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 [...]

Cocktail Hour marked its return from the summer hiatus this past Thursday, and I was there with a camera. It was nice to see folks, including hosts Gerald and Autumn, also marking a return — this time, from their trip to England. Gerald was also using the occasion to start the celebration of his 40th [...]

Enjoyed Cocktail Hour this past Thursday with my good friends Miles and Trish, who hosted the get-together in their Magnolia Street home. Also appreciated the house cat, Pablo, for not only putting up with the crowd, but participating — mostly: Photographs of Pablo bookend the fifteen-photograph set, but there’s also good stuff in the middle. [...]

I’m working on the Garden Tour photographs this weekend, but couldn’t resist a dinner invitation from my good friends Miles and Trish. Before I knew it, there was a set of photographs ready to be uploaded. Including several of the official “Magnolia Boy:” Connor’s (Extreme) Close-Up He likes to grab the camera and stick his [...]

Enjoyed this Saturday on two fronts, starting with a tour of four of Macon’s gardens — taking, as usual, a slightly different focus: Flowers with Paper Background Shredded paper as mulch. Great recycling goin’ on here…! Then, next door, caught one of those photographs — which also happens to include a [very tiny — Ed.] [...]

One of those “interesting” days; had planned on visiting some Macon gardens today, but spent the “business” day, well, working. Thus, it was a pleasure to escape downtown tonight for First Friday. Starting with the discovery of some folks doing book design — right here in Macon: burt&burt art+design Then on to the Arts Exchange, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Please note: I’ve been working on Cherry Blossom Festival Parade, literally, all week. It takes time to sort and develop the best of six hundred photographs, and despite being behind on posting, I needed a break. Thanks for bearing with me. Update: 73 more photographs are uploading as I type this — check the gallery [...]
