Hugh and Angela's Wedding | 09.22.2007

Angela and Hugh's wedding was a small gathering of family and friends, but it was beautiful and fun. They have been waiting on me to post some pictures for them, and guess what, I finally got some posted. Here are six of my favorites and I have also posted a slideshow on my website HERE.

Angela and Hugh, thank you for your patience and understanding. I wanted to post something for you to take a peek at while I continue to finish the remaining photographs.

Thank you again.

Please leave comments. They help me make the necessary changes to better serve you.

JoJo's Last Ball Game

My oldest son is in his high school's drumline. I must admit (not just because I'm his dad) that he is quite good. He played for a couple of years prior. This is the inaugural year for his schools drumline. Mr. R really made something out of nothing. He started the drumline this past summer with a group of kids that never did touch a drum stick or a drum before, with the exception of a couple. He practiced with them all summer.

When the first football game came and they went out onto the field, it started pouring down rain. Everyone except them ran for cover. They stayed in formation and played to the end. It was very cool. With the water bouncing off the drums as they beat them, reminds me of the "Blue Men".

They all did very well and I am very grateful for all those who helped mold these kids this summer.

I had the priveledge of photographing the drumline's formal picture this year. Mr. R asked me to photoshop a placard onto the picture. You can see it below.

This picture was taken on the way to my son's last football game where he was playing for the drumline. I saw this beautiful sky as I was driving past this small country church with a graveyard. I thought I would get out and take a few pictures. I am beginning to like very blue skys.

Let me know what you all think.

They Grow Up Fast

You know, you have children and worry about the lost sleep. Then you worry about them going off to school for the first time. Then there is more worry for things that just have not happened yet. Worry is a strong word. I can be obsessive.

Right now, I couldn't be more proud of my oldest son. He is now 14 years of age. He is just 2 inches shorter than me. He was bummed after a doctor's physical for JV basketball where she told him he was only 5' 11". I am 6' 1". He was really expecting to be as tall as me.

In due time my son.

Anyway, he will be 15 in November and, yes, he is talking about the dreaded permit. I feel for him. I remember how I felt when it was my time.

I drone on. Sorry about that. Below you will see some recent pics of my son at his first Homecoming "Dance" for his school. There is a long story behind the "Dance" part of it. If you want to know, look me up.

He is a hit with all the girls and after seeing these pics, I can see why. Leave me a line below. I really like to hear what folks think of my work, good or not so good. It helps me grow.

God bless.

Ashely and Jason, September 15, 2007 Wedding

Jason and Ashley, you are really the greatest. I am so grateful for knowing this great young couple. Jason and Ashley's wedding was spectacular. It was one of the longest and exhausting weddings I have done, but, it is weird, I felt the best I have ever felt after a wedding. I really was blessed to get to know Jason and Ashley's parents better. I want to send out a big wave to Pat and Deanna, Ashley's grandparents. I told them the other day, I wish they were my grandparents. They are the sweetest you will ever meet.

Jason and Ashley have been so patient with me. It has been one month since their wedding and I am just know getting a select few pictures on my blog. Don't worry though, I will posting your slide show tomorrow evening for your viewing pleasure. I am continuing to post-process the 2000+ remaining pictures.

My deepest apologies for the slow turnaround, I have been swamped.

I hope you enjoy just these few pictures. I will post the slide show shortly.
