A Slightly Different Focus

Please note: After eight months stuck working on the house, I got on the road. In other words, I’ve got three months’ worth of photography trips to post — and will do just that over the next few weeks. Thanks for checking back. Sapelo is one of my favorite places on Earth. My good friends [...]

I embarked on “some work on the house” about seven months ago now. Somewhere in there, it turned into a major remodel. We started around the first of October, with a tight schedule aiming for Thanksgiving. Within a couple of weeks, we were hoping for the New Year. Then January, then February. Things were mostly [...]

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 [...]

It’s been a screwy couple of weeks, with unexpected details finishing up construction around the house, several folks falling down stairs — including yours truly, hereafter known as “Mr. Grace” (not), and sweet Trish, who did some damage to herself on the trip down (no pun intended) — and an all-too-short visit to Florida. Get [...]

Sapelo Island, off the coast of Georgia, has become one of my favorite places to go. It’s relaxing, it’s peaceful, and, at the beach we stay at, it’s possible to see for miles and miles — in either direction — without seeing a house or any sort of development. Ultimately, however, it’s as much about [...]

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 [...]

This past week, I got a chance to visit a MagTard practice session — specifically such that I could take some photographs of the band at work. It was in the Zook’s “band room,” and usually for a practice, the front curtains were open. That was at my request, such that with a fast lens [...]

Three years ago today, I borrowed my friend Gerald’s Canon Digital Rebel to get some “extra” shots from his wedding. It was from that experience, without any doubt, that I realized the potential of today’s digital photography. [And only three years ago. My, how we've grown.... —Ed.] Thus, it’s a great pleasure to use a [...]

Update: Links fixed. Sorry for the error! It’s after midnight Friday, and the promised Garden Tour photographs haven’t been posted yet. Sorry. As if that’s not bad enough, last night — my first available photo-editing time since getting back in town — was spent out and about, first at Cocktail Hour, then at Mark Brooker’s [...]

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, [...]
