First Friday, May 2009
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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
Read more →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, [...]

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 [...]
Read more →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, [...]
Read more →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 [...]
Read more →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: [...]
