gardens: atlanta botanical garden

We traveled quite a bit this fall – for good reasons, like Trav’s father’s 75th birthday and a trip to see friends in Ohio, and for sad ones, a funeral – and I have fallen behind in blogging my adventures.

photography: thinking about light and shadow

This is the same photo, with two different focal points. They feel totally different, and yet they’re the same plants (something evergreen, and a caladium), same framing, two distinct images.

Had the pleasure of spending some time on Sunday with my coworker Angel, his fabulous wife Bev, and their four month old son Gavin. It’s a step toward a venture I’m hoping to launch in early February, if you want to take a guess.
