" The Oldest Cemetary In Brunswick, GA "

These images were made on one of my many trips to the coast of Georgia. This was the first cemetary in Brunswick and has some plots from the 1700's. I just loved the old live oaks covered with moss. There were quite a few confederate graves and most had flags from Memorial Day. The light on this one was really spectacular. The wind allowed for the motion to show on the moss.

The other image was from the grave of Eula Brown, wife of Harry F. Dunwoody. Born in 1862 and died in 1890, only 28 years old. The headstone was very unique and I shot quite a few images, this was the best. The city of Brunswick still maintains the cemetary today. Hope you enjoy!!

"Sold"

What a great feeling it is to sell an image. This image was sold at my show in Brunswick, GA. It was actually shot in the upstairs portion of the Ritz Theatre where the show was held. They had begun renovations, but hadn't got to this area yet. It was one of those right place at the right time photos and only lasted about 3 minutes. Always be ready!!

" Some Locals From Brunswick, GA"

Here are a couple of images of local people from my trip to Brunswick, GA in October. The first image was an accident sort of, I stopped and parked to photograph a front porch with a hammock. When I got out I saw the girl playing on her Mom's front porch amongst the laundry hung out to dry. I thought, what a cool shot, I didn't even notice the play pistol in her hand when I shot the image, but what an addition to the image.

The second image was a group of folks sitting under some trees in their front yard plating Spades. I drove by once to scope it out, then went around the block and came back to ask if I could photograph them playing. As usual they were happy to let me. This is the only shot out of about 30 that I wanted to use. I love this shot as it seems to show all about the game.

"Back to Brunswick, GA"

I am hreaded back to Brunswick to pick up all my work. Will be photographing for the last time for a while on the coast of Georgia. I have never shot there in the winter, hoping for some clouds on the beach. Not to run it in the ground, but this is a wonderful place to shoot anytime you can. Jekyll Island is great for a lot of different opportunities, beach, dunes, marsh and of course the driftwood on Driftwood Beach. If ypu ever get the chance to go, don't miss it. Hope you enjoy!!

Won't be posting again until after Thanksgiving, unless I find time while on the beach.

"Driftwood Beach"

Well I have been back to Brunswick, GA again. I have an exhibit hanging in the Ritz Theatre downtown. The Golden Isles Arts and Humanities Association was kind enough to give me a one man show thru November 26, 2008. Please come by and see my work if you are in the area.

While there I visited Jekyll Island and Driftwood Beach for the third time. This is one of the most beautiful places in Georgia. The island is accessable for only a $3 a day fee. It has beaches, dunes, wildlife, bike trails and a lot of history. Please visit, you will be impressed. I look forward to my visit in November for one last shoot when I pick up my work.

Last of "The Ritz"

These are the last photos from the third floor of "The Ritz Theatre" in Brunswick, GA. What a unique place to photograph. I have always been drawn to old abandoned places since I began photographing in 1974. I really can't explain it but that is one of my favorite things to photograph.

This place had some of the best light I've seen lately and it was midday so we weren't able to shoot much of anywhere else. I will be back down there in October, it is a beautiful place, so check it out if you get the chance.

HAPPY JULY 4TH!!
