I had the privilege of photographing two weddings in one day yesterday. I don't normally book two weddings in one day, but yesterday was an exception.
The original weddings was a beautiful 25th wedding anniversary renewal for a fantastic couple in our church who were not only husband and wife but passionate friends. You can tell by how they looked at each other and how they talked about each other. Congratulations Scott and Rhonda.
The other wedding was a last minute request from a friend for a friend. An emergency in the family required the bride and groom to move up their wedding. A beautiful quaint wedding in the chapel of a local methodist church. I had never met them before, but that didn't hinder getting some great shots. Congratulations Hugh and Angela.
I will be posting a couple of pics tomorrow for each wedding.
Thanks to everyone for the privelege to be a part of your celebration. God bless you all.

Photo Biz Bootcamp by Liana Lehman
I have just started the Photo Biz Bootcamp offered by Liana Lehman based here in Atlanta, GA. She is a very accomplished entrepenuer and photographer. I am really looking forward to the bootcamp.
One thing is on my mind though. I'm going to have to take a really hard look at why I am doing what I'm doing. Setting priorities, getting a grip on running the biz. Most of all balancing my family, photography business and my day job.
I will add posts here and there about some of the things that really hit home for me during this time. She has sent me a DVD that I need to follow 10 steps in preparation for a 3 day Bootcamp at her studio here in Atlanta. This will be in December, so plenty of time to mull things over and prepare.
More later.
Enjoy

Nikki and Chris : : Congratulations!
Nikki and Chris,
You guys are a blast. I had a great time Saturday. Thanks so much for getting up early and coming out to Vines. It was a pleasure getting to know you both better (and getting Chris to relax). And Chris, you have "about" 20 more photos to add.
Here are a few from this Saturday.
You can also view the slideshow here.

Drumline Ho !!!
My son went to his first football game as a part of his high school's drumline. They were awsome to say the least.
Check out the pics below. These are just a few of them.
If you notice, there were not any pictures of the drumline on the field during halftime. Guess what? As soon as the first half was over and the drumline lined up to enter the field, it started pouring down rain. They of course performed through the rain. It sort of reminded me of the "blue men" you see on the tele. With all the water splashing off the drums. It was really cool.
As you might have guessed, I don't have a waterproof camera nor a hoody to protect it, so I had to scramble to get it in the case and protected from the rain. and didn't get any pictures of them playing.
On a side note, the head coach is a fascinating guy. He served in the military as a Drill Sargent and looks like he can be tough as nails. Actually, he is. But he prides himself on not only being tough but letting his guys know that he loves them and so does Christ. He calls everyone Babe.
Anyway, there is always this Friday. Stay tuned.

Enjoy.

Major Dry Spell !!!
All,
I owe all my faithful bloggers an apology. I have been completely bone head about my total lack of NOT posting to my blog.
I want to thank a very good friend, Stephen Troell Stephen Troell Photography, for his prodding and shaming because I have not posted anything new in quite some time.
Again, my apologies. I will take this lesson and attempt to post at least three times per week (thanks Stephen). I will try to have something new to post either from a photo project, wedding, or something new I learned today about photography in general.
I'm going to begin looking into a way to start giving back. I have read all of the David Jay blogs. I am a failful member of OSP (Open Source Photo) and do subscribe to the thought of others first. It's just this old fleshly nature that we have sometimes kicks in and we revert back to "self preservation".
God bless.

PS. Watch for a post of my son's first football game where he is in the drumline.
