This photo was taken in nearby Byromville, Georgia. This small town was founded in the 1850’s but not incorporated until 1905. This community today numbers less than 500 people. There’s still a sense of community there, but like much of the other Georgia (outside the sphere of Atlanta), there’s a feeling that for the moment…
As I’ve continued my trek through the photo archives (bless the down time), I’ve posted some more pictures from Rome. If you want to see them all, check out my Italy Photo Prints. Some Highlights: Before I went to Rome, it seemed like I had seen a dozen documentaries on ancient Rome that included information…
Another recent print posted from the archives. This is one of my favorites from North Georgia. I wish I even knew exactly where it was. I had spent a day wandering North Georgia. I know for sure I had had visited Brasstown Bald and had snaked across some of North Georgia and driven through Blairsville. …
I took this California Surfer photo near Santa Cruz on my first visit there. I had a long weekend in California thanks to a Monday business meeting and used the opportunity to spend a weekend checking out California and mainly wandering the Pacific coast on State Highway 1. It was my first time seeing the…
I’m somewhat active on flickr, but then I’m somewhat active on a few art sites. Flickr, though, at the moment, is probably where I’m most consistently active. I especially keep current on the local groups for the Atlanta area. A relatively recent addition to the list is the Atlanta Creative Post, a group where members…
Hello all! I’m participating in another show as part of the Atlanta Castleberry Hill art stroll this Friday night. Unfortunately I will not be there myself as I will be with my folks over the weekend, but I helped with the set up for the show last night and there’s some truly great work in…
This weekend was the 13th annual Beaver Creek Festival in Montezuma, Georgia. I decided this year to both get a booth as well as enter some photography in the art show held in conjunction with it. The photos in the event had to be of local scenes, which was not a problem for me. The…
Though the distance between us grows, we’re never really apart, that’s what this photo means to me when I look at it. Aside from the obviously beautiful golden color, what speaks to me most is the line in the water connecting the two silhouetted figures. The boat wake is a story line that connects the…
I’ve entered two pieces in the Macon County Historical Society Art and Photography show this year. The show is listed as taking place Thursday October 25th from 4pm to 6pm. All entries will also be on display that following Saturday, October 27th, at the museum in the historic Montezuma Depot, as part of the annual…
Pictured here is one of the office tower’s in downtown Atlanta. I love the architecture of this building. I’ve read it described as post-modern architecture in style. To my eye, it’s reminiscent of art deco or at least inspired by that architectural style, even if it was built in the early 1990’s. It reminded me…
We did set up tonight for our show that photo show that runs Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Afterwards grabbing dinner, and then the drive back out to the burbs… groan… So, I get to make my planned Thursday post for the show on Friday! This is local for you folks in the Atlanta area….
Late last week, I heard about this show Composition Gallery near Candler Park here in Atlanta. As it so happened, when I ordered my print for another show I’m participating in during July, I decided to order a few additional prints. A couple were in hopes of getting into the Slow Exposures show I submitted my entry…
Spent the past two weekends haunting an area on the Chattahoochee river that’s full of ducks and geese like this young goose from last weekend. The humorous (?!?) thing is that there are signs all over the place saying not to feed the ducks or geese even listing the multitude of reasons it’s a bad idea. And…
Quite interesting news from Imagekind yesterday as they have partnered with Flickr. As a casual user of flickr and someone actively advertising my prints gallery at imagekind, this is very interesting news. One of the things noticeably absent from Flicrk was a mechanism to sell prints. Flickr definitely has the community thing going (although I…
