I’ve been wanting one for a long time, and I finally got my Drobo. It was really time. I just couldn’t fathom buying another RAID case for a couple of hard drives that I would outgrow in a month or two. The Drobo was $429 at OWC, and they offered a $50 mail-in rebate. So, [...]

Let’s Dance
Yesterday, I had the privilege, once again, of photographing Laura and Daniel. This time, instead of their wedding, they were dancing. A few weeks ago, I offered to take some portraits on Facebook. Laura has been working on a web site that features their dancing, and they needed some photos. I was glad to help, [...]
Spring Has Sprung!
It’s back! Yes, Spring, but also the annual Cherry Blossom Festival here in Macon, Georgia. Today marks the official opening of the week-long event.

I purchased my 15″ MBP in November of 2007, so it was about two months out-of-warranty when the monitor would inadvertently not come on during boot or flicker off during use. Finally, after I lived for a month with the display’s new capriciousness, it went [...]
Arts Festival Photos
It was my privilege to photograph this year’s Macon State College Arts Festival “Borderlines: Reading, Writing, Performing within American Spaces.” All of the speakers were excellent; I particularly enjoyed the stories of Tayari Jones and Carman Agra Deedy, though poets Lillian Allen and Lorna Goodison were also entertaining and poignant. My thanks to festival organizers [...]
