We waited more than two weeks for a nice, warm day. No such luck.

Nonetheless, some pretty great results — celebrating downtown, despite the fog:

A while back, I donated an hour of photography time to the Crossroads Writers Conference fund raising auction; Kelly and Steve won the bid, and wanted to do a session to celebrate their engagement. (The Crossroads Writers Conference itself is in February, here in Macon.)
We started out in Washington Park, a favorite local playground for [...]
