Congrats to Janie and Churchey

Congrats to Janie and Churchey

Update: photographs posted. Appreciate your patience. I’ve know Janie and Churchey for most of the time I’ve lived in Macon; we have mutual friends — Calvin and Allison* especially. Originally, this event was to have been a little bigger, but it was scaled back to a simple, friendly, civil ceremony at the Courthouse in downtown [...]

Despite being out of town this weekend, I’ve managed to complete and post the photographs from this past week’s Cocktail Hour, hosted by Chris and Ellen. Okay, so there are only eight shots. It should be quick to post. Photographs like this: Linus Presides Awesome bookcase — anyone with Linus, Plato, and Naked Lunch on [...]

I was hoping to have the house, especially the office, completely set up by now. Well, uh … no. And not for a little while yet; the details are taking much, much longer than I’d anticipated. Naturally. So ahead of adding more at tonight’s Cocktail Hour, then more this weekend (details later), I decided to [...]

We waited more than two weeks for a nice, warm day. No such luck. Indeed, for the second session in a row, we suffered from fog. Sheesh. Nonetheless, some pretty great results — celebrating downtown, despite the fog: The view from Macon’s Rosa Parks Square, near City Hall. We also spent some time on the [...]

MagTard’s Launch Party — Sort Of

MagTard’s Launch Party — Sort Of

This past Friday night, at EJ’s loft in downtown Macon, MagTard held a launch party for their new CD. While it started at nine, I didn’t get there until almost 9:30 — but knew I had plenty of time before folks really got into the evening. Miles and Trish were there: I don’t get a [...]

Thanksgiving with the Zooks

Thanksgiving with the Zooks

One of recent year’s highlights, as far as I’m concerned, is celebrating the bounty that is Thanksgiving with Dan and Monica. Most of that has been about knowing great friends. Some, however, has to do with Dan’s simply-amazing turkey: Check Twice, Eat Once That title is a play on Norm Abram‘s approach to construction, someone [...]

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 [...]

Please note: I’m working backwards, from Friday’s event in downtown Macon, through a friend’s special event last weekend in upstate New York, to the past couple of weeks in Maine — all of which resulted in some great photographs. Despite a going non-stop since getting back, please stay tuned for another post this weekend, then [...]

In keeping with the narrative: as mentioned last time, I rolled back into town — from a great weekend in South Carolina — just in time to catch the last performance of Bragg Jam. Sweet. Bragg Jam 2009 covered a bunch of venues and dozens if not hundreds of musicians, with an estimated 5,000 attendees [...]

MagTard: The Recording Session

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 [...]
