The Holidays


I hope everyone had a safe week. I went to my brothers for Thanksgiving dinner and then on to some friends for another dinner. At my brothers, everything was just like it is supposed to be at Thanksgiving. Most of my family was there and it was comfortable and warm and it just felt like home. At the other dinner I went to , it was like just about any scene from the movie Steel Magnolias. Lots of mature Southern ladies sticking their noses into everyone business and big hair.
I hope we all keep this year's holidays about Faith and Family.

The one photo is part of my "Faces of Town" project that I will be hanging this week at a restaurant in town. I took it yesterday. It is of one of the people that work at the restaurant. She does not want me to use it in the show because she does not like her chin and nose. I like it, what do you think ?

Todays Shoot in South Alabama

It is late so I will not write much. These photos are just a few of many that were taken today. I wanted to do some artsy kind of things to use in her wedding album to set the mood of the book so I mixed it up with some formal portraits and shots from around her home town. Out of these four my favorite it the one with the big white building. Or maybe the one in the middle of the street. I took about 150 shots and have not even looked at all of them yet. These just seemed to jump at me so I put them up here on the blog. The next post will be from my Super Monday class being held,...well, this Monday. Oh, and happy birthday Wanda.

Todays Portraits

These are some photos from the two portrait sessions I did today. The first one just has me saying that I can not remember any Grandmother looking that good. But she is one and does.

The composite sheet started out as a shoot for my Faces of Town project and I went a little overboard. The photo I choose for the exhibit is on the bottom left. No one likes it but me. But, it is MY exhibit, so in it goes. Any comments ? Should I go on as a portrait photographer ? Someone pick them apart. tell me what you don't like.
