So, yeah, I'm way behind. I'm just gonna post a bunch of stuff to catch up.

I think this speaks for itself.

i got my numbers off track somewhere. oh well. no one else noticed so i won't care.

above is caleb. test roll for a new camera.

i should go to bed.

Random polaroid of kevin for whiskerino.

Paul's whiskerino album cover.

Little poptpop action for rob. I'll post this as a proper poptpop soon.

One more nugget from the Iron Bowl.

and as a bonus here's my shot taken by david (light by kevin) for my whiskerino album day.

And David's submission was our recreation of the Beastie Boys' Ill Communication. Please note he hand lettered the parody of the record title and kevin is back there holding up the sign thing.

Here's the original

So the other day on Whiskerino it was "Album cover day" so we got together and made some magic.

Above is Kevin's submission which is a recreation of an old Simon and Garfunkel album cover. I think we did a pretty good job.

Below is the original

Random shot from a few Sundays ago. I was testing out the leica and brought it with me to this newish place here in town called ZaZa. My friendquaintance Braxton works there and was serving up a salad. Just digging and saw it again for the first time and kinda liked it, even though its perhaps imperfect.

This shot of Tyree is a lot more realistic for his personality.
I can't believe its Day 343 on year two.

And here's another shot from the Iron Bowl. I'm posting this for you, Josh.

This dude's name is Henry and he's an Auburn fan, if I'm not mistaken.

From a recent Birmingham Magazine story on a new restaurant in Homewood called DoDiYos. These are the three lead chefs; all of whom seem to have a pretty decent reputation. I need to go back there to eat.

Here's another shot from the same project. For more info, check out See The Good.

Ok let's catch up.

I've started shooting some portraits for a new Region's Bank internal blog that focuses on the positive impacts that their bank has by way of their entire corporation, employees, and customers.

The website is called See The Good and I shot two things specifically for it and they ALSO picked up a story on DIG and used my photos for a multimedia presentation. It's a damn good thing Sarah and I are both customers. Ha. Really, I'm just glad DIG is getting a tiny bit more press.

The above shot is one of my favorites from a story about a guy in Hiram, GA who helped out his community during a bad flood. Poke around the See The Good site to see the story. The story is a bit sombre so it was a nice challenge to create a portrait in which I could not rely on laughter to carry the shot. I guess I do that a lot? It did help develop a rapport with Anthony which lead to several successful portraits. That's always nice.

Weird. Flickr was just in Chinese for me, until I clicked the English link. On both computers. Whatever...it's back now.

I'm still sorting through everything from the weekend i spent with these dudes. I have my first wedding since that weekend in a couple of days and I'm quite interested to see how it goes with my new brain installed.

I may not get to post while out of town. DC bound tomorrow and shit it's gonna be cold.

annd........done

Installment two of the Iron Bowl project. Humanity & Sport again. This is Dave and he was selling programs. He is from South Carolina and was selling programs to help either his niece or cousin...don't remember which. I like him maybe the most of the people I shot, on a personal level. He seemed earnest.

Another recent shot for Birmingham Magazine.

So finally the December issue of Birmingham Magazine is out so I can post a couple of things.

Today is the CEO dude of a local toy company that makes pretty educational toys; Summit Toys.
