Today's Wedding

I had a really good time today. It was not as hot as last weekend, but I still was a sweaty mess when I left the church. This church was one of those classic old time churches right on Main Street in the town of Conyers , Ga. I really like shooting in old churches. I guess it just reminds me of my childhood when I would spend half the summer with my cousin Mike in Virginia. His dad, (my uncle) was a minister and his church was an old one in Richmond . I even like the way an old church smells. Kind of dusty, but clean, but not as clean as your grandmothers house.
Anyway, enough about the good old days in the 60's Here are a few photos from today's wedding. All of these photos were shot in that dusty old church. I have a new DVD that I am working on called "Making Something from Nothing" I may use the before and after versions of these images in that DVD. Oh, and that crazy ass music that you hear is from the post about 4 or 5 down the list from the Durham wedding. The music starts playing automatically and I can not figure out how to stop it.

My New Home

I have not been posting much as I have been working on the extra DVDs for the DVD set and buying a new home. I close on the new place in 3 weeks and will start modifications right away. It is on a lake south of Atlanta and I have the whole point with a great view.
I will put in a work room, editing room and a small showroom. I don't know how I will get any work done after it is all ready as the 180 degree view of the water from the editing room you just will not be able to stop looking at. After the first of the year, I may add a studio.

Frogtown

Today I did a bridal portrait session at a winery in the North Ga Mountains called Frogtown. It was a very long ride but I think well worth it. I like the 2 photos from the shoot below. Her wedding is going to be there in Sept and it looks like a cool place to have one. See the web site at www.frogtownwine.com

Still to much happening to sit down and write.

It just sucks that I have no time at the moment to put together something meaningful or informative. But in the last week I have placed an offer on a new home, Started a new DVD title called Something From Nothing. The kids started school. Football try outs. Designed 4 wedding albums, one from a wedding I did not even shoot and was struck by lightning. NOT KIDDING ! Just call me "Johnny Volt" that is my new nickname. I am fine by the way.
So , you get to see video of my son Garen hitting, again. I promise that this is the last baseball video that I will post until Fall Baseball gets going.
Next week I will post something useful.
On another note. I have a very good cool friend that will be in need of a good job at the end of September. She is the executive assistant to the president of a fortune 300 company. A loyal employee for almost 20 years, and will be job hunting as her company National Linen is to be sold at the end of the month. You will not find anyone better for your top level position than her. Be prepared to dish out some cash, she is not cheap. I thought about asking her to do marketing for me, but if she did she would generate to much and I would have to work more than I want to. Plus, she will not put up with my Loony Tunes way of doing things, and we have history. A disaster in the makings.

Just more good hitting

Everyone thought this one bounced over the fence holding him to just two bases. But he knew what was going on and just kept on running. This was a BIG field. 400 ft to center field. Just remember, he is only 13.

I am lucky that I get to see this type of hitting very often
