It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything. I’ve been totally consumed by a huge project. My brother quit his job to start a magazine and recruited me to do all the photography and graphic design. I have a love-hate relationship with graphic design, although it’s what I studied in college. I had a few notions to combine graphic design with photography, but as I grew to hate design, I never thought it would happen. Well, my roots keep finding me and here I am fulfilling a vapor-like dream I had years ago.
The magazine is called “Small Business Chronicles.” It showcases small businesses within a given area. Our forerunner is “Small Business Chronicles – Tuscaloosa.” The momma issue will be of Gadsden.
I was out today (in the rain) getting photos of local businesses and their products. Here is one I’d like to share. It was taken at “Gracefully Done” in Northport.

Dan and Mandy said their vows last December just before Dan left for Iraq. He’s been back for a few months. Yesterday they celebrated their marriage with a ceremony complete with a wedding dress, bridesmaids, cake and all. I was priviledged to assist Sarah with the photography. The day went as perfect as anyone could ask for. The sky was blue. The sun wasn’t too overwhelming. Not hot and not cold. No wind. I hope to share the great images I captured very soon. But for now here’s a very special one that is dedicated to all of our troops, past, present, future, overseas, back at home, in the reserves, etc.

I’ve been editing photos, working on promotional ads, taking care of babies, washing clothes, cooking supper, etc. etc. etc. Today on my way home from the bank I took the long way home around Northwood Lake. Just me and my telephoto lens.
Totallly Rad Actions had a contest for coming up with the best recipe from their actions. I didn’t win, but one of my entries is shown on their recipe site just came out. Click here, then go to page 2 (see circled image below). Click on the thumbnail and you can see the before and after versions. The photo was taken on our hike down the Grand Canyon last year.
