What a beautiful weekend! After a year of saying that I would venture out on the river I made good on that promise. @amy.grau chaperoned in case my inflatable kayak didn’t work as intended, and luckily all went well on a calm river. I also got some good close-up pics of the old Rogers Bridge set to be replaced in the near future.

“Come on in, the water’s fine!”
I lied, it’s cold AF. But the river is clear enough to see the bottom in the shallow areas!

“Garden Lights”
Patio weather returned for the holiday weekend, and the mint on the back deck garden has grown up well over the string of lights.

“No stopping in the skybridge”
An impossible and discouraged shot when tons of people are moving. Not so difficult when there’s nobody around... 😢

“Devoid” 🙅‍♂️
So many familiar spaces, even further emptied by limitations on where hotel guests may roam. And for many, just no need due to closed bars and restaurants within the hotels.

Ghost town. Absolutely deserted.
This was never something I expected to see on a Labor Day weekend in Atlanta 😥

The flood of memories from a year ago are a stark contrast to what lies ahead this Labor Day weekend in 2020. For those of us in the Atlanta area who know these places year-round, it will be a very empty and unusual week ahead. Please check in on your Dragon*Con friends, we are not okay 😥

Today we see the sad news of Chadwick Boseman’s passing. An accomplished actor in many respects, though perhaps most keenly on our minds as being THE Black Panther brought to life on the big screen, and inspiring so many with a relatable character. Reflecting back on various events were I saw people excited to see or be his version of the character.

An attempt to capture the ominous clouds of an approaching storm, the bright light from an overcast sky, while in a dark barn. The HDR on the iPhone 11 is impressive albeit sometimes overzealous.

“See, what you do is get in here real good and just roll!” Everything was fine at the dog park until the fountain turned off—then Toby found another source of cool water. He got a good hose-down at home and has been sleeping off the ordeal ever since.

A big, bright, beautiful butterfly as seen on a morning dog walk...about 4 days ago. I’ve gotten so lax in my social media these days 😥

It’s not the return to normalcy we want, but it’s what we’ve got. Gwinnett started back virtually so we showed off our laptop instead of a backpack. (Oh and yes, she’s wearing shorts—we made her get dressed.) At least there’s not a sweaty bus ride home in today’s heat 🥵

Oh how I’ve missed 3D projects in the shop. This samurai styled (menpō) mask has popped up on Reddit recently and I really wanted to create a copy. As always the fun is in the paint job and I’m really happy with the deep red and flame swirls under a glossy top coat.

“Shocking abuse of power”
What started as an innocent #dadjoke has me thinking more about the context of the image it may represent. To those who have suffered abuse this may be triggering (and I apologize for that). For some it may be an allegory for recent societal events. For others it might conjure political thoughts. So yeah, the more I think about it I’m not sure how to directly interpret this image. Maybe that’s just the point of art...if this qualifies as such.

C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE)
Miraculously we had a non-overcast night recently and even with light pollution I was able to pick out the comet with a moderate ISO and 1-2 seconds exposure. Once dialed into the position I managed to get up to a 500mm view, shown first and followed by 200mm and 70mm. I regret not driving out somewhere for a better foreground, but I’m also happy this was the second time I’ve picked up my dSLR in the past 5 months, or any camera in the past month.

It’s Christmas in July! 🎄
From what feels like an eternity ago, one of my shots of the fabulous Fox Theatre has made the top 5 images which might be featured at their next Holiday Extravaganza event! Please visit @thefoxtheatre to see their latest CONTEST post. You’ll find mine as #2 in the lineup, though I recognize I’m in very good company. ✌️

Challenged to make a creative picture for work while wearing a Hawaiian-style shirt and I went full meme. Can’t say it’s not accurate 😩
