Two weekends ago — indeed, only hours after photographing the Rose Hill sunset — I was on the road, heading to the last hike of this season: Grayson Highlands and the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area, both part of the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests. My guide, as always on trips such as these, [...]

Continuing the recent “sunset series,” I spent last Friday evening together with Gerald, wandering around Rose Hill — one of our favorite test areas. While not quite as colorful as the two earlier in the week, it was still a nice evening; we enjoyed the ‘stroll. Since the locale was so familiar, we resolved to [...]

Please note: This post was written several days ago, but for some reason didn’t get published to the front page. Apologies for the delay. Earlier this week, John Cantwell and I went for a couple of evening photostrolls. Sunday’s, as Sunset #1, has already been posted. This post is about Tuesday’s: Macon Sunset #2. As [...]

Went for a photostroll this past Sunday with John Cantwell, enjoying a beautiful evening and some gorgeous golden light. We wandered from downtown to Riverside, at the top of the a nearby hill, covering all sorts of different territory. Starting with the Macon Transport Authority’s new pride and joy: New Bus Terminal (at Sunday Sunset) [...]

…and let me bring a camera. More than that: it was a big party. Their “85th,” or their combined birthday (and cumulative years) celebration, at SoChi, downtown Macon. With his band, MagTard. And guest performers, Flaco Torres and Mother Cunt. [Not a typo. —Ed.] Hell, yes. The associated gallery was posted last week, but due [...]

Please note: I’ve added a few updates to the remodeling gallery (latest — 10/30), for those following along. (Thanks.) More soon. While my house remodeling continues, I’m much more restricted on what I can work than I imagined. There have been several power problems, and I’m without my big computer for days at a stretch [...]

Let me please lead off with an — or, should I say, another — apology for taking so long. Since getting home from Maine, absolutely nothing has gone according to plan. Well, in reality since long before that … but that’s another story. (Which I might even share someday…;) Meanwhile, visible progress on the house [...]

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, [...]

Sorry for the quiet; been running, running in about fifteen directions the past few months — most of them not near the web site. More on that in a few weeks. Meanwhile…. Enjoyed the heck out of a session with the local band MagTard last week. Posted up a few photographs yesterday, but am only [...]

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 [...]
