I wanted to post something new. I came across this image and it struck me in two ways.
The first. This was one tough photo to take for various reasons. It was dark. It was raining. The model T was moving. We were using off camera lighting so Henderson and I were both running with the car. Plus, I’m having to find focus and frame the shot. And my phone was ringing because the coordinator was saying the reception would start in 5 minutes.
The second. The grandfather driving really grabbed my attention. I wish I could have taken one photograph of my grandfather. Just one. Or have my grandfather at my wedding driving me in his Model T. Priceless!
So we were out there shooting the impossible in hard conditions. I knew one day, though, this would have even more meaning than a wedding day photograph.
And here’s my own grandfather and grandmother. They were farmers in the South. This was taken well before I was born but has always been one of my favorites.
And don’t forget! When we hit 1,000 facebook fans we are giving away an Ipod Touch. We are already half way!
I was asked by Chasity(pictured below) the other day what I did in my free time. I was a bit lost for a response. I wanted to say photography but that sounded kind of odd. It’s true though!
Well here’s a shot of the couple that made this post happen.Their engagement photos are going to be absolutely ridiculous! I promise to post them. Right after I post some of Jamie and Scott’s photos.
I figured I would share some of the things I’ve been photographing outside of weddings. These are pretty much projects that spanned over the year so far. And no, I don’t shoot bands. I plan on experimenting with a new style of photography when I get some free time in late November. Unless there’s a turkey wedding that pops up!

I even did the design for two of the albums. That was a lot of fun and it also pushed my creative limits.
I went up to the old Adluh Flour Mill here in Columbia. It has actually been around since around the year 1900 and is still a running mill. I tried some HDR(High Dynamic Range) images. This isn’t HDR, though, just a classic photo. I love this place though! Don’t think Columbia would be the same without it.
