HANDS

I seem to be attracted to hands when i am photographing people. Sometimes a persons hands can tell you so much. I have found that hands can project a great amount of emotion.

Today's pictures

Sometimes while i am working i like to take a break from whatever i am doing and search through my image library for old images i may have over looked or never finished working on. i try to edit or work on one or two of these a day when i can. just for the sake of doing something i like, or feel like working on. I figure there is a place for every image.... somewhere....



These were shot a while back while I was assisting at a wedding in Atlanta for my friend, and fellow photographer Justin Evans. http://justinevansphotography.com/
There are so many situations like these where I never really get a chance to really absorb the images at the time they were shot. I usually end up finding them, and enjoying them much later.

i thought i would share a few images i snatched while jenn was washing scout. we have been using this kick-ass soap called shampoochie. they are a company out of north georgia. it makes scout smell like a hippie, but a very clean fresh-smelling one. scout loves it... anyway, here is my "ode to shampoochie". just hanging out while jenn bathes my bitch.....

a tough month or so.

It has been about a month since the loss of our great friend Joe May. I continue to have feelings of why, confusion, anger,and loss. I am sure we all do. I do not think this is a situation where you wait for life to become normal again. Life will never be normal without Joe. I guess it will hurt less at some point, but there is no replacing the hole created in my heart and soul by Joe's death. I think of him every day, and even had an amazing, prophetic dream about him. I continue to take pictures and attempt to go on with my daily activities, but Joe is always with me and on my mind. I still do not have all of the words to express how I feel at this point. I am not sure I understand or can explain many things these days, but when the words or images come to me I will express them. I love you and miss you very much Joe, "king Changy"
