" A Late Night Walk "

This is an image I shot last night at the Marietta Cemetary. It is an old, old cemetary in downtown Marietta. It sits adjacent to the Confederate Memorial Cemetary. I was walking through and shooting some long hand held exposures when I saw the cracks in the old road. They really looked spooky along with the headstones. I shot 3 or 4 images and this was the best. They were shot by streetlight, hence the orangy light. I stayed for about an hour and shot some really cool images. I will post some more this week. Hope you enjoy!!

" 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!!

" Helena, GA Courthouse "

A beautiful early morning shot of the Helena, GA courthouse. It has been abandoned for quite some time, but was a great shot just after sunrise. Helena is located on the Golden Isles Parkway outside Macon, GA on my way to Brunswick, GA. It is a very small town, very interesting with lots of old shops and buildings. Stop by if you get a chance, the photo ops are well worth the stop. Hope you enjoy.

" Holiday Show at Gallery 4463 "

The Holiday Show will open tonight at 6PM at Gallery 4463 located at 4463 Cherokee Street, Acworth, GA. This show has work from over 30 local artists in a variety of mediums. Please come out and support the local artists and enjoy some great food, wine and fellowship with us.

" 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.

"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.

Just a couple of images from a trip I made to Rome, GA earlier this spring. We went as a group from the Paulding Photography Club, if anyone is interested in becoming a member you can contact me . I am the founder and president.

Sorry I've been a little slack on posting lately, lot going on with my galleries and work. I am leaving for Brunswick,GA at 4AM tomorrow morning and will try to post images from Jekyll Island, Brunswick and Savannah

as I shoot them. Hope to have some great stuff. I am meeting with the director of the Golden Isles Arts and Humanities Association for a show October 3 - November 26, 2008. Hope some of you can travel there for the reception, what a beautiful area to visit. Will be posting tomorrow from the road.
