Memorial Day Weekend

Summer is here and it is Memorial Day Weekend. I will be participating in Star Chapter 111's 8th Annual Andersonville Memorial Day Weekend Event. Hopefully when the weekend is over I will have some good photos to share/ The trip to the Andersonville National Cemetery and POW museum will offer plenty of photo opportunites.

Please remember what Memorial Day is about. It is a day set aside to honor those who have paid the ultimate price to protect our freedom and way of life. So while you are cooking your burgers and hot dogs, or whatever you do on this coming long weekend. Take a moment and remember all those who have died in service to our country. From the American Revolution soldier who fought for out independence to the soldier most recently killed in the Middle East defending freedom...remember them all.

Have a great weekend and look for pictures after the holiday.

Outer Banks 2010

Last October we did a week in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. What a great trip that was. We enjoyed a fantastic weekend with good friends in a great location. Of course I took pictures. A lot of pictures. There is plenty there to photograph. Everything from seashore to animals to lighthouses and more. I think you could easily spend months there doing nothing but taking pictures. This is just a few of several differnt things that I shot. Over the next few days I will add some more of the pictures I took there.

Road Trip 5/21/11

Yesterday we made a trip to south/central Georgia to finalize some details on our upcoming Memorial Day motorcycle event. As always I had my camera along. The area is heavy in peach and pecan orchards. This would be a great area to spend a day shooting orchards, farmland, old building and a lot more. Maybe one weekend I will go back and do just that. For now these are a few shots taked at a peach packing plant.

My Granddaughter

I'm not one to take many "people pictures". Of course I take pictures at family events and such, but I just don't think of myselft as a very good photographer of people. However, every now and then you just get luck and get a good shot. My granddaughter was dressed so cute  and the lighting was just right and it came out pretty good.

This was taken back in September so the picture is about nine months old and my granddaughter is nine months older.

DeSoto Fall

A quick picture taken late in 2010 at Desoto Falls in NE Alabama. I like the picture because of the warm colors and the feeling of fall that it conveys.

First Picture Post

Everywhere I go I try to take a camera. That is especially true when I am doing a motorcycle ride. I can't shoot while driving but when we stop I sometimes get some nice pictures. These aren't that great but I wanted to get something posted and this is what I found really quick.

Both of these were on a ride across the Cherohala Parkway that goes from Tennnessee to North Carolina, a ride we do almost every year in the fall. Nothing beats a ride accross the mountains of northern Georgia, Tennesse and North Carolina on a beautiful fall day. The trees are dressed in their finest colors. The air is cool and fresh as it kisses your face. The sun warms the skin and your eyes are just overcome with color and the vastness of it all.

G1 Photography

This site was set up as a venue for my photography to be shared. I have taken photographs since I was a child. It is something that has intrigued me for over 45 years now. It is one of the few things I have never lost interest in.

I really enjoy nature photography, whether it is a grandiose panarama of the Rocky Mountains, or a closeup of the tiniest creature. I love to capture and display God's creations. Everywhere we look we see His handiwork.

I also enjoy photographing some manmade objects as well. I enjoy taking photos of architecture, motor vehicles and still life. Additionally, I use my photography skills to display and market my hand crafted ink pens.

I hope to post new stuff here on a regular basis. No telling what you will see here so keep checking back for new pictures.
