Terrell Sandefur and (Kids) Company
Terrell’s been mentioned here many times, most recently last week when he hosted Mark Brooker’s good-bye party at his downtown Macon gallery, the SoChi.
I returned there this afternoon to do a portrait session of him together with his two kids, in search of a photograph for a Macon Food and Culture magazine article on Father’s [...]
On Savannah … and an Anniversary
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 digital photograph [...]
Thank You — to Mom, Macon, and Mark
Update: Links fixed. Sorry for the error!
It’s after midnight Friday, and the promised Garden Tour photographs haven’t been posted yet. Sorry.
As if that’s not bad enough, last night — my first available photo-editing time since getting back in town — was spent out and about, first at Cocktail Hour, then at Mark Brooker’s good-bye party [...]
Finally, a Party
Significantly behind again; yet another of those eighty-hour work weeks prevented me from getting to last weekend’s photographs before now.
Thankfully, I was able to finish up the Thomasson Kentucky Derby Party before being out of the office for a long weekend. Please expect the Gardens photographs, at long last, Wednesday or Thursday. In the meantime, [...]
On Gardens … and a Derby
Enjoyed this Saturday on two fronts, starting with a tour of four of Macon’s gardens — taking, as usual, a slightly different focus:
Flowers with Paper Background
Shredded paper as mulch. Great recycling goin’ on here…!
Then, next door, caught one of those photographs — which also happens to include a [very tiny — Ed.] bit of self-portrait:
Tea, [...]

One of those “interesting” days; had planned on visiting some Macon gardens today, but spent the “business” day, well, working.
Thus, it was a pleasure to escape downtown tonight for First Friday.
Starting with the discovery of some folks doing book design — right here in Macon:
burt&burt art+design
Then on to the Arts Exchange, where I ran into [...]
Glamour in Six Dimensions
I’ve been meaning to do a book design post for a while now, and this morning added a new category — named, appropriately enough, book design — to the site. I’ll add another post to the category in the next couple of weeks, then more soon, covering both new and back titles.
Glamour in Six Dimensions [...]
Cocktails, a Cute Smile, and an Interesting Quote
Enjoyed Cocktail Hour this evening at Kim Wold’s. As my “official” Cocktail Hour postings go, it’s the second in a row for her — but there have been three in the interim that I have not been able to get to.
Sorry.
Meanwhile, many thanks to Kim for hosting. (Again.)
And a familiar-yet-still-cute boy, who tonight, was driving [...]
Historic Macon’s Party of the Year
Update: Full set posted, 66 photographs in all.
Original post: Enjoyed the evening at the Historic Macon Foundation Party of the Year, held tonight at the former Karsten-Denson building on Third Street, downtown.
Which, while lacking air conditioning on the year’s first ninety-degree day (in April…!), was a great time. Further, this fantastic old space was perfect [...]
Senioritis
In terms of image quality, I honestly feel that the Hay Day photography is a disappointment; I’m rarely good in a “formal” setting, as the superior quality of the [all too few —Ed.] candids in that set prove (along with that one carefully-planned group shot). I’ve been wondering if I’m getting too fixed in my [...]
