Love My Typos, Don't You !!

Just a note about my last post, smiling sofa, I guess you figured that out. Sorry I never said I could type, but I try.

I have a reception coming up on July 5, 2008 from 2-6PM at Gallery 4463 in Acworth Ga. The gallery is located at 4463 Cherokee Street in Acworth. This is a gallery I joined recently and this is my first time with work showing. There are about 30 artists represented in the gallery, with many mediums. Please come out and support me and all the artists.

I tend to photograph a little better than I type.

A Smiking Sofa & Some Trash !!

These images were made above the gallery at The Ritz Theatre in Brunswick, GA. The sofa really grabbed my attention as soon as I came into the room. The tear in the front was an added addition to the image.

The trash cans were very graphic and the light through the window was amazing. I took about 20 images from all angles and these were the best. The light in the upstairs area was unbelievably as you will see in my later posts from the same shoot.

Sorry to be so late posting today, but I was unable to upload any photos for a few hours today, some kind of an error with the software. Have a great night, will post early tomorrow morning.

Beauty and Ugly!!

Just a quick post today, I'm very busy. Here is a touch of two worlds, both taken at the same location in downtown Brunswick, GA. I hope you like these two. I will try to get on with the Ritz photos later today.

The Ritz !!

The actual reason for my trip to the Georgia coast was to meet the director of the Golden Isles Arts and Humanities Association, Heather Heath. I was meeting her and looking at the gallery to help make decisions about the number of prints I need for my show October 3 - November 26, 2008.

The gallery is in the old Ritz Theatre in downtown Brunswick and while we were there Heather mentioned the upper stories of the theatre had not been rennovated, if you know my work at all that was a photo op I could not pass up.

This was the first image I made on the second floor, you can tell artists and actors frequent this place. It turned out to be a treasure trove of photographic opportunity for me. I will post more images later today. Have a great morning.

Last Brunswick Downtown!!

These images were all shot around the Glynn county courthouse, as I said before it"s beautiful. These are all midday shots, but the light is still passable. The plant is also some kind of palm, with the first one being the inside close up. I'm through with the downtown stuff so we will be moving on later today. Gotta go for now.

Downtown Brunswick, GA

The Glynn county courthouse is one of the most elegant and well landscaped I've ever seen. The grounds are loaded with palms and all kinds of flowers. The courthouse itself is drop dead gorgeous and very photogenic even at midday. We had the intentions of coming back in the afternoon to photograph it in better light, but didn't make it. Too much to photograph and not enough time. Will post later today, have a great day.

Brunswick Trip !!

These images are from the docks and the farmer's market near there. The first image was really great, a shrimp boat that hadn't been to sea in years and Old Glory was still flying proud. The next imsge is just watermelons in some cool light. Madagascar palm in bloom, at least I was told that was the name of this plant, they are very common on the Georgia coast. The last image is just more melons in cooler light. Will continue to post more images from my trip as they are processed. Have a great night.
