Gallery: Autumn
Notes: Not that it ever matters, but Nikon, Sigma and Canon with various lenses for these images. See you out there…

Notes: This year the Fall season snuck up on me again. This past weekend was probably peak time for us, but the rain this week (and most of this past year…) knocked off most of the colorful leaves. Still scenic and calming though as I made the drive to the usual spots. Minnehaha Falls was picturesque but I doubt any “model” is […]
Continue readingPhotos: Oakland Cemetery in IR
Notes: Thanks to the Atlanta Model/Photo Meetup group, and of course Oakland Cemetery for allowing us to disturb this hallowed ground. Apologies to the phantoms and spirits roaming around with all the clicking and stomping. Infrared photos of Atlanta’s most famous cemetery, with a Sigma SD14 and 10-20mm. For every 5 shots that other cameras get […]

Notes: Very cool to have our Laotian people (both Lao and Hmong) on center stage with a packed house, and you could feel the energy in the room when the trailer for The Betrayal was shown…yeah, slowly but surely our people’s shared story is being known worldwide. More pix coming soon.

Lao Heritage Foundation 5th Year Fundraiser | September 19, 2009 | Alexandria, VA Notes: The LHF preserves and promotes Lao culture through visual arts, dance, and music. In addition to connecting with people I’d only “passed by” online, it was nice just being around a good selection of creative Lao folk. Master Khaen player Bounseung Synanonh was there, along with Thavisouk […]

Hong Kong Association Dragon Boat Atlanta Festival September 12, 2009 | Lake Lanier, Gainesville, GA Notes: We didn’t do so bad. Rowed in all three races and still had time to take photos. Saturday turned out to be blazing hot, but the Vietnamese Nón lá (conical hat) beats any tattered baseball cap. Thanks to the […]

Notes: Oak Alley Plantation near Baton Rouge, Baby ‘Bel and her baby Holga. 😀 Lovely place, but full of gnats and mosquitoes. Man, it was sweltering that day…
Continue readingNew Orleans: 4 Years after Katrina
Notes: Sunrise over the Lower Ninth Ward. Been down to New Orleans many times, and this trip just happened to coincide with the 4th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. In that same time period, with the now quickened pace of life, people can graduate, change their last name and have kids. Sadly, for this area of […]

Notes: It will probably be a long time before New Orleans gets back to its heyday of tourists shoulder to shoulder on Bourbon Street, but I enjoy going down there because it’s different from my norm. “…Changes in latitude, changes in attitude…” The city still holds that unique charm: antique mansions versus urban decay–creepy unsettling violence amidst […]

Halle Speaker Series, Luncheon Presentation | July 24, 2009 His Excellency Sichan Siv, Former United States Ambassador to the United Nations “The Challenges of US Global Leadership” Random Notes: …Just wanted to post these photos because the quality of light in the room was very nice, not the usual incandescent dungeon that most people hold […]
Continue readingPhotos: Raven Cliffs Falls
Misc Notes: Raven Cliffs Falls, North of Helen, GA. 2.5 Mile hike from parking lot, following the stream and multiple stopping points for small waterfalls. Trail is moderate to easy, however the “path” to the top of the falls is precarious and steep. The waterfall has two pools, with some really cool water. The bottom […]

Been cleaning up, i.e. throwing away junk, and I came to all my old videogames. For old times sake I hooked up an NES to the projector and played a couple of games. Of course it acted up in the beginning and took the breath on the cartridge trick to get it going. 🙂 […]

With the recent demise of filmstock such as Polaroid instant film and now Kodak Kodachrome, I’ve been thinking about shooting more film. When I think back to random events in my life, I’m always glad that I carried a film camera around with Kodak black and white film, even when it wasn’t practical, […]
