The Big Hair Cut

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

Well, I finally did it. I got the big hair cut today. I’ve had a pony tail for the past 18 years but no more!

Thoughts of getting a short cut have crossed my mind a few times over the past few years but they usually didn’t stick with me for long. But this time I started thinking about it a few months ago (no rash decisions). Honestly I decided to follow through with the cut in June or July. I just never picked up the phone for an appointment. I had a day off today and thought “today’s the day”.

I called Tundra Taylor at Tundra’s Hair Studio and she worked me in. Here’s a picture of me, Tundra and the pony tail that will be donated to Locks of Love, www.locksoflove.org . This is the 4th or 5th donation I’ve made over the years.

It’s a big change but I like it. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

By the way, Tundra and her husband Dan have been clients of mine since their son Wes was born. Their entire family is sooooo nice! You can see a Beach Portrait I did for them last year on the wall behind us in the picture.

Fair Pictures in Calhoun GA

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

Last week I photographed the pageants at the NWGA Regional Fair. This was the thirteenth year I’ve done this. It was one of the first jobs I got when I started doing photography on a professional basis. It’s always nice to see a whole slew of dolks I haven’t seen in a while.

A couple of nights Michelle Brown was the emcee. The first year I photographed the pageants Michelle was in the 7th grade. Her mom, Melissa, and I were talking about that befor the pageants got going. I remember out of about 200 contestants that year hers was one of twop or three contestants who’s pictures I screwed up. As a “make-up” I did a studio session for them and got to know them. Since then, our paths have crossed several times. I’ve photographed Michelle several times, she worked for me one summer while in High School and I generally see them at the Fair.

Here’s a picture with of me and Michelle, one of my first subjects, 13 years later. Boy do I feel old… looking  it too.
