I have been “protected” for about a year now via Norton and felt that I was reasonably secure.  Yet when the subscription ran out I continually ignored the warnings to upgrade, probably because I really didn’t want to come out of pocket for anything.  So it was no real shock to me when my computer […]

I received word last week that one of my City Hall East photos was selected as the winner for the Creative Loafing Flickr contest. Rarely do I win anything.  And by rarely I of course mean…never.  You can tell that I never win anything because I thought the mail was spam at first.
 So this was […]

Recently I had my first photo stroll with some really great people: South Atlanta Flickr.  The group’s admin, Julie Harnage, and a few others continued after I had to leave.  I wish I had stayed as she captured this shot:

I love this subject.  For some reason it speaks to me.  I tried to explain to […]

Last week I finally made a purchase of a new lens.  If you ask my buddy Dave, he will tell you “’bout time” as I have been discussing this for too long.  On Friday, my Sigma 10-20mm lens arrived and I couldn’t be happier.

You surely have seen those who have found an old family photograph and paid to have it “restored” to appear newer, repair scratches, rips, and tears, and to even convert a black & white photograph into something with more color.  How about the reverse process, taking something new and making it appear aged and worn?  […]

Lately I have been working on processing a group of photographs taken in an abandoned home here in Georgia.  To make room for development, the old has to be tossed out, leaving a small gem for those interesting in exploration photography of this type.
As uncomfortable as I was being in this house taking pictures, I […]

On May 13th, 10 years drops their sophmore effort to pleasure your earholes.  When I first heard the single for the new album, I immediately questioned if this album would hold up to their first album, The Autmn Effect, or if it would fall into the ”Sophmore Slump” category.  I am happy to report this album lived up to […]

As I shoot more and more with the Holga, I am continually learning the ins and outs of the camera.  At the very heart of the Holga is the fact that it is only just a toy camera, which strips clear much of the boundaries I have operated in for some time now.  However, that […]
