Cocktails, a Cute Smile, and an Interesting Quote

Cocktails, a Cute Smile, and an Interesting Quote

Posted 30 April 2009 | By Giles | Categories: Personal, Photography, Photos I Like | Comments Off

Enjoyed Cocktail Hour this evening at Kim Wold’s. As my “official” Cocktail Hour postings go, it’s the second in a row for her — but there have been three in the interim that I have not been able to get to.
Sorry.
Meanwhile, many thanks to Kim for hosting. (Again.)
And a familiar-yet-still-cute boy, who tonight, was driving [...]

Historic Macon’s Party of the Year

Historic Macon’s Party of the Year

Posted 26 April 2009 | By Giles | Categories: Photography, Photos I Like, Shoots | 2 Comments

Update: Full set posted, 66 photographs in all.
Original post: Enjoyed the evening at the Historic Macon Foundation Party of the Year, held tonight at the former Karsten-Denson building on Third Street, downtown.
Which, while lacking air conditioning on the year’s first ninety-degree day (in April…!), was a great time. Further, this fantastic old space was perfect [...]

In terms of image quality, I honestly feel that the Hay Day photography is a disappointment; I’m rarely good in a “formal” setting, as the superior quality of the [all too few —Ed.] candids in that set prove (along with that one carefully-planned group shot). I’ve been wondering if I’m getting too fixed in my [...]

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, I [...]

Full Hay Day 2009 Set Posted

Posted 21 April 2009 | By Giles | Categories: Photography, Photos I Like, Shoots | 1 Comment

A total of 72 photographs have been posted to the full Hay Day 2009 gallery. Enjoy.
Before you head on over to the photographs, know that in a couple of places, I made the choice not to crop down the cutout poses — felt the subjects were either better off without, or where it was just [...]

Easter Tapas — and Fun

Easter Tapas — and Fun

Posted 20 April 2009 | By Giles | Categories: Personal, Photography, Photos I Like | Comments Off

Enjoyed Easter weekend with Dan and Monica and selected portions of the Magnolia Street Mob. What a fun group of folks.
The theme was Tapas, with a huge selection of little stuff instead of one huge ham (Connor notwithstanding…;)
Speaking of whom: here he is, looking especially pleased with the just-consumed chocolate kiss:

Unlike Connor, Julian is not [...]

Hay Day, 2009

Hay Day, 2009

Posted 18 April 2009 | By Giles | Categories: Featured Articles, Personal, Photography, Photos I Like, Shoots | 3 Comments

Update: Full set posted. More here.
Original post: One of those detours I mentioned a while back was an ad for Hay Day, a mini-festival at the beautiful Hay House mansion in downtown Macon:

Hay Day was today, and I enjoyed the heck out of it.
I didn’t make a big deal, as I’m far enough behind that [...]

At Long Last,

Posted 16 April 2009 | By Giles | Categories: Photography, Photos I Like, Shoots | 2 Comments

…the rest of the Cherry Blossom parade photographs have finally been posted.
Forgive the delay. In addition to a frankly insane schedule the past couple of weeks, I’m in the midst of working on the house — which means dust, distractions, sweat, more distractions, headaches, and, have I mentioned, distractions?
Anyway, to the newly-added goodness:

And, of course, [...]

Great Cap to a Looooong Week

Posted 04 April 2009 | By Giles | Categories: Featured Articles, Personal, Photography, Photos I Like, Shoots | 4 Comments

Update, Monday 6 Apr: Finally, finally got to the parade photographs this afternoon, only to be besieged with some sort of “unsupported image format” error. For cryin’ out loud — it’s always something. Back ASAP.
To call it a long week would be an understatement; aside from being sick last weekend, which completely upended the to [...]
