Landscapes: A South Georgia Thanksgiving
This past weekend, we celebrated Thanksgiving. To our surprise, the full meaning of the holiday came to us as we were concluding our trip from a family visit when we became inspired to photograph a field of cotton on our way home.
Besides the time to gather with the family and to reminisce on our blessings, [...]
No Photoshop Required
It may be tough to believe, but the following images have not been photoshopped. These are the colors that the camera captures during night photography. It’s not as easily seen by the human eye, but artificial lights come in a variety of different color temperatures and tones. Some are green, some are orange, some are [...]
Halloween 2009
We probably should have been quicker with these posted images, but our schedule has been CRAZY recently. Anywho, here are some quick shots from our Halloween - celebrated at Casa de la Bateham. Our cousins James and Kelly were good enough to bring over our lovely “little” cousins Elisabeth and JJ (James Jr.).
While Elisabeth and [...]
It Never Gets Old…..
You know, it’s been over 4 years now that we’ve been in Savannah. For those of you that don’t know us (and those that do but are in for a refresher), we moved here from Milledgeville, GA in 2005. Veta was the pioneer while I stayed behind for about 3 months to “close up shop” [...]
Alana’s First Birthday Party
This weekend we celebrated a special young lady’s very first birthday. We’ve all been waiting for this day for longer than we care to remember. However, all of the waiting was over on Saturday and the day for party-ing was here. Alana, our niece, did not disappoint. Turns out, she’s a real cake devouring, icing [...]
Our Family Reunion - 2009
It’s with great pleasure that I’m writing this afternoon. We just came home from Southwest Georgia, where we attended our first “annual” Silvers Family Reunion. We’ve had family reunions before, but never one that was scheduled to be the first of annual reunions. I suppose it’s the idea that we will continue this tradition that [...]
Fisheye Morning
Courtesy of our friend, Jake, here is an excerpt from an essay by G.K. Chesterton:
“…..A city is, properly speaking, more poetic even than a countryside, for while Nature is a chaos of unconscious forces, a city is a chaos of conscious ones. The crest of the flower or the pattern of the lichen may or [...]
Snapshot Expedition in Savannah
With a friend (Hi, Jake) in Savannah on Friday, it seemed like a perfect day to go out for some snapshots. Jake shot with our new Canon and I shot with our trusty Nikon. With just one lens mounted, I captured some images that I quite liked at the time. After reviewing them on the [...]
You Old Fish-Eyed Fool….
It so happens that one of Veta’s (and my) favorite television shows is Sanford and Son. The above title of this post is one of Aunt Ester’s many crude insults that usually were directed at Fred. I really couldn’t think of a better name for this post :)
As many of you know, I’m a Nikon [...]
Jason & Veta’s Sunday at the Beach
I love the beach. When the weather is like it was today, I can’t resist. It is the sound of the wave against the sand, the salt in the air, the wind, the sun - I guess, all four elements of nature gathered at once.
Jason and I left the church service, grabbed some lunch, and [...]
