Two weekends ago — indeed, only hours after photographing the Rose Hill sunset — I was on the road, heading to the last hike of this season: Grayson Highlands and the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area, both part of the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests. My guide, as always on trips such as these, [...]

Continuing the recent “sunset series,” I spent last Friday evening together with Gerald, wandering around Rose Hill — one of our favorite test areas. While not quite as colorful as the two earlier in the week, it was still a nice evening; we enjoyed the ‘stroll. Since the locale was so familiar, we resolved to [...]

Please note: This post was written several days ago, but for some reason didn’t get published to the front page. Apologies for the delay. Earlier this week, John Cantwell and I went for a couple of evening photostrolls. Sunday’s, as Sunset #1, has already been posted. This post is about Tuesday’s: Macon Sunset #2. As [...]

Sunday, October 9, was College Hill Corridor’s monthly Second Sunday in Washington Park. It features food, expansive space for families, and, better still, a band. In this case, some guys called Yacht Rock Schooner: They played Steely Dan! Woohoo! Oh, and an Official Support Team: I don’t know whether the hoops are a standard thing, [...]

Went for a photostroll this past Sunday with John Cantwell, enjoying a beautiful evening and some gorgeous golden light. We wandered from downtown to Riverside, at the top of the a nearby hill, covering all sorts of different territory. Starting with the Macon Transport Authority’s new pride and joy: New Bus Terminal (at Sunday Sunset) [...]

Calvin and Allison celebrated their new home last Saturday, and were kind enough to invite me — and my camera. Exploring someone’s house with my camera is one of my favorite activities. When it’s filled with interesting stuff, it’s even better: Joined (in Modern Presentation) The simple stuff works, too: Paper Lamp And they have [...]

Every day, I try to go for at least one walk. I live in a beautiful and fairly compact section of Macon, called Ingleside. It’s perfect for wandering around — pretty streets, most with sidewalks (and most without much traffic), in an older, well-established neighborhood. Yesterday, a beautiful afternoon, I was out and about and [...]

Please note: I’ve added a few updates to the remodeling gallery (latest — 10/30), for those following along. (Thanks.) More soon. While my house remodeling continues, I’m much more restricted on what I can work than I imagined. There have been several power problems, and I’m without my big computer for days at a stretch [...]

…was a great deal of fun — it was great to see some folks I haven’t in a while. At Creighton and Carolyn’s, no less — a Cocktail Hour homecoming, of sorts. So: Stop and Let Me Tell You…. Haven’t blogged for a while; been chained to the desk for weeks. Nice to have the [...]
