I enjoy every email or call I get about the Sumpter Free Health Clinic. In one of the last emails Judy Burke told me about a fish fry and car wash fundraiser the clinic was having on a weekend. I love a fish fry, and knowing the proceeds go to a good cause made it all the better. The event was being held at the clinic which meant I would finally get a chance to go inside. I spent some time eating good food and having great conversation with others who came out to the event. After I ate and had my car washed, Judy gave me a tour of the clinic. The building (Sumpter Chapel) was donated by … [Read more...]

Savannah In Spring
April 7, 2011 by
I decided to take a little vacation to Savannah at the end of March. This time I went for the Savannah Music Festival. It was well worth the trip. I went to a concert every evening and spent the morning relaxing or exploring the city. Savannah is a photographer's dream, and it's great to walk around during spring and fall. It definitely helped me relax. This post contains my most recent set of pictures from that lovely southern city. I hope you enjoy.

A few more nice Saturday pictures
April 3, 2011 by
This year I've been trying to take a few pictures each week. I took these pictures in March, but this was my first chance to upload them to a gallery. I was having a relaxing weekend by eating some nice Cajun food and getting some exercise. I hope you enjoy.

Riverfront Park
March 16, 2011 by
It's been a beautiful March in South Carolina. It was cool last weekend, but it was worth it to get up early and go to the park. My one semi-resolution for the year is to use my camera more. Riverfront Park gave me an excellent opportunity.

Just Relaxing
February 26, 2011 by
South Carolina has been getting some nice weather in February. I decided to enjoy it with my camera. I took a few shots around my neighborhood and headed to downtown Charleston later in the day. I enjoyed myself and came away with some great pictures.

Habitat
February 14, 2011 by
This last Saturday I spent the morning at a Habitat site. It was still pretty cold out when we got there at 8am, but it was a wonderful morning. Several dozen volunteers worked to get trusses on the house, build a shed, and to hammer in a few hundred more nails spaced 6 inches apart.

Visiting Columbia
February 2, 2011 by
I was in Columbia the other weekend, and I decided to relax by taking a walk through the Horseshoe with my camera. It was a wonderful day. The weather was in the mid 60s. I wandered around playing with various lenses. If you look through the entire gallery, you'll even find a few I took with extension tubes of berries and leaves. It's pretty interesting to look at the world in that type of detail. I attempted a panorama while I was out there. If it turns out well, I'll post it here too. [smugmug … [Read more...]
More Small Stuff

I didn't have much opportunity to post in January. Let's hope I have more time in February. For now at least, I'll upload another gallery dealing with macro photography.
