Friday Foto: Peace


So I thought about posting this photo along with another one, but I really think this photo deserves a place of it's own. Not only is it the first published photo of my son, it's also a pretty damn cool photo. I would usually never post sonogram photos of a baby, because while they are cool to family, the freak some people out. But this one I think everyone will enjoy. I swear this is real, not photochopped. I personally like how he's throwing up the fingers gangster style, not hippie-peace-love-and-happiness style. He's my little thug. This was taken Wednesday by the way.

Anyway, this week has flown by. The next issue of The Golden Isles Magazine is supposed to come out today. I'm excited about this one, I really liked the photo spread I did for this one on porches. Grab one if you see it out there.

This weekend is going to be great. Why? Because I'm not doing a thing. I'm going to the beach tomorrow come hell or high water. I'm going to walk the dogs. We're having some friends over for dinner Saturday night. Sunday I think I'm going to skip down to Jacksonville and buy some used tires from a guy to install on my free Tahoe that I don't even have yet. Yup, I've acquired another car. Another project that will more than likely leave me on the wrong side of the car. But, all kidding aside, I'm pumped. I love cars. This one doesn't need anything really and will give me a reliable ride for when the lil thug gets here. I'm picking it up in March. 

It's gorgeous out today, and with that comes another post about how much I love the weather. I'm wearing shorts today. First shorts day of the year. I don't know if I can go back now. This weather brings a mad craving to go topless in my Jeep. With the hardtop on, it's harder to easily make the transition. I'm trying to hold out until I get this Tahoe that way in case it rains I'll have a second option. But, I don't know if I can hold out... seriously thinking about removing it tomorrow... I can always use a rain jacket. 

So, that's it. That's all I got. I need to get back to my pork pops.... cheers readers!

Friday Foto: Hodgepodge


What a whirlwind of a couple of weeks. Yes, I know, I didn't post at all last week. I'm sorry. I'll try to make it up today with a little bit of this and that. 

First of all, last weekend I was up at our family cabin in Blue Ridge, GA. It was a much needed relaxing weekend. It was nice to just sit and relax. I drank beer, ate food and kept the fire going the whole weekend. That's all I did. It was soooo nice.

We just "finished" the living room up there. I brought up a photo I had taken of the cabin in full snow and hung it up on the wall. I think it came out really nice. I'm really happy with the way the whole place looks now. The rock fireplace is amazing (hand built by my dad and uncle). Above is the living room and below a copy of the photo hanging there. 
Of course, when I'm up there I like to shoot some pictures as well. I shot this one of a little hump of moss. I like that stuff a lot. It's so green and makes me just want to make an entire bed out of it and pass out.


Our new business, H2O Creative Group is in full swing. Here's our logo. It was a collaborative effort by me and my two partners. I really like it. It's got a lot going on. We have a lot going on too right now. Tons of work (thankfully) and we are busy trying to remodel our space as well. 

Not much else is new. I plan on trying to relax a little this weekend. I'm searching for some much needed Ben time as Kelly goes to Jacksonville again for baby stuff, this time with out me... I'm going to spend some time at work I'm sure, but hope to get under my hood at some point and play with my Jeep... ahhhh the perfect past time, being covered in grease from head to toe.  Yall have a great weekend.

Friday Foto: Great mood and a rando pic


I love this photo. It's pretty random, I know. It was taken out in Colorado last April. I went out there to fly-fish with my dad and his brothers. I want to use this shot in an ad somewhere, but most ads I do are regional and this certainly doesn't look like here. So, oh well. Speaking of CO though, this is one of my fav shots from there... 
And so, what else is new? Well, I'm in a fantastic mood. Maybe it's the weather (it's been freezing all week), maybe it's the fact that now I'm officially an owner of this business, H2o Creative Group, maybe it's cause it's Friday, or maybe it's just life's little things... well, whatever it is, I'm grateful. I love being happy... and smelling good, I know random. Today is random day.

So, not much is new. I chopped a ton of wood this past weekend, which is one of my fav things to do. My friend chopped three Pecan trees in his back yard and we spent the better part of last weekend chopping it up. It's one of the best woods to burn. I love wood. 

I'm going to Jacksonville this Saturday. I'm excited. Kelly wants to do some shopping and I get to go to two of my favorite stores. The Apple Store and Total Wine. I always buy something at both. I have to. I love them. that's about all i have going on right now... that and a lot of work. just busy, busy, busy... with lots of work and business stuff.

yall have a great weekend.
