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 [...]

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) [...]

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 [...]

Many of you know that I’ve been out of town for a good chunk of September; despite, as usual, not getting enough done before being swept up in a huge trip, I really enjoyed getting back to my roots. In other words, many of you also know that I’m a relative newcomer to Macon; I [...]

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, Monday 6 Apr: Finally, finally got to the parade photographs this afternoon, only to be besieged with some sort of “unsupported image format” error. For cryin’ out loud — it’s always something. Back ASAP. To call it a long week would be an understatement; aside from being sick last weekend, which completely upended the [...]

Falling farther and farther behind on posting. However, if you’ll forgive me, I’m okay with it. This Friday and Satuday, instead of finally finishing up the Maine photographs, perhaps as I should have, I let the camera take me out to see my good friends Phillip and Neecee. She is a doctoral student at Auburn [...]

Gerald and I headed up to Atlanta Friday, mostly to check a specific camera store for some look-and-touch you just can’t get online — and he hit a great deal on something he’d been thinking about for a long time. Thus, instead of spending the day wandering around Atlanta, we finished up our other stops [...]

Enjoyed a great photostroll with Gerald and Phillip last Saturday, starting with a quick stop in Preston, Georgia, followed by a longer-than-expected stop in Plains (home of President Jimmy Carter), Americus, and finally a shorter-than-expected stop in Andersonville. (We settled in just as they closed. Sheesh.) It was especially interesting to visit the Carter visitor’s [...]
