Sweet Steely
I haven’t been to a concert in a while — more than a year — and haven’t been to a concert by folks at this level of expertise in waaay too long.
Fagen, Belting It Out
Cameras officially weren’t allowed, but there was a 100% chance I was going to somehow capture a moment or two.
Steely Sing-Along

This Week’s Cocktail Hour
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 [...]
Couple of Quickies
…for the weekend consumption:
The Online Photographer has an interesting post up on what might have also been my favorite digital camera — Sony’s 707. (For the record, I had an 828, as well — but it was exactly as Mike describes, ultimately leading me into Nikon territory.)
That same site also leads us to an editorial [...]
My Only “Leisure” Time
…this weekend — indeed, this entire past week-plus — was spent on a photostroll with Gerald and Phillip Saturday, the 31st, testing out my Nikon D300 with various lenses. A great excuse to wander around Middle Georgia, we all agreed.
Gordon’s Grin
Despite its obviously-advanced technical qualities, integrating the D300 into my “everyday-use” schedule has been, well [...]
Fletch and Linda’s Baby Shower
Update 2, Sunday morning (6/1): The balance of the photographs have been posted. The last set took longer than anticipated, as seating the guests of honor in front of a [very bright —Ed.] window meant more time developing the photographs of the gift-opening session. (Backlighting can be, uh, problematic.) 28 photos in all — enjoy.
Update: [...]
Memorial Day Blogging, Quickie Edition
Long weekends are always supposed to be about catching up. Shame it usually doesn’t work that way.
Meanwhile:
Some amazing time-lapse photography from Alexey Titarenko, via Kottke.
Also from Kottke, something potentially relevant here in Macon: Time-lapse cherry trees. Yeah.
Maps of all the streets in the lower 48 states — no, not topography, not satellite shots, just the [...]
Macon State College, Before and After
Only a few weeks ago, Gerald and I went wandering around the MSC campus on a photostroll, enjoying what was a beautiful day on frankly beautiful grounds. Some folks obviously spent a great deal of time caring, and I even said as much to a groundskeeper we bumped into.
What a difference a couple of weeks [...]
Tornado!
Pre-dawn on Mother’s Day, I was blissfully asleep in Bradenton, Florida. Here in Macon, havoc struck. In several different neighborhoods around Bibb County, homes, businesses, schools, and lives suffered.
No one in Macon was killed. We were more than fortunate.
Nature was less kind to the foliage:
Stripped Tree
Despite the proximity to serious damage, my house — and [...]
A Single Florida Photograph
Put up a single photograph from this past weekend’s trip to Florida:
Sunset Water for New Plantings
Upon arriving home, I was shocked at the level of destruction less than two miles from my house — and feel the need to use the (very little) spare time I have this week to photograph that — and help [...]
Photographs from Columbus
Had an [all-too — Ed.] brief visit to Phillip and Neecee’s this week, in their adopted home of Columbus, Georgia. Better still, we were able to get out for a couple of hours:
Spencer Column (Detail)
From the Spencer House, a Georgia Trust 2008 Place in Peril. It’s possible, even to see why. Hopefully something can be [...]
