Another, possibly gratuitous (oh, why not) macro series for Valentine’s Day which, however over-the-top and commercial it might be, is certainly a colorful holiday. I’m a fan of red anyway! So, here goes. The pastries here, including a chocolate cupcake and an ice tea cookie, came from Campbell’s Bakery of Jackson MS’s Fondren area.
So, last year I did a macro series of Valentine’s Day cupcakes, in dim lighting, placed atop satin sheets. I didn’t want to post a replica of that series this time out, but I did want to do another macro series. I was ready to do another, experimental macro series anyway, given how well the …
As people who have paid attention to me for a while should know, I’ve been into multiple exposure photography in the past year, as well as fashion or style photos. I took a few multiple exposure shots last year at NOLA Fashion Week. I had failed, however, to take multiple-exposure shots with an individual model, …

The fall of 2011 was unusually colorful in central Mississippi this year, thanks to dry weather. The proof is in the photos below.
In October 2011, I went with a friend to Helena AR for the King Biscuit Blues Festival, one of the largest blues festivals in America and, I believe, the largest one with any free shows. We stayed in neighboring Clarksdale MS, and went to Clarksdale via a road that passed through the old Stovall Plantation …
Some of my favorite shots from the past year were ones I took at the Neshoba County Fair, near Philadelphia MS. I will put more into this post later about the background of this event, but suffice it to say that: a) It’s described as “Mississippi’s Giant House Party,” and is known for its colorful …
These were taken on the first and last roll of Kodak HIE infrared black and white, 35mm film that I ever owned. The film is no longer made. It wasn’t quite suited for my camera, a Canon Rebel, and I did not handle it right, nor did I use a red filter as suggested, etc. …
