Site Theme Redux (Updated)

Site Theme Redux (Updated)

Updated 4x. This past weekend, I spent some time updating the site’s “look,” with a new theme and, especially, bigger photographs in the posts themselves.
It’ll be a few days — even a week or two — before all of the kinks are worked out, so please forgive if things are a little wonky. Indeed, I [...]

Full Hay Day 2009 Set Posted

Full Hay Day 2009 Set Posted

A total of 72 photographs have been posted to the full Hay Day 2009 gallery. Enjoy.
Before you head on over to the photographs, know that in a couple of places, I made the choice not to crop down the cutout poses — felt the subjects were either better off without, or where it was just [...]

Easter Tapas — and Fun

Easter Tapas — and Fun

Enjoyed Easter weekend with Dan and Monica and selected portions of the Magnolia Street Mob. What a fun group of folks.
The theme was Tapas, with a huge selection of little stuff instead of one huge ham (Connor notwithstanding…;)
Speaking of whom: here he is, looking especially pleased with the just-consumed chocolate kiss:

Unlike Connor, Julian is not [...]

Hay Day, 2009

Hay Day, 2009

Update: Full set posted. More here.
Original post: One of those detours I mentioned a while back was an ad for Hay Day, a mini-festival at the beautiful Hay House mansion in downtown Macon:

Hay Day was today, and I enjoyed the heck out of it.
I didn’t make a big deal, as I’m far enough behind that [...]

At Long Last,

…the rest of the Cherry Blossom parade photographs have finally been posted.
Forgive the delay. In addition to a frankly insane schedule the past couple of weeks, I’m in the midst of working on the house — which means dust, distractions, sweat, more distractions, headaches, and, have I mentioned, distractions?
Anyway, to the newly-added goodness:

And, of course, [...]

Great Cap to a Looooong Week

Update, Monday 6 Apr: Finally, finally got to the parade photographs this afternoon, only to be besieged with some sort of “unsupported image format” error. For cryin’ out loud — it’s always something. Back ASAP.
To call it a long week would be an understatement; aside from being sick last weekend, which completely upended the to [...]

Detours

Please note: I’ve been working on Cherry Blossom Festival Parade, literally, all week. It takes time to sort and develop the best of six hundred photographs, and despite being behind on posting, I needed a break. Thanks for bearing with me.
Update: 73 more photographs are uploading as I type this — check the gallery when [...]

Cherry Blossom, Weekend One

Cherry Blossom, Weekend One

Update: Both the bed race and downtown galleries are now complete (see links below); the parade gallery is in process and should be uploaded Friday. Thanks!
Warning: long post ahead. Folks wonder why I’m late with putting stuff up; instead of developing what I already have am behind on, I added 1187 new raw photographs to [...]

Rejuvinated

I’ve been way behind on my to-do list recently, which, rather obviously, includes blogging. Many apologies.
Last weekend, rather than take the time to blog, catch up, clean, or anything else, I took an opportunity to clear my head with a longer-than-usual road trip. Part of it was supposed to result in a very cool photostroll, [...]

Auburn, Alabama and Columbus, Georgia

Falling farther and farther behind on posting. However, if you’ll forgive me, I’m okay with it.
This Friday and Satuday, instead of finally finishing up the Maine photographs, perhaps as I should have, I let the camera take me out to see my good friends Phillip and Neecee.
She is a doctoral student at Auburn University, and [...]
