Concluding a busy weekend, I ventured out to the Metropolitan Cooking & Entertaining Show at the Cobb Galleria on Sunday.

Paula Deen, along with Gina and Pat Neely, were the Food Network TV stars on hand for live cooking demos.

I never realized how funny they were. You don't really get a sense of it looking on that screen in your living room. You have to see them in person.

Searching for A-List celebs and Renaissance men and women

After running to the Atlanta airport on Friday evening looking for a husband and wife A-list celeb couple, only to figure out they de-planed to a waiting limo and never came up through the baggage claim area, I slugged back home without any pics. Oh well, such is the life in the fast-paced world of celeb photography.

The next morning it was off to Fairburn for the 24th annual Georgia Renaissance Festival. It was a much easier shoot. Pretty much everyone there EXPECTS to have their pic snapped and they don't shy away from the camera.

A good example are these two swarthy pirates. Now, I haven't quite figured out how pirates of the Spanish Main fit into the Renaissance era, but these two were pretty photogenic.

Although I don't agree with what the blog-writer scribed, I hope I get some business bounce off of the link. Afterall, these are tough economic times and all of us small business owners are trying to survive.

Thanks to CNN Money.com, this image has been viewed over 2,300 times...the second-most viewed of my nearly 7,000 images on Flickr. The most-viewed is a U.S. Army Reserve Soldier - Hooah!!!!

Rocky, our three-legged cat. My wife found him at our vet. in Va. He was missing his right paw. The vet didn't know if he caught it on something or if someone cut it off. It had a tough time healing and when we moved to Ga., the vet. here recommended we have the leg amputated. I didn't want to at first but he doesn't even seem to know it the way he runs through the house!

Originally uploaded by Infinity Fotos

Union Station in Washington, D.C. Opened on October 27, 1907 and completed in 1908, Union Station is considered to be one of the finest examples of the Beaux-Arts style of architecture. Architect, Daniel Burnham designed the building to be monumental in every respect and to serve as a gateway for the capital city. Seventy pounds of 22-karat gold leaf adorned the 96-foot barrel-vaulted, coffered ceilings. The white granite and classic lines of Union Station set the stage for the next 40 years of Washington's classic architecture - reflected in the construction of the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials and the Supreme Court building. The cost was monumental as well - $125 million for the Station and its approaches.

Carrying photo gear on assignments

2008-02-01T22:19:00.001-05:00

Greetings,
While in between the old home in VA and the new one in GA, I've managed to pick-up a couple of assignments for ZUMA Press in the Atlanta area this weekend.

Since some of my gear, bags and photo accessories are presently in transit here, I've had to take a rather large bag and fit it into something smaller.

I did bring my Mountainsmith Tour pack with me but never could quite make good use of it the past year or so that I've owned it. However, yesterday I came across Steven Frischling's "Flying with Fish" blogspot. What a wealth of knowledge and talent he has when it comes to photography and travel.

I highly recommend reading his blog.

By the end of November, I will have pulled up stakes in VA and be relocating to the Atlanta area.

It is a big change but will provide a vast array of photography opportunities that I don't have in my present location.

With a major professional sports market and plenty of prep and college sports in the area, I'm really looking forward to returning to the Peach State.

More when I get settled...

Welcome to my blog. My intent with this site is to further showcase my skills as a photographer and a graphic design.

I also hope to use it as a tool to share ideas, concepts and projects with others in the industry.

My main focus, pardon the pun, is sports photography (professional, college and preps); news and features; scenics, and stock images.

Feel free to drop me a line from time to time.
