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 grounds of the Catholic [...]

Breakfast at Wimbledon

Breakfast at Wimbledon

Posted 17 December 2009 | By Giles | Categories: Personal, Photography, Photos I Like, Shoots | Comments Off

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 the record: [...]

More Detours — and a Maine Preview

More Detours — and a Maine Preview

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 [...]

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.

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 digital photograph [...]

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 good-bye party [...]

Historic Macon’s Party of the Year

Historic Macon’s Party of the Year

Posted 26 April 2009 | By Giles | Categories: Photography, Photos I Like, Shoots | 2 Comments

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 was perfect [...]

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 [...]

Full Hay Day 2009 Set Posted

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 [...]
