Frida Foto: New stuff

So I thought I would post some of my recent work here. I need to update my web site, but haven't found the time yet, so until then, here's some of the recent pics I'm proud of for one reason or another. These are ones I've taken at various weddings and portrait sessions going back to the middle of the summer just about.

So this weekend is GA/FLA. How fun. The island is overrun with greek-tastic college kids. It doesn't bother me though. Some are very annoying, and the ultimate example of everything I loathe, but most just appear that way, and are decent people underneath.

I don't have big plans this weekend. My jeep is still not running, it's been dead for a little over a week now. It's heart-breaking really. I've been troubleshooting with the help of my online Scrambler friends, and I think I've found the culprit, the distributor, and have one on order. Should arrive any day now. I've replaced so much in the engine compartment already, so when Margaret gets back and running, it's going to be AMAZING!!! So, that's it folks.

Friday Foto: from archives

I like this photo, I don't necessarily know why. Maybe because this dilapidated bus reminds me of the bus that Alex dies in in the book Into the Wild. They have made it into a movie and it is playing around the country right now. Unfortunately, it's not down here yet, which pisses me off. We have Tyler Perry's movie, but not Sean Penn's? Come on! Don't get me wrong, I love Tyler Perry, but let's actually think what will sell better here guys...

Anyway, this bus was located at my friend Whit's farm in Dublin, GA. It's a cool bus you say. Well, you only know the half of it. This bus, my friend, is the WC. Yep, it's the can, complete with a flushing toilet (utilizing a 5-gallon bucket of water from the pond). That kind of taints the photo now doesn't it? The best thing about this photo is the detail, which you really can't get the full effect here on the computer screen.

Anyway, I have a wedding to shoot this weekend and a Jeep to get running again. So, that's what I'm doing. Hope y'all have a great weekend!

Friday Foto: only in Tennessee

I love today's Friday Foto. We were up at our cabin last weekend, which was awesome. We had a great time, weather was nice, it was perfect. Our cabin is in Epworth, GA, which is right outside of Blueridge, GA, just south of Tennessee. It's actually easier to get to Tennessee, a quick drive for beer on Sunday. While on said excursion, we passed a general store right off the main road in McCaysville, TN where, framed amongst the fall decor of hay and pumpkins, rested this sign. Obviously I had to take a photo. Really, what kind of person stills cow crap? Wow.

I have a gargae cleaning project planned for this weekend. I'm excited to acquire my "man space" back; kicking out the hodgepodge of 10-year-old cloths and plastic kitchen utensils will make more room for the JEEP! Man I love the weather, love riding around in my jeep right now. It's perfect. Y'all have a great weekend.

Friday Foto: 17 minutes at Lewis Island

I love these photos. I've been experimenting a lot lately with long exposure photography. So much of what you get in the final photo is unpredictable. So many things happen that are unseen by the eye and can only be shown through photography. I think it's amazing that one can take a photograph of something that is unseen to the natural senses. Anyway, enjoy.

I'm going to my cabin this weekend. I'm pretty pumped. We are going with a group of couples from here... I can't wait to hang out and do NOTHING. We have off for Columbus Day so we get to return on Monday, which is always nice. I'll be taking plenty photos of the fall foliage, so be prepared to see some new pics upon my return. Have a great weekend.

Lewis Island camping

Here are some photos from my recent camping trip to Lewis Island, off the Altamaha River in Georgia. One of my favorite places to go and camp. Accessible only by boat. We had a great time. Weather was perfect, 66 Sunday morning. Nice and breezy and no rain. We fed the fish Sunday morning. I feel it was a successful photography, beer drinking, camping, boating experience. Tune in on Friday for The Friday Foto, where my favorite image from this trip will be displayed. Enjoy.
