A Slightly Different Focus

Let me please lead off with an — or, should I say, another — apology for taking so long. Since getting home from Maine, absolutely nothing has gone according to plan.
Well, in reality since long before that … but that’s another story. (Which I might even share someday…;)
Meanwhile, visible progress on the house has slowed [...]

…I note the passing of singer and civil rights activist Odetta.
Had the honor of seeing her live once (many moons ago, now), and will definitely be doing some listening today.
Next post Friday or Saturday soon. Have a good week — and thanks for checking back.

Back in the day, photographers like Ansel Adams were part of something called Group f/64.
Go ahead and read that if you’re not familiar. I’ll wait…;)
Now, dare I suggest I’m in that sort of company? No, certainly not. But one can have aspirations.
But “aspirations” also suggests similarity. Ansel Adams produced these amazing, long-view scenes — ones [...]

As I’ve said many times, one of the primany reasons I live in Macon is the people I’ve come to know and appreciate.
Case in point: Thanksgiving. I’m delighted to be amongst friends here in Macon.
As one of those friends, Dan (who happened to host today’s get-together), assured another guest earlier tonight, I can go an [...]

Was in Columbus for a job last week — that, unfortunately, was postponed at the last minute. Will hopefully be heading back later this week to do that job.
Meanwhile, Phillip and I took the time we’d planned on taking photographs to … take photographs. We wandered around downtown and riverside on an exceptionally pleasant photostroll.
Including [...]

In Maine, that is:

Ogunquit Beach, Across the River
The view from my room. Not too shabby, even in extreme wide-angle…;)
More over the next few weeks days. Thanks for checking back.
Update: ‘Nuther, from Sunday:

Perkins Cove Boats, Ogunquit
Definitely some emotion in this, well, homecoming (for lack of a better term). I didn’t expect being back in Maine — [...]

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, [...]

This post has lurked about unseen for a couple of days because I hit “save” instead of “publish.” Sorry.
Over Mother’s Day, I enjoyed a visit to Florida.
As we all know, here in Macon, things weren’t so pleasant — and, at the time, I concentrated on things at home rather than the photographs from afar. However, [...]

This week’s Cocktail Hour was hosted by Heather Braun, at her new place in the Baconsfield area of Macon. Heather has a wonderful home, that she — deservedly — was delighted to show off:

Heather, in Front of New Home
As usual, it was a great time:

Carmen, Enjoying (the Neighborhood)
Carmen purchased Gerald’s house on Laurel — where [...]

…I’ve filled in the “about” page. Read all about, well, me.

Lots of mistakes. Yet, somehow, still glad to be here.
As always, thanks for stopping by.
