With Rick Anthony Bonner and Michael Matascik of InsiDesign getting the shots today.

Quick minds all on the same track; nothing beats skill and experience.

Except maybe being able to enjoy what you’re doing.

And we do that.

Going through 1000’s of film transparencies- sorting, saving, jettisoning.

Years and years of stock work and assignments and personal projects.

And it’s been great to go back; a retrospective viewing as it were.

So many images, so many memories…

This one is a keeper.

… and watch the light play across the water.

Have a groovy weekend ya’ll.

Before you could immediately see what you just shot- you couldn’t. 

We are talking about neg film in the pre-digital days- when the lab gave you a proof sheet and the images were finally revealed. 

You had to trust that you knew what you were doing and that you were doing it right.

Now… that’s not to say we miss the old days, it did however require a certain level of skill.

For our photographer friends to try: cover the monitor on your DSLR and go “shoot a roll” of say, 36 exposures. (You’ll need more than a cell phone to do this obviously).

When done, uncover the back and check your work- see what you really shot. 

Not quite what you expected?

Still-life with bamboo grass.

Sometimes the most beautiful things are the quiet wonders hiding in plain sight in the garden.

We are very proud to have GROW! be a part of this project by ECOMOVE in Germany. 

The main focus will be to emphasize the economic potential of green technologies with regard to occupational opportunities and the involvement of young people. 

“…and are exhausted and nasty and stinky at the end of the day.”

In the edit suite cutting a four part series on veteran farmers in Georgia.

In pre-production on a short video project for Dixon Rye.

In a tight schedule with photo shoots, film shoots, and dinner parties.

In a spin, loving the spin that I’m in, under that old black magic called love.

Person is unknown, place is St. Simons Island, circa mid to late 1930’s.

Looking out over the Atlantic Ocean.

Need we say more?

In a whirl with our out of town guests interior designer Anna Forkum from Nashville, TN., and chef Juliana Aguilar from Madrid, Spain.

So much to do- so little time.

Gotta’ go….

We spent the weekend down in Thomaston, Georgia.

Working.

OK- there is a wonderful Airbnb down there that we discovered while filming a project back in May. We stayed there overnight, fell in love with the place and the guys that ran it.

They needed some new photos of the inside, outside, and gardens.

So there we were: getting the shots, hanging with the boys, and Rocky, and having a ball!

Best 4th.

We are looking out over the parking lot of The Cullers Inn, 140 Elm St, Lincolnton, GA. 

We are at the intersection of Highway 378 and Highway 47.

We kid you not.

The incredible crew from Monday’s photo shoot for Atlanta Magazine’s HOME.

Thanks to Ally Kim for letting us into her beautiful home.

While we would love to share some shots you’ll have to wait for the Fall 2016 issue.

It will be worth the wait.

We are out on the SC coast for some well deserved R&R.

And of course we are getting the shots- what’d you expect?

In Nashville for a couple of days on multiple photo shoots.

Staying with designer/photo stylist Anna Forkum in her deliciously artistic Airbnb.

Outside Thomaston, Georgia on US Highway 19, it’s the Piggie Park Drive in.

It is to the South what sunshine is to the day.

Thanks to Steve for capturing this moment showing the lengths to which we will go to get the shot.

What?! Lying on the floor is not hard work? 

-and on the newsstands!

OK?

Our short documentary film WE FARM GEORGIA with Gabby Montoya is an Official Selection in the 2016 Film For (A Better) Future Festival.

It will screen this Saturday, May 7th at The Pinch ‘n’ Ouch Theatre in Atlanta.

Been a long week of farms, motels, miles, and more miles.

Met some beautiful people, ate some great food, and along the way gathered some incredible footage and interviews.

While traveling the backroads between locations we came across this farm.

Looks to be a great year for marshmallows.

At multiple locations filming this week and covering some serious miles.

So hang on- it’s going to get wild.

It’s all how you look at it.

Walk?- or take the moving sidewalk.
