MagTard’s Launch Party — Sort Of
This past Friday night, at EJ’s loft in downtown Macon, MagTard held a launch party for their new CD. While it started at nine, I didn’t get there until almost 9:30 — but knew I had plenty of time before folks really got into the evening. Miles and Trish were there: I don’t get a [...]

I’m grateful that the huge project that has been my home remodeling is drawing closer and closer to the finish line, and I’m grateful for the attention and support from folks near and far. Indeed, this support has been vital. Many thanks to you all. A special call-out to these two: Guys’ Hero Shot Jody, [...]

One of recent year’s highlights, as far as I’m concerned, is celebrating the bounty that is Thanksgiving with Dan and Monica. Most of that has been about knowing great friends. Some, however, has to do with Dan’s simply-amazing turkey: Check Twice, Eat Once That title is a play on Norm Abram‘s approach to construction, someone [...]

A while back, I donated an hour of photography time to the Crossroads Writers Conference fund raising auction; Kelly and Steve won the bid, and wanted to do a session to celebrate their engagement. (The Crossroads Writers Conference itself is in February, here in Macon.) We started out in Washington Park, a favorite local playground [...]

Mind you, I’m not complaining. Too much. I could have done without the personal issues, including, among other things, a huge insult … courtesy of the Catholic Church. Hey, thanks! Meanwhile, I’ve put the Maine photographs — and book — on hold until I can get the schedule back under control. I’m also enjoying a [...]

Please note: I’ve added a few updates to the remodeling gallery (latest — 10/30), for those following along. (Thanks.) More soon. While my house remodeling continues, I’m much more restricted on what I can work than I imagined. There have been several power problems, and I’m without my big computer for days at a stretch [...]
Read more →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 [...]
Read more →A Detour: Home
Well, I have to admit to a huge mistake: stacking too many things, too close together. Less than a week from my return from Maine, the work on my home began. That meant that before I could even unpack from the trip, I was packing … the house. It’s turned in a very big deal [...]

Please note: This gallery is password-protected. However, the Maine gallery, starting in the next few days, won’t be — and will benefit from other news. Thanks for checking back. Last weekend, on the way back from Maine, I stopped for a couple of days in Dobbs Ferry, New York. While I missed this year’s Festa [...]

Please note: I’m working backwards, from Friday’s event in downtown Macon, through a friend’s special event last weekend in upstate New York, to the past couple of weeks in Maine — all of which resulted in some great photographs. Despite a going non-stop since getting back, please stay tuned for another post this weekend, then [...]
