I spent the morning at the square in Marietta with my daughters. Not being without my camera much, I decided to snap a few photos while we were out. I was actually able to get them to pose for …Continue Reading Here…
I had every intention of having my normal Sunday church series today. However, I was out way too late last night shooting at Dixie Speedway in Woodstock, Georgia. I had a ball and took lots of photos. I hope that I got some good action shots. Those shall be put into the queue and I hope to crank some of them out soon.
This is another shot of the Big Wheel from the Shrine circus in Marietta, Georgia. I had tons of fun trying to get shots from the carnival portion without getting too much movement or too many people in them. I was pleasantly surprised by this shot. The lights on the side of the ferris wheel are constantly changing. I thought I would get a lot of movement in the light bulbs that I was worried the shots would not turn out. I thought they did pretty well.
When I was growing up, we had a big wheel. For anyone who does not know, a big wheel is a three wheeled low rider pedal powered machine. In front of the house where I grew up was a really big hill. There was very little …Continue Reading Here…
I went to the Shrine Circus at J.R. Miller park in Marietta a couple of weeks ago. What a fun time with the family. We rode the rides at the carnival area, went to the circus and then back to the carnival. We got to see …Continue Reading Here…

I have not made it through as many of the Civil War sites that I would have liked to. However, I was able to make it by Kennesaw Mountain once again a few weeks ago. I made the trek to the top of the mountain with my Super Trooper little one and …Continue Reading Here…
Anyone who knows me, knows that I like guns. Almost as much as cameras. Most people think that, in most things, that bigger is better. I guess that applied during the civil war also. Why take to the field of battle with a small muzzle loading rifle …Continue Reading Here…
I spent a lot of time on the square in Marietta, Georgia, growing up. It has changed a lot since then, but it is still the same. Have you ever felt that way about some place? I played on the train which is set up as a slide and for the kids to play on. It was pretty neat to watch my children playing there also. One of the things I did not remember was the Liberty Bell which is along the east side of the park. It made for some great night time shots. I was just glad the wind stopped for just a second that I could get the flag too.
About a year ago, I decided I was going to start a series of photos called the Silent Guns of the South. I have always been a fan of history and more specifically, military history. So, I thought this would be a lot of fun. I began …Continue Reading Here…
This photo was from my recent family trip to the square in Marietta. This shot is of the new county court house complex. I spent most of my younger days drifting around this square. It is amazing how much …Continue Reading Here…
