  1. Some very cool shots on here lately!

    I stopped at the Kilgore-Lewis House and Gardens today at lunch to snap a few pics. Here is a shot from the "back yard" looking over Springwood Cemetery:

    ***Edited because the coffee obviously hadn't kicked in yet...

  2. You guys know how I love bright colors in my shots! Well, the most colorful place in downtown would have to be the corner (is it McBee?) where the Christian Academy's art is displayed all along the wall. Here's one example of this beautiful art display:

  3. Here's one that I snapped of my daughter's glove and hat during Friday's G-Drive win over the Columbus Catfish.

    Now you've hit a soft spot of mine... vintage (and vintage-looking) sports shots. Excellent shot. Our playroom is done in antique golf and other sport implements and vintage baseball posters (Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth, Roger Maris). Well done you!

  4. ...ingenious shot that makes your photo resemble a Monet painting! The "blurry, almost bleeding" red effect of the plant in the backrop & hints of "sky" blue and green are superb...Good work!

    Thanks! I'm particularly pleased with this one myself.

  5. :offtopic: I know this is off topic, but the last few weeks I have been trying to restore and archive some of my Dads old photos, some of witch were in very bad shape. I just thought I would share one with

    you guys.

    This is a photo of C.R. Laughter [My Dad on the right ] doing maintenance on one of the [68] 40 mm AA guns aboard the U.S.S. Randolph [C.V.15 Ticonderoga class] aircraft carrier.

    This was 1946 and my dad was 18 years old

    How cool is that to have a pic of your dad working on the aircraft carrier! I've got pics of my dad when he served in Japan but they all seem to be during furlough... beer in hand... etc.

    I thought about you this a.m. while I was wandering around Falls Park (about 7:45 a.m.) - wondering where you'd been!

  6. It's on the corner of Richardson and Washington...you were obviously on the Washington side when you took this. Beautiful photo! I love the architecture on this church and the St. Mary's Catholic Church on down the way. Both would make excellent nighttime subjects, too.

    And on that note, Friday evening edition:

  7. There is a giant canopy over the entire outdoor seating section now. I kept thinking how terrible it was that a tree was cut down just to increase the seating capacity, but with the permanent canopy it looks much better now.

    I'll have to check that out. I'm wanting to get up to the Jazz Caverns for lunch one day next week to try the Southern Fusion Egg Rolls. I'll check it out then.

  8. Wednesday morning edition:

    This was taken on the day of the National Day of Prayer gathering at Piazza Bergamo. I really goofed before the event and accidentally set my camera's speed to 1600 when I was trying to set it to AUTO. Did you know that if you accidently go past AUTO it jumps to the top of the speed list? Grrr.... this is one of the only salvagable pics from that day.
