Friday Foto: Volume

I've been in a great mood for the past couple of days, and it's a nice change from the cloud of stress and anxiety that has been visiting for, what seems like, ever. Don't get me wrong, things are still chaotic, busy and ever-rising, but, it's my perception I guess. Some times you just got to turn the volume down; the music's still there, but drop it down a notch, you know?

My cousin-in-law's friend is having her baby today (through a C-section), and so yesterday I took the opportunity to shoot her. She's a pretty girl and I knew it would make for a good photo shoot. I had her go over to the maternity clothes shop here , also owned by another one of my cousin-in-laws, to pick out some outfits for the shoot. I got some great shots, and really haven't had much time to process any of them, but this one I did. It jumped right out at me in the processing last night. I really like it. It's simple, beautiful and sincere all in one.

So, last week was Grad Night at Disney World. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The hardest part was definitely staying up until 4 a.m. I found a new pair of sunglasses, Ray-Ban's, so that made the trip worth it to me. I took a couple of photos, and I'll show you guys those in time. The Fray played, and they were good. I do like them, although I can't help to think they are just Coldplay posers. Actually, I can think of a lot of bands that are Coldplay posers. Not meaning that in a negative sense really, but they definitely seem to be piggy-backing the style and fan-base that Coldplay laid out.

This weekend will be fun. Guess what I am doing? Nothing. That's great. I mean, I have nothing planned. I will be doing stuff, of course. I'm going out in the boat tomorrow, probably the whole day. Sunday, I might take a trip out to Cabin Bluff, scout it out before the wedding that I'm shooting there next weekend.

Any who... that's all I got for know. Here's what I'll leave you with: turn it down, just a bit. I've found that it helps a lot.

Friday Foto: I'm back (and can see!)

Sorry, I know I took a little vacation from blogging here, but I was out last week for LASIK eye surgery. It went fantastic and as of yesterday, I'm seeing 20/15... a slight step-up from my 20/450 not 2 weeks ago! It turns out before surgery, while wearing glasses or contacts, I was still only seeing 20/65. According to GA law, you have to have eye correction to drive at 20/60. So, that explains a lot!

Anyway, the past several days my schedule has been quite hectic. My boss has been out of town, his mom just passed away. But things are getting under control.

Guess what I get to do Saturday? Chaperone Grad Night at Disney World. That's right folks, I get to travel down to Orlando and party with all the highschool seniors at Disney World. I'm extatic. Hey, atleast I get a free trip to the happiest place on earth, right? For those that don't know what Grad Night is, it's all night... like, you don't get back until Sunday around 10 a.m. Disney stays open all night just for HS seniors. It's fun if your a highschooler... I had a good time when I was a senior. I'm still trying to figure out how to slip a little flask with me...

Anway, I took a fresh foto for you guys today. I stopped by on my way to work at the Land Trust's new nature trail located just off Frederica Road. If you haven't been there yet, go... it's cool. I hope you like it. I'm also bring my camera (not my big one though) to Disney with a little pocket tripod too. I hope to get some cool Disney night shots. It should work out nice.

Well, that's it. I'll be back soon guys, so don't think I'm neglecting y'all.

Friday Foto: Last Fleece day

Good Friday to all. I'm afraid this weekend might be the last weekend of cold. The weather has been playing games with our hearts, pulling us into high 80s beach weather, and then yesterday and today I have on pants and a fleece. I think this cold snap is a fluke though and it may be our last until fall. So, I'm enjoying it, you better believe it. The top is down!

Today's picture comes from Hunting Island State Park. The whole island is a state park in South Carolina, just about 50 miles north of Savannah (right next to Paris and Fripp Island). I was there last weekend for a quick little getaway and it was so nice. Nice to getaway, not so nice being surrounded by the Griswalds with a 50 foot RV and a 100 pound bag of deer feed. If I hear any song covered by a reed pipe again it will be too soon.

So no big plans for Easter. Got some family coming into town and will spend some time with them, some time with Kelly and some time with the ole Jeep I'm sure. Speaking of the Jeep, it's coming along nicely. I've gotten my front and rear bumpers in now. I've painted both of them and installed the front one, but not the rear yet. I like the way they look.

I'm very happy with the scrambler. I towed a pop-up trailer all the way up to Hunting Island last weekend and the jeep did great. It was the first big trip with it and it ran and drove like a champ. I was really proud. Guess what happens next Wednesday?! I get new eyeballs! That's right, I'm going under the knife, or laser rather, and getting LASIK. I'm super pumped!

So, that's all I got. Hope you guys have a great Easter and a great weekend!
