Friday Foto: Fire



Good morning folks. Well this week has sure flown by. I'm so busy, days and weeks just seem to be one big blur. I live for the weekends, to give my body, eyes and brain a break, but lately the weekends have been consumed as well. Last weekend alone I had five different shoots. I'm not complaining though, I'm thankful for being busy.

I did get to relax a little last weekend. A group of our friends got together and partied under the stars on Saturday night. We had a big bonfire, roasted marshmallows, listened to some football on XM radio and drank a little beer. I'm actually doing the marketing on the development this fire pit is located at, Wildlife Preserve, so I took a couple of photos while out there for possible marketing pieces... If anything else, I like the photos. This is the kind of stuff I really like to shoot.

So, this weekend will be much like last weekend. I have a wedding tonight, shoots all morning tomorrow and then hours of processing that needs to get done on the computer. It's OK though, I promise you I'll still find time to relax a little... that's never a problem I assure you.

Next weekend I'm heading up to Nashville to go to the Vandy/Tenn game. I'm really excited about that. I'm actually leaving Thursday, swinging by and calling on a client in Elijay, GA on Friday, and then heading up to Nashville. I'm excited because it will be a relaxing weekend, which I need. 

So, that's all folks. Oh, I'm working on a whole new way to display wedding proofs online. I'm really excited about it. It should be leaps and bounds better than what I'm currently doing, and loads easier on the user end. Can't wait, I'll keep ya posted. Cheers!

Friday Foto: Fabbing it up



One of our new clients is Boykin Steel and Crane, a steel fabrication (and much more) company located in good ole' Jesup, Georgia. I drove up there this week to get photos of the facility and such to use in their marketing material. They do amazing work, constructing everything from handrails to entire schools. It's amazing. Anyway, here's a couple of my favorites. I really like the group shot, it's exactly what I was trying to get... you really need to click on it to see it larger, I love how raw it is, goes just with the whole mood I was trying for. 

So, not much else is new. This week went by fast, lots of work. This weekend should be a fun-filled, fast weekend. I have an engagement photo shoot Saturday morning, going to a football party after that and then doing a chill fire and s'more making session later that night. Sunday finds me shooting again, three different shoots that afternoon. Nothing like staying busy, I'm fortunate.

The latest edition of the magazine I shoot for, Golden Isles Magazine, is on the shelves now. It looks really good, I'm proud of it. It hasn't been updated on their site yet, but as soon as it is I'll post the link. 

Oh, and no, I'm not going to comment at all on what happened Tuesday.
