Athens – Window Shopping and More

Shooting has been a rare commodity lately, but Saturday afternoon I spent a couple of hours walking around Athens, GA and the UGA campus in pursuit of a few photo opps.  Lighting was too harsh for broad scenics, but small vignettes were plentiful.  Getting the itch to shoot more.  🙂

San Francisco Architecture

A recent business trip to San Francisco afforded a couple of walkabouts to capture unique perspectives.  Lighting was less than spectacular, but SF is a city with many, many compelling subjects under any circumstance.  Enjoy!  More to come ….

May The Odds Be Ever In Your Favor

John and Michelle, our good friends and fellow museum lovers, tag teamed with Kathy and me for a Saturday double date at the Atlanta History Center.  It is a treasure.  There are wonderful exhibits of Atlanta’s history, including a tribute to the 1996 Olympic Games, an area dedicated to Atlanta’s own Bobby Jones and his illustrious […]

Ponce City Market

En L’honneur

Re-posting two photos from years past in honor of the Paris terrorist attack victims.  My heart and prayers go out to the families of those murdered, hurt, and terrorized by such cowardly and hateful acts.  I am thankful to God for protecting my sister-in-law Dorine, and her sister Carol, who were there visiting.

Morning at the Museum

Kathy and I LOVE visiting the High Museum.  We try to make it a point to visit every quarter or so.  It’s world class with a steady rotation of top exhibits, and this Saturday our good friends John and Michelle enticed us with an impromptu invite. Enjoy!

On Deck

On a recent walkabout in a nearby garage, I tried my eye at capturing a variety of shadows and architectural lines.  I am also continuing to work on a style that has a “realistic” film-like feel in terms of tones and tonal transitions.
