Facebook Stole My Bloging Time

Wow, has it really been over a year since I posted anything to this Blog?  Guess so. Facebook seems to have killed off a lot of the great blogs that we followed just a few years ago.  I hope to be able to talk about some of my new projects on here soon.  You can see them on the several Facebook pages that I publish, but I think it will be fun to post to this blog again, even if only a few people check it out.  The photo is from last weekends wedding of my former assistant Justin and his lovely bride.

This is a wedding album that I restored at the shop this week.

Not a Lot

What is Scott doing lately?  Well other than shooting some weddings, teaching some classes and running the Image Doctor shop, not much.  And that is just the way I want it.

Just a few more photos from last weekend.  One of them is a 40 second long exposure of two old hippies that I met at around midnight out on the beach.  I call it "Moon Bathers"

Another Long Exposure photograph from this weekend. Thanks for the nice comments everyone. We will be doing a workshop this Fall at Jekyll Island on this type of photography. Send me a message with your e mail address and I will put you on the list of those interested in these workshops. You will not get any spam or junk mail from me , just class information.  E mail me at imagedocmedia@gmail.com

You Can Check Out

Shot this at Midnight on the beach the other night.  The web posting does not really do the colors justice.  Right now I am calling it "You Can Check Out But You Can Never Leave"
Oh, and the scene did not look like this,  this is a 30 second exposure. It was pitch black dark.  I will post more from this adventure later.

A Cool Couple and a Truck

I had the pleasure today of working with a cool couple who will be married in Arkansas next year.
This is one of the photos that we will be making into a very large canvas art piece.

Tonight's Wedding

Just a few photos from tonight's wedding 

because I can not sleep.

Hand Coloring Black and White Photos

These 2 photos are from a student of mine who is taking my Basic Photography and Basic Photoshop Elements Class.  She was also in the Macro Photography Class 2 weeks ago.  Anyway, she also took my Hand Coloring Black and White Photos class and just sent me her first work of art.  The original photo is of a back alley behind some row houses in England where she grew up.  I think she did quite well.
I will be doing another Hand Coloring Class this summer.  If you are not on my class mailing list but would like to be, just send me an e mail and I will put you on it.  No Spam just Class info will be sent.

Sober and On Time

You know that has to be what she told him.

Macro Photography Class

These images are from some of the students  who took my Macro Photography Class last Sunday.
The photos were taken in the gardens at Hazlehurst House in McDonough

I think they did very well.

We will do this class again very soon.  Call 770-355-9644or e mail me at imagedocmedia@gmail.com  to get on the class email list !

The Bridal Portrait for Last Weeks Wedding

I just had to share this one.

My Bride Today was a FIREBALL

I had so much fun with her today. We almost lost the veil to a gust of wind on the roof of the Georgian Terrace. Here are just a few photos.

Plans for this years first Wedding Photography School are well under way. Stay tuned for dates and how to sign up. Looks like it will be end of September.

Good night all.

I am going to bed. Another event tomorrow.

A Few from this Months Weddings

It has been above 90 degrees every day here in Georgia for over a month. When I left the shop today the temp in my truck was 117. WHY WHY WHY do people have out door weddings in July in GA ? Lucky for me, only 2 of my July weddings were outside. Here are a few photos.

Also, we are about to announce the dates for Wedding School. 5 Days with Me and several other photographers and speakers on all things wedding photography. Class size will be very limited this year. To get the dates and to register 2 days before the announcement send me an e mail at scott@scottevans.com and I will put you on the advance e mail list.

100 Degrees of Passion

This weekend we had 3 weddings going on the same day. I shot 2 myself and our associate Donnie shot one at The Hazelhurst House. It was 95 degrees by 11am here in Georgia and it only got hotter. I left the first wedding in Atlanta at 4 and raced to the second one out in the country. In this photo, it was 100 degrees and the horse poop in the pasture was starting to make steam.

UBL DEAD

Thanks to the US CIA, Navy Seals, and I'll almost bet the 160th SOAR from Ft Campbell, KY (Seals Taxi Service) I just hope that Obama does not try to take ALL the credit.

Richmond, Va

It is very late (almost 4 am) and I just got back to my hotel after shooting this couple since Friday. It was a trying day to say the least. A whole bunch of people in the wedding party, logistic issues with three different locations at four different times, shuttle buses, 300 guests and an unenthusiastic groom. Those are the not so great points. The good stuff is that the bride was fantastic. Beautiful, cooperative, calm, gracious. Her parents were wonderful as well, so were the grooms parents. All very nice people.

I feel as if this week started on Wednesday with Janet the dogs and I huddled in the hall closet as the worst tornado outbreak in US history decided to take aim directly at my town at 1:30 Thursday morning. I tracked the storms all afternoon on Wed an am glad that I did. Just as the largest tornado was about to hit McDonough it just disappeared, just a half a mile from town.

Thursday Am I jumped in the car and drove to Richmond. Not a short ride at all. Friday was rehearsal at the church and then dinner at Country Club of Virginia (Nice Joint) and then the wedding all over the place today. I have only downloaded one camera card so I will only share one photo. I am going to bed. Thanks for reading.

A Change ?

I am getting rather board with being a "Pillar of the Community"
I think I will give that title up for a while.

Birmingham,Al

What a GREAT time I had at this weekends wedding in Birmingham with a big ole bunch of people and toddlers ! We snuck onto roof tops, drank beer and partied with a fantastic Soul/East coast beach music band with a killer horn section.

Married 80 Years

I just got back to a computer after tonight's wedding.
You know how at some weddings they do a dance where they call out "If you have been married less than x amount of years please leave the dance floor". And then it whittles down to the couple that has been married the longest. Well tonight we had a couple that has been married 80 Years. They were married in 1930. AND THEY WERE STILL MOVING AROUND !
My parents have been married for 60 years and I though that was really something.
Oh and my bride and groom were 68 and 70 years old.
Git It !
