First Sale

Last Friday I wrote “Today also marks my first day as a ‘real’ freelance photographer.” Page 24 of today’s Alpharetta Revue and News is the first evidence of that. click on the image for a larger version The image they printed is a crop of this shot. There’s no photo credit in the version of […]

Reflections In The Rain

Last night’s practice was a rainy one; here’s an attempt at getting a little more creative than usual. click on the image for a larger version This is a shot of Paul, or more accurately his reflection in a fellow sousaphone player’s instrument. I’d been trying to get this shot during the past few rehearsals, […]

Refreshing Spray on a Hot Day

Today’s picture comes from this past weekend’s car wash, financial benefits of which went to the MHS Band’s drumline for equipment, uniforms and such. click on the image for a larger version The thermometers said 100f, and with the humidity added in the ‘heat index’ was somewhere just shy of 110, so the kids were […]

Console, wireless controller, detachable hard disk, headset, remote control and cables. Oh yea, and there’s also a lower-cost option, the Xbox 360 Core System, but get real – why bother? It’s not […]

His writing also inspired me to give the Grateful Dead a listen. I’d heard of […]

New Photos Posted

I’ve posted new marching band pictures from last night’s rehearsal, the first in the new stadium. (The Milton High School community’s moving into a brand new building; classes begin this coming Monday.)
