a slightly different focus

Please note: been having connection issues for the past few days; things still aren’t running as smoothly as I’d like. Sorry this posting is a little later than I’d expected.
Calvin is one of the first people I met after moving to Macon, back in the dark days of 2004-5. We’ve been close since.
He’s an unconventional [...]

…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 — [...]

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 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:

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 [...]

An attempt at visual storytelling on the blog tonight. Enjoy.
Woke up this morning — far too early, but that’s another story — in Columbus, Georgia. I’d spent the night in the graciously-provided guest room of two of my very favorite people: Phillip and Neecee.
Okay, it was actually napping after doing a photoshoot and development tutorial [...]

…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 [...]

Well, yeah, especially when they’re friends, or are now — met a few new folks I hope become more a regular part of “the fold.”
Came away with a few photos I like very much, too. Not necessarily perfectly on-topic, alas; I was distracted by Conner, Dan and Monica’s young son, who has advanced tremendously in [...]
