’s [...]

Sorry for the lack of updates to the blog recently; been behind the work curve. On the positive side, my internet issues seem to have cleared up…. An interesting — and pretty accurate, IMHO — take on the photography business right now: The Cloud is Falling. Weddings, indeed…;) Rolling Stone is switching to a “regular” [...]

…but have been otherwise occupied. Thus, there are a few stacked up. Next time you have a moment, pull up to the computer with your favorite beverage and enjoy: Metallophile, my favorite font in a while — nice. This has been around for a while, but it’s still a great storm photograph. Just wow. Also [...]

This week’s Cocktail Hour was hosted by Heather Braun, at her new place in the Baconsfield area of Macon. Heather has a wonderful home, that she — deservedly — was delighted to show off: Heather, in Front of New Home As usual, it was a great time: Carmen, Enjoying (the Neighborhood) Carmen purchased Gerald’s house [...]

…was, as always, a great time. Many thanks to Tagg and Angelic for hosting. Yeah, Angelic: Angelic’s Party A great time. Many thanks to all. More photos Friday and then again Monday/Tuesday. (Update: Done. 10 photographs in all.) Thanks for your patience.
