More Updates. And…

Posted 29 April 2008 | By Giles | Categories: Personal, Photography, Photos I Like, Shoots | 1 Comment

…a new gallery of photographs! This time from Riverside Cemetery here in Macon, taken on a [another —Ed.] photostroll with Gerald:

Valentine’s Memorial
And,

Point Taken
Yeah, there’s some depth to those titles — it’s about the ex, Valentine’s Day, and a cemetery (long story). But it was still a good shoot, and I’m excited about uploading the rest, [...]

Macon in April

Posted 28 April 2008 | By Giles | Categories: Photography, Photos I Like, Shoots | 1 Comment

Keeping in mind that I completely skipped Cherry Blossom, a collection of photographs taken in April, 2008. Including this one:

All Signs Point to Tucker’s
And this one:

Alley Behind Capricorn
…next door to the just-announced ($29-million!) Capricorn Center.
Also updated a couple of miscellaneous galleries, including the Automotive one:

GTI in Sunset Light (at Tucker’s Bar-B-Q)
I love my car! (Just [...]

High Falls State Park

Posted 27 April 2008 | By Giles | Categories: Photography, Photos I Like, Shoots | 1 Comment

Went on a photostroll with Gerald this afternoon, taking in 100+ photographs at High Falls State Park, almost 40 miles north of Macon. Enjoyed it very much — and added a few items to the database:

Towaliga, Downstream

(Not) Another Redneck
There’s more — see the rest of the High Falls gallery.
For the baker’s dozen, a demonstration that [...]

Rest of White Lightning

Have been working back through photographs, and wanted to post the rest of these photographs on the road to catching up back gallery posts.
Especially love this photo of Trish:

Moment of Contemplation
Beautiful moment from a beautiful woman, perhaps thinking about some more beautiful things in her life. Glad to have caught it — thanks, Trish!

Macon’s Party of the Year

…was tonight, in the absolutely beautiful 1836 Woodruff House on the campus of Mercer Law School:
It’ll take 2-3 weeks to sort, develop, and post the photos from both myself and Gerald. Please stay tuned to this channel for official updates — and enjoy these couple of previews:

Few More “Quickies”

Posted 19 April 2008 | By Giles | Categories: Equipment, Equipment Reviews, Personal, Photography | Comments Off

1. An interesting review of perhaps the most interesting new camera in a while (for me, at least): the Sigma DP-1, at Luminous Landscape. Bottom line: great RAW photos from a compact yet deeply flawed camera. Hmmmm — great photos with flawed hardware. Sounds like their lenses, too…;)
2. Thoughts on how Flickr’s 90-second videos, called [...]

Trying

Posted 16 April 2008 | By Giles | Categories: Personal, Photography, Site News | Comments Off

For a while now, I’ve been meaning to recode this blog such that there are two classes of posts:

“Post-type posts,” which are similar to this entry — because this type of entry is all that I’ve got set to go right now.
“Quickie-type posts,” which are snippets, things that aren’t worthy of a full post, but [...]

On the One Hand….

I’m caught up … with the design projects. Everything on the design “to do” list is current. Su-weet!
On the other hand … I’m like a month behind with photos. The list below is still pretty accurate, just not yet posted…;)
The “pretty accurate” refers to the Cherry Blossom stuff. Those who know me know that I [...]

Catching Up.

Posted 02 April 2008 | By Giles | Categories: Personal, Site News | 1 Comment

Been a “hella few months,” as they say around here.
Thankfully, finally, beginning to catch up. Here’s the to-post list, in order:

[the rest of] Conner’s Birthday
David’s Cocktail #1
David’s Cocktail #2
Sipsey (RI)
Cherry Blossom (TK, especially next Saturday’s street fair)

Should be done and posted within a few weeks, I’d say. Thanks for your patience.
Meanwhile, need to admit: been [...]
