A Slightly Different Focus

Please note: After eight months stuck working on the house, I got on the road. In other words, I’ve got three months’ worth of photography trips to post — and will do just that over the next few weeks. Thanks for checking back. Sapelo is one of my favorite places on Earth. My good friends [...]

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 [...]

We waited more than two weeks for a nice, warm day. No such luck. Indeed, for the second session in a row, we suffered from fog. Sheesh. Nonetheless, some pretty great results — celebrating downtown, despite the fog: The view from Macon’s Rosa Parks Square, near City Hall. We also spent some time on the [...]

Okay, not exactly — but this new kitchen on Wimbledon, in North Macon, is a great room to enjoy a breakfast! Bickley Design Build Services, the folks doing the remodel on my home, noticed that I was taking some photographs — and asked me to turn my lenses towards another of their recent projects. For [...]

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 [...]

As mentioned last time, I was headed out of town Wednesday. Indeed, I rolled back in around 11 Saturday night — just in time to catch a couple of songs from the MagTard midnight performance at Bragg Jam … before collapsing from exhaustion. Stay tuned, as MagTard’s photographs will be posted tomorrow or Weds. Charleston, [...]

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: 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 [...]

Update: Full set posted, 66 photographs in all. Original post: Enjoyed the evening at the Historic Macon Foundation Party of the Year, held tonight at the former Karsten-Denson building on Third Street, downtown. Which, while lacking air conditioning on the year’s first ninety-degree day (in April…!), was a great time. Further, this fantastic old space [...]

In terms of image quality, I honestly feel that the Hay Day photography is a disappointment; I’m rarely good in a “formal” setting, as the superior quality of the [all too few —Ed.] candids in that set prove (along with that one carefully-planned group shot). I’ve been wondering if I’m getting too fixed in my [...]
