a slightly different focus

Okay, let’s get this out of the way up front: I haven’t been posting — or photographing — enough recently.
But, there’s a good reason, one regular readers of this site know — equipment that’s not up to snuff. So some changes have been in order.
As of yesterday, those changes are nearly complete.
It’s meant selling my [...]

…are not only wonderful people, they, together with Martha Kelly — Trish’s amazing Mom — hosted this week’s Cocktail Hour. As expected, it was fantastic.
The happy couple:

Couldn’t stay the duration, alas, and can only look at a few of the photographs from tonight before getting back to work — [...]

…was hosted by Gerald and Autumn right here in Ingelside. Heck yeah, I went:

Autumn’s Glass
Both the hosts were manning cameras at various points through the evening, plus Doug messing about with one of Gerald’s cameras, so by and large, I didn’t. A few shots were irresistible, however — forgive:

Doug’s (Canon) Shot
Only 10 photographs posted, but [...]

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:

As usual, it was a great time:

Many thanks to Tagg and Angelic for hosting. Yeah, Angelic:

Angelic’s Party
A great time. Many thanks to all.
More photos Friday and then again Monday/Tuesday. (Update: Done. 10 photographs in all.) Thanks for your patience.

Macon hasn’t had a Cocktail Hour for a few weeks, hardly unusual around the end of the school year. So it was not a surprise to see so many good folks at last night’s event, hosted by Elizabeth and John.
Including a fantastic-looking woman — who just happens to be John’s mother — toting a pretty [...]

…at Jay and Fernando’s was, as always, a great time. Many thanks to both gentlemen for hosting!
I’ve posted a brief gallery, but need to note: I was breaking in a new camera tonight, and thus was experimenting more than usual — resulting in a lower-than-usual “keeper” count. Forgive.
Couple of shots I really like, though, which [...]

Have been working back through photographs, and wanted to post the rest of these photographs on the road to catching up back gallery posts.
Especially love this photo of Trish:

Moment of Contemplation
Beautiful moment from a beautiful woman, perhaps thinking about some more beautiful things in her life. Glad to have caught it — thanks, Trish!

I’m caught up … with the design projects. Everything on the design “to do” list is current. Su-weet!
On the other hand … I’m like a month behind with photos. The list below is still pretty accurate, just not yet posted…;)
The “pretty accurate” refers to the Cherry Blossom stuff. Those who know me know that I [...]

Been a “hella few months,” as they say around here.
Thankfully, finally, beginning to catch up. Here’s the to-post list, in order:

[the rest of] Conner’s Birthday
David’s Cocktail #1
David’s Cocktail #2
Sipsey (RI)
Cherry Blossom (TK, especially next Saturday’s street fair)

Should be done and posted within a few weeks, I’d say. Thanks for your patience.
Meanwhile, need to admit: been [...]

It occurs to me that, stupidly, I haven’t been updating the blog every time I’ve been updating the site. Need to cross-post.

Host at Kitchen Table
Thanks, Jim! It was nice knowing I could bring my mother along, and much appreciated her feeling welcome.
Just a brief gallery — nine photos. Check ’em out.
Edit: Previous 2008 Cocktail Hour [...]

…was a great time. Thank you!
12 photos made the cut, including not only a great portrait of you, Heidi, but several borderline-humorous takes on my friends Craig, John, and Tom. Check ‘em out.
Yeah, I said Tom:

Tom and the Open Door Policy
With all due respect, sir: sorry, couldn’t resist…;)
Have to say: of all the great opportunities [...]
