A Slightly Different Focus

…was back on February 28th, and was a really fun time.
Here’s the birthday boy, looking cute as ever:

Couple of really great parent-and-kid shots in the set, too, like this of Rob and Callie:

…And this, of newcomers Karen and Gunnar:

Can’t possibly forget Dan and Connor, natch:

However, as is not unusual for me, my favorite photograph is [...]

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 [...]

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 whose name has [...]

Last week not only served up a Cocktail Hour hosted by Creighton (aka the Originator) and Carolyn, but in a Thursday-Friday two-fer, Dan Zook’s 42nd birthday.
I took a very few photographs on Thursday, spending more time chatting with some new folks (as the various school seasons get underway, the new teachers and professors have introduced [...]

Terrell’s been mentioned here many times, most recently last week when he hosted Mark Brooker’s good-bye party at his downtown Macon gallery, the SoChi.
I returned there this afternoon to do a portrait session of him together with his two kids, in search of a photograph for a Macon Food and Culture magazine article on Father’s [...]

A total of 72 photographs have been posted to the full Hay Day 2009 gallery. Enjoy.
Before you head on over to the photographs, know that in a couple of places, I made the choice not to crop down the cutout poses — felt the subjects were either better off without, or where it was just [...]

Update: Full set posted. More here.
Original post: One of those detours I mentioned a while back was an ad for Hay Day, a mini-festival at the beautiful Hay House mansion in downtown Macon:

Hay Day was today, and I enjoyed the heck out of it.
I didn’t make a big deal, as I’m far enough behind that [...]

…the rest of the Cherry Blossom parade photographs have finally been posted.
Forgive the delay. In addition to a frankly insane schedule the past couple of weeks, I’m in the midst of working on the house — which means dust, distractions, sweat, more distractions, headaches, and, have I mentioned, distractions?
Anyway, to the newly-added goodness:

And, of course, [...]

Update: Both the bed race and downtown galleries are now complete (see links below); the parade gallery is in process and should be uploaded Friday. Thanks!
Warning: long post ahead. Folks wonder why I’m late with putting stuff up; instead of developing what I already have am behind on, I added 1187 new raw photographs to [...]

Appreciated a good time with Tagg and Angelic as hosts of this week’s get-together. As I’ve said so many times before, Cocktail Hour — and the friends it offers up regularly — is one of the reasons I enjoy Macon so much.
So, this Friday the thirteenth, I offer up thirteen Cocktail Hour photographs … including [...]
