Packway Portraits...

For the sake of inventory, I wanted to get these portraits of the boys up here before they became left behind. It was Tom's idea to shoot around this enormous power plant. While we were driving around, scoping out the area, we found the deep red mud. :) These are fun ...

animated gifs... ;)

OK... so, hopefully, this is kind of adorable. I have been editing the new promo portraits I did for the Packway Handle Band and Tom mentioned an animated gif for their myspace page icon. :) Never before had I made an animated gif, but it was pretty simple and once it was created I decided it is the most hilarious thing. Here is the .gif for the boys...



But then, I decided that it was funny enough that I needed some for myself. :) And... a few weeks ago, we did some portraits near the house of us. AND Vicki and I took these really funny pictures of us goofing around with the cameras. AND... well... :) Here is mine, taken by my favorite second shooter, my sister Vicki...

And, then, Vicki's. Speaking of Vicki... she deserves a big job well done for officially being accepted into UGA's Law School! We are all very proud of her. :) Congratulations, Vicki!

SO... here is the exciting final layout (and some of the progress stages) for the Packway Handle Band's new self titled album. I know we all worked super hard on it and I am really thrilled with the album art. It is seriously very fun to have made these booklet materials. The guys play around a single mic setup... we decided to use the mics as the subject and came back with some really interesting images. :)

The album is not quite released yet, but the CDs have all been delivered and are anxiously awaiting their release later this month in Athens.

First, here is the front of the new album booklet:

and the back of the case:
... and the inside of the booklet.
These microphone portraits were so much fun to make and I wanted to post several more of my favorite images from that shoot. :)

on the road with the band...

Last month, I left for Montana to travel alongside Athens GA's Packway Handle Band... and I collected a good deal of images of the band. Obviously. They are fun boys and made for great subjects... ;)










I actually took lots of them... Soon, I will post a link here that goes to the entire collection, on their webpage. That's it for now.
