Georgia On My Mind

This winter Obie and I are enjoying a warmer winter in Thomasville, Georgia. This is such a lovely small town. The outdoors are decorated by huge Living Oak trees with beautiful moss hanging from every limb and camellia flowers blooming year round. Everything is so green and lush. The people are so friendly and happy here, it's wonderful!

I've been making friends with some of the shop owners since I've been here because I started photographing storefronts in town. Some of the stores have such an 'old time' quality about them that's very quaint. I'm having postcards made up of my work and will be selling them in a lovely gift shop.

Here are some shots of the area for you to enjoy. If you happen to be in Thomasville anytime soon stop by and pick up one of my postcards at Joolz!

Elements at Play





When I shoot I'm always looking for different texture, pattern, lighting and color - and how they play with each other or oppose each other. I don't just shoot a scene. I always want some kind of play between with these elements. The more texture and pattern, the better for me. There are some very interesting barns in the area near Jubilee Farm that I shot. I liked the quality of the old wood and shape of the doors, hinges, rusting etc. that you can see on these barn sides.

April Showers Bring May Flowers





There are some very beautiful flowers blooming in the spring that I shot, either in arrangement style or growing in the gardens. I made some studies of them for a while, and had fun with Nature's beauty, softness, and detail of color and design.
