Candis & Adam

 

A few weeks ago my fellow photogfriend, Jason Baisdon and I, attended a photography lecture at the Birmingham Museum of Art. The lecture was by Carlin Wing, who has a very interesting perspective to say the least. Basically she will not photograph people because of ethical reasons. For example, she has a series of photographs of the carpet of  Carnival cruise ships. Also a series of ceilings that she has slept under. Anyway, Jason and I decided to go a couple of hours before the lecture started, and did some shooting around downtown. This is some of what I got. The best part of the day was a bowl of chili and a grilled cheese from Sophia's. Man, if you have not had their chili, .. Go get ya some!

Photonerdnote-The square images were shot with a holga using color slide film cross processed to create funky colors. The rectanglular pictures were shot using a Pentax 6x7 loaded with Kodak 400vc.



Winter is coming

Jesus is everywhere

I took this picture about 15 years ago in Cheaha State Park. This was a broken off tree that caught my eye at the right moment. Thank God I had my camera.

The Head family

Cindy and I have been friends since high school, through college and now we are neighbors. She and Brent created these two lovely ones. These are a few shots from our family portrait session last weekend.

Sofia

 

I have been sticking my camera in Sofia's face since before she can remember. I guess you can see why.

Sweet Sixteen

Anna is my niece and she is now the big 16. This was taken while we were decorating for her party. The party was held in New Hope, Alabama, at New Hope Gym. This was a wonderful  old building. I am guessing, but it must be close to 100 years old.  Although ,Anna did a nice job dressing my dog, Oliver, for the party , he did not get to come.

Unnoppet Family

Nop and I go way back. We met in high school, and quickly became friends due to our love of music and other funny sounds. ( It is a long story). Nop left my school for another high school to play tennis. He is an extremely amazing Tennis player. Through the years we have lost touch for periods, but have always remained good friends. Now Nop and Sonya are living back in Birmingham, and we are picking up our friendship again.  These photos were taken during my one on one workshop with Jonathan Canlas.
