Christmas is the time for photo shoots, especially children in front of the Christmas tree. So, I asked a few people if they would be interested in having some Christmas photos of their family at West Town Community Church. So, on a very rainy day, a few families came over and sat for a number of photos. It was challenging corralling all the kids and getting the ideal shot where everyone looks good. Finally, I believe I had some success. Here are the results of my efforts–I’m pleased.
Thanksgiving at Grace House
I had a wonderful Thanksgiving 2018 at Grace House. The food was amazing, especially the Turkey, but most of all the company was superb. I took a few photos outside on the steps. All in all, although I didn’t spend the holiday with my biological family, it felt like family–and that’s what it is all about.
Woodrow Wilson House
I went to an Augusta Photo Festival class in October at the historic Woodrow Wilson House in Downtown Augusta, GA. It is basically the boyhood home of Woodrow Wilson. We had several people posing in period costumes for this shoot. We went from room to room taking photos of not only the people, but many of the fragile artifacts which we were not allowed to touch or move. Here are some of the photos that I took that day.
Arts in the Hearts Festival
Augusta, Georgia hosts a wonderful cultural festival each year featuring different foods from every culture and ethnic group you can think of. It is a celebration of diversity and people come together to sample different cuisines they would normally not eat. There are tents set up to eat and there is music as well. Here are a few shots of the day on October 16th, 2018. It threatened to rain the whole time but held off until towards the end. All in all it was a very enjoyable day.
Zoo 2018
My friend Joyce and I decided to go to the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia, S.C. to see the baby lions born at the zoo recently. Although they were not so little already, they were still super cute. There are three lions and all are female. They were all huddled together but I managed to get some nice shots of the adorable babies. I also got some shots of fish, a tortoise, a gorilla, an iguana, and other assorted animals. My favorite photos were of course of the sweet baby lions. They would not be so sweet if I got into the lion den, but they made for great shots.
Harley Davidson Luau
I was invited to attend the Harley Davidson Luau, Friday, August 3rd 2018. It was a fun time and I got a chance to take photos of the festivities, including Hawaiian dancers, the patrons, and of course the real stars–the motorcycles. They roasted a whole hog in the ground and with the music, a wonderful time was had by all. There was a raffle as well for a golf cart, which I didn’t win, but I enjoyed it nevertheless–especially taking the photos.
Downtown Augusta 2018
I decided to venture downtown to Broad Street–a spot I usually don’t go to. I had been to The New Moon Cafe a few days before without my camera, but the ambiance and color of that street intrigued me. It is a very different atmosphere–almost like Greenwich Village in NYC–than uptown where everything is pretty much homogenous.
Jersey Shore 2018
I went to New Jersey for a very complex surgery in May 2018. I decided to take my camera just in case I had a chance to take some photos. The surgery was scheduled for May 16th, so on May 15th, on a very unseasonably warm day, we decided to head down to the Jersey Shore. The doctor’s office was near the Shore and the hospital itself was the Jersey Shore Medical Center. Here are the photos I took on that beautiful warm day before surgery.
VBS 2018
I took the photos for the VBS 2018. It was a lot of work but fun. I tried to capture the spirit of the event by getting as many group shots of all the participants
as I could.
Wedding Doug and Deniss
I photographed a wedding with two other photographers. Two did primarily videos and I did all the still shots. I took about 680 photos but ended up using about 115. They were a lovely couple that met on Match.com. They were about to give up but decided to try one more time. The bride’s family came from Mexico for the wedding, but the food was good old fashioned, down home BBQ. The ceremony was outdoors and we were not sure if the weather would hold or not, but it did. All week it called for rain but the wedding day arrived and there was no rain. Here are just a few highlights.
