Day 30 : The Pine Belt

Taken: June 10, 2010
Camera: Sony a350
Woolmarket, MS

This location has fairly recently been part of a controlled burn to get rid of all the undergrowth. These are young pines about a foot or so in diameter. I saw this group of trees when driving home from Mom's school one day, but was unable to take a shot due to bad light and bad weather. Today, I was able to get a shot of it. I may go back later for a panorama shot.

Day 29 : Mrs. Charbonneau

Taken: August 23, 2009

Biloxi, MS

I took this on a very windy day at the park. We were celebrating Bella's birthday. She turned 3 years old! This is Bella's grandmother and the mother of one of my very best friends. I have always loved her hair. She has beautiful silver hair and has aged so well. It must be the Potawatomi blood. I was pretty far away from her, so I do not think she even realized that I took this shot of her.

Day 28 : Uncle Allen

Taken: June 9, 2010
Camera: Kodak M381
Hattiesburg, MS


This is my Uncle Allen. He is pushing 90 years. I am uncertain to his actual age. The last I knew for sure he was 87. He is my paternal grandfather's brother. The three of us went to a local Chinese buffet today. I got this shot of him while I was showing off my little point and shoot to my grandfather. Uncle Allen was opening his fortune cookie.

His said: There will be a refreshing change in your future.
We took that to mean that he would be going swimming when he got home. :)

Mine said: Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back.

Grandpa didn't share his. He just ate all the cookies. :)

Day 27 : Ornamented

Taken: October 4, 2008

Bogalusa, LA

Purple. Ornament. Shiny. Antique. Seriously? This shot is just awesome. :) Another gem found at the celebration at the church in Bogalusa. Taking pictures of cars kept me from conversing with cousins that I have never met before and will most likely never see again. Cars! YAY! I am so ready for Cruisin' the Coast to come back. October...you cannot get here fast enough.

Day 26 : Under the Bridge

Taken: April 8, 2008
Camera: Fujifilm Finepix s5800
Biloxi, MS

What can I say? The title says it all. This is under the Popp's Ferry Bridge. This shot caught my eye because of the colors and the impact of the reflection. Since this shot, that particular portion of the bridge was knocked out by a barge and rebuilt.

Day 25 : The Sandy Cake

Taken: August 1, 2009
Camera: Fujifilm Finepix s5800
Hattiesburg, MS

This is a shot from the very first wedding where I was the primary photographer. It was a beach themed wedding, away from the beach, ironically enough... The girls all went down the aisle with bare feet. The cake was made to look like it was covered in sand and shells. It was a very beautiful cake.

Day 24 : Untitled

Taken: May 6, 2010
Camera: Sony a350
Biloxi, MS

Just another pier destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. I loved this shot because of the angle, the contrasts, and textures.
