Watching the Eclipse

This image was taken while my son was sitting down by the lake at the fire pit waiting for the eclipse to start tonight.

Exposure was 25 seconds at f 8 ASA/ISO 400

I liked it so I thought I would share it.

Valentines Day Wedding

This post is a short one. I had a wedding yesterday at the Ritz Carlton. I won't say where but it was one of them within 10 driving hours of my home. It was a small very personal and private affair with selected guest. I have photographed this couple before in New York and Rhode Island. I was not even going to post anything about this wedding as it was very private, but everyone just kept on and on about her ring. A several carat deep pink dimond plus extras. Now I don't normaly do the "Black and White Photo with selective color added thing" unless someone asks me to. I used to hand color my photos with oil paint but now everyone is doing it with their computer (and quite badly I might add) So I just don't do it that much anymore.

But I felt that just for this blog post I would do it to show her ring. It is BEAUTIFUL. I hope you can see it. I could see it all night last night from across the room. I like this shot. She was laying across a bed full of rose petals.

Faces of Town Display and Summer Tour

This post is for the folks that sat in on my show "50 Things Every Photographer Should Know" in Indianapolis, Indiana and Savannah, Ga this last week. During the show I showed images of the outside of the restaurant but not the inside where the display was hanging. Stupid Me ! Several people wanted to see what the display looked like.
So, these photos are of the inside. I took the interior shots of the restaurant with a little point and shoot camera that I always keep in my pocket so don't send me e mail about the bad quality of the photos, I know they are not so great.

All of the portraits hanging on the walls are of local people that work on or just hang around the town sq of McDonough, Ga. The print sizes are 30x40, 40x40 and 27x40 gallery wrapped canvas. All printed and stretched by me on an Epson 9800 using Premier Art Water Resistant Canvas and stretched on hand made stretcher frames built by my father. Next month in March I will be bringing the "50 Things" show back to Savannah and then on to several cities in FL. Details are being worked out now. You will be able to register on line. Advance ticket price is $49.00

Indianapolis, Indiana

Hi Folks,
Yes, it has been a month since I posted anything. I have been covered up with work. This weekend on Saturday night I did my first public showing of my "50 Things Every Photographer Should Know" show or seminar or class or whatever you want to call it in Indianapolis, Indiana. I had a good time and the people in the class were really great and were good sports about getting up and telling the stupidest thing that they ever did in their business. There were some good ones.

Why All the way up in Indiana ? Because I was speaking at the Professional Photographers of Indiana Annual Convention. There were a whole bunch of very cool people there and they were so full of hospitality that I could have sworn that I was in Macon , Georgia. But given the fact that it was 3 degrees outside with the wind blowing like crazy I very quickly realized that I was not in Georgia.

Another cool thing was I got to see the old actor Micky Rooney in the hotel lobby this morning. His latest film was "A Night at the Museum" He was the short little old security guard that was full of piss and vinegar. He was pretty much acting the same way this morning.

One more cool thing, My latest DVD is ready and it is a good one. It is called "Photoshop Tips for the Working Photographer" it has over 30 lessons for Photoshop that all photographers should know. If you would like to have one, just e mail me. Each of my DVD titles are $ 99.00 each with a deal at the moment on a 3 in 1 package of my titles "Photoshop Basics for Digital Photographers" , "Album Design from Scratch and the NEW one "Photoshop Tips for the Working Photographer" All 3 FOR $199.00

All 4 of my web sites are being redesigned at the moment so these prices are not on the web site. Just e mail or call me 770-355-9644
