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!
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:
A few shots from Cochran’s downtown, as well:
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:
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:
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!
Gerald loaned me his Voigtlander 21mm/ƒ1.8 yesterday, and I took it for a brief spin downtown:
More here — the latest shots are at the bottom of the page — and more soon. Thanks and stay tuned.
There was another photostroll yesterday, which in turn leads to three updated photography galleries, from:
Juliette; and
Also, a new gallery:
Monticello. Five of the posted photographs detail the Old Monticello United Methodist Church, which is discussed on the Georgia Trust website.
Enjoy — and thank you for your support.
Took a trip to Fort Valley and Massee Lane Gardens this Easter, with a stop at Wesley Chapel on the way home, resulting in a new gallery posted. Enjoy!
Thanks to Prof. Gerald Lucas. Photography is always better with company.
The galleries for Macon on my Media site are subdivided by location, but some photography sets don’t really fit into a specific location. Today, I’ve updated the Macon – Miscellaneous gallery with photographs from Hay House, Coleman Hill and Mercer Law, and the Catholic and Baptist churches near downtown. Enjoy!
Former President Carter’s hometown of Plains, Georgia, has a gallery now up to 70 photographs. I just added more from the Carter Boyhood Farm, taken March 4th, 2021. Enjoy!
Gerald and I spent a lovely Sunday afternoon wandering around downtown Macon, resulting in an updated gallery. Take a look.
Note: the gallery is arranged chronologically, with the oldest photographs at the top.
As mentioned yesterday, Gerald purchased a Voigtlander Ultron 21mm f1.8 — a very nice, German-owned (Japanese-made), manual-focus lens — last month, and he was kind enough to loan it to me for a couple of days.
We — that is, the lens and I — went for a short photostroll in downtown Macon this afternoon. Check the results in the updated gallery.
Edit, 6 March, 2021: I’ve rejigged the Macon galleries, and the featured photograph from this post is now in the Macon – Miscellaneous gallery (as the Catholic church is up the hill from downtown).
My good friend Prof. Gerald Lucas has been collecting lenses again, and since we both shoot with Leica L-mount cameras, we’re able to share — and he was kind enough to do precisely that. (Thank you, sir!). He’s added classics like the Asahi Super-Takumar 50mm f/1.8, Olympus Zuiko 28mm f/2.8, and Юпитер-8 (Jupiter-8) 2/50. (He’s added a brand-new Voightlander Ultron 21mm f1.8, as well — nice.)
Rose Hill and Riverside serve as familiar ground for us, meaning that when new photographic tools are available, we go there to see how well we work together; the gallery is twelve years old. See the update here. Enjoy.
December photostroll, part 2! Once again, Prof. Gerald Lucas and I were out testing new camera gear. Check out the updated Riverside Cemetery gallery and the Macon Downtown gallery, both updated today. Thanks for looking.
My good friend Prof. Gerald Lucas, his friend Ernest, and I wandered around ye ol’ stomping ground: Rose Hill Cemetery, here in Macon, testing out new camera gear. See the updated gallery.
Enjoyed a photostroll in Greenville, South Carolina, with good friend Prof. Gerald Lucas. See the updated gallery here.
