A Slightly Different Focus

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 [...]

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, 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 [...]

Gerald and I headed up to Atlanta Friday, mostly to check a specific camera store for some look-and-touch you just can’t get online — and he hit a great deal on something he’d been thinking about for a long time. Thus, instead of spending the day wandering around Atlanta, we finished up our other stops [...]

Enjoyed a great photostroll with Gerald and Phillip last Saturday, starting with a quick stop in Preston, Georgia, followed by a longer-than-expected stop in Plains (home of President Jimmy Carter), Americus, and finally a shorter-than-expected stop in Andersonville. (We settled in just as they closed. Sheesh.) It was especially interesting to visit the Carter visitor’s [...]

Enjoyed wandering — and practicing — in and around Rose Hill Cemetery here in Macon. Got a few I like, too: Rose Hill Dec 08 – 14 Not the most original name, I’ll admit, but I didn’t feel like worry about naming each photograph tonight. Might revisit. Meanwhile, another: Rose Hill Dec 08 – 19 [...]

The Saturday after First Friday, Gerald and I enjoyed a photostroll in downtown Macon. Have to tell you: although not terribly long — 90 minutes, give or take — I enjoyed both revisiting downtown Macon in fall spendor and spending some photography time with a good friend. Thanks, Gerald. Some decent results, too. My favorite: [...]

As my blog readers know, I’ve been having some equipment problems recently. For Independence Day, however, my camera raised a flag and celebrated the long-overdue Unity — out of 446 photographs Friday (taken in about three hours of straight shooting), I kept 309, starred 185, and multi-starred 90. Remarkable. More: The first four-star images in, [...]

An attempt at visual storytelling on the blog tonight. Enjoy. Woke up this morning — far too early, but that’s another story — in Columbus, Georgia. I’d spent the night in the graciously-provided guest room of two of my very favorite people: Phillip and Neecee. Okay, it was actually napping after doing a photoshoot and [...]

…was a great time. Thank you! 12 photos made the cut, including not only a great portrait of you, Heidi, but several borderline-humorous takes on my friends Craig, John, and Tom. Check ‘em out. Yeah, I said Tom: Tom and the Open Door Policy With all due respect, sir: sorry, couldn’t resist…;) Have to say: [...]
