photo essay 021813 . Serendipity in Light

When we visited my parents in Macon, Mississippi for the Christmas holidays, the kids and I took an evening to wander around Downtown to look at the Christmas lights — a fun holiday tradition from my own childhood. Of course, I had my camera in hand, and in addition to crazy kid shots, I also got a few photo surprises. I discovered that trying to get a handle on a couple of silly boys, freezing temps, a stiff breeze, and standing on the edge of a curb all at the same time produces some interesting photography effects [*grin*]. Something about throwing focus to the wind creates a kind of wonderful. I keep coming back to a few of the shots where light takes center stage. I hope you enjoy the serendipity on this Monday morning!

photo essay 013013 . Snow Days

13snow1

We had some rare snow here in North Mississippi a week or so ago and in addition to some fun with three munchkins and a somewhat posture-challenged snowman, I also had a date with my Canon and the trees in my front yard. The landscape was almost colorless blanketed in white, so I decided to try the shots in black and white. Hope you enjoy them.

A Chalkboard Painting Project

20130114-090357.jpg

One of my monthly clients, Eat Cities, LLC, launched a new brand and online magazine at the beginning of January called Eat Y’all. A year in the making, the project aims to showcase food in the South as only Southerners can through great editorial content, the creation of food trails, and the production of exclusive Chef’s Table events giving diners the opportunity to interact with regional chefs. Yum! I’ve had the opportunity to work with Eat Y’all on their branding and marketing, which will soon include a new website. As part of their ongoing Chef’s Table series, they asked me to paint the logo on chalkboards to be used at the events. It was a fitting project for a Friday last week, and I thought I would share the process. Enjoy a peek! And, watch for details about Chef’s Table events in your region of the South. It’s an intimate Southern food experience you won’t want to miss!
