Giles Hoover, Photographer

Settling in for a long weekend in front of the computer, starting with a combined photography post — involving all of the items mentioned in the title: cocktails, cars, and some “new” cute cats. Four Cs, posted up. Okay! Working backwards, I took literally a dozen photographs at Cocktail Hour last night; I don’t know [...]

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. [...]

Finished up the Garden Tour photographs on Tuesday, then wound up uploading them several times to correct timeouts, misnaming, and other problems. Finally, though, 168 photographs in all grace the gallery. It’s flowers, sure: And a reminder that some of these are actual gardens: What I like perhaps even more on a tour like this [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Significantly behind again; yet another of those eighty-hour work weeks prevented me from getting to last weekend’s photographs before now. Thankfully, I was able to finish up the Thomasson Kentucky Derby Party before being out of the office for a long weekend. Please expect the Gardens photographs, at long last, Wednesday or Thursday. In the [...]

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, [...]
