    The Spectacular Deichman Library

    We don’t get ’em like this in the United States. Oslo, Norway gets the win:

    Even the ceilings are noteworthy (also seen below). Check the atrium:

    Macon Downtown Gallery Updated

    Took the TTArtisans 50mm ƒ1.2 for a brief stroll today after lunch with Gerald. Gotta say: this thing is fun:

    Macon Downtown TT Sign

    Note how the sign is into the bokeh practically before you’re through the sign’s second letter. This, too:

    Macon TT Downtown

    Does it begin to challenge Leica, or even Voigtlander? Certainly not — it’s a $98 (!) Chinese manual-focus crop lens shunned by almost all “real” Leica shooters. But for this short-depth-of-field fan, it’s worth the embracing the flaws. The updates are at the bottom of the page, marked, “Macon-Downtown_June-2021-x.” Enjoy.

  • Dublin gallery updated

    Dublin gallery updated

    Gerald and I had an opportunity to return to Dublin last week, and as a result, the Dublin gallery has been updated.

    As usual, it’s a combination of my detail shots with some old-fashioned stuff.

    See the entire Dublin gallery here. Thanks for looking!

    Mercer University Gallery Updated

    Memorial Day weekend brought what is likely the last of the spring-like weather to Middle Georgia, and while it lasted, I was out with the camera. This time, the beautiful, historic Mercer University campus here in Macon:

    That building is from the 1800’s. The bear — and the building in the background — are not:

    Had my black-and-white “classic camera” filters handy, too (same building in the background, FYI):

    Thirty new photographs join the Mercer University gallery. Peruse, purchase, or just enjoy.

    Middle Georgia State University Gallery Updated

    Visited Middle Georgia State University over the Memorial Day weekend, and have an updated look at campus:

    The Wellness Center wasn’t even there last time I was there with a camera:

    Take a look at the whole set here. Thanks!

  • New: Cochran and Dublin Galleries

    New: Cochran and Dublin Galleries

    Spring is fleeting here in Middle Georgia — a heat wave next week promises triple-digit weather — so took the camera for a wander. Cochran and the other Middle Georgia State University was up first:

    Cochran - MGA

    A few shots from Cochran’s downtown, as well:

    Cochran - Downtown

    See the new Cochran gallery here.

    Next up was a brief stop on Chester — single photograph posted here — then Dublin, where Martin Luther King made his first public speech, in 1944. There’s a little park to commemorate:

    Dublin - MLK park

    Downtown, alas, prominently features a Confederate monument (like so many places here in Georgia):

    We’re working on it. Meanwhile, check Dublin’s new gallery here.

    Last but not least, added a few shots to Macon’s miscellaneous gallery:

    East Macon fire watch tower

    Check the whole thing, covering almost fifteen years, here.

    Special thanks to Prof. Gerald Lucas for the continued use of his Voigtlander 21mm ƒ1.8.

    Beautiful spring day in Middle Georgia yesterday, so I took advantage:

    Added a few from a January visit, as well; a total of 44 new photographs posted.

    New this week is the delightful little town of Yatesville, on the road from Macon to Thomaston:

    See the rest in the new Yatesville gallery. And speaking of Thomaston:

    Only a few photographs in that gallery, but more when I get a chance. Next, Barnesville:

    I could have sworn I had more photographs from there, but am glad to have at least added to that gallery. Lastly, I’ve added to the Forsyth gallery:

    All of the new photographs are from Forsyth’s City Cemetery.

    Enjoy!
