Yesterday, Tuesday was kind of surreal. Work was awful. We had inexplicable computer / server issues that pretty much paralyzed everyone. Couple of other things happened during the day that I could have done without, and then someone came through a stop sign at an intersection after work and re-designed the front of my car. The good thing about that is that no one was hurt and it’s just more paperwork for the insurance companies. I did enjoy dinner at Charleston Place later with Mitzi who is always entertaining. The food was great too. Thanks Mitzi.

Actually it wasn’t too bad as Mondays go. Work is fine – nice pace of busy which helps the day click along just fine. Evenings have been spent working through folders and folders of images that need to be processed. Chelsea’s bridal portraits will have to wait until after the wedding before posting to the web, but this was one from a wedding I shot over the weekend.

Metaphorically speaking, of course. I have been busy with work and photography assignments for most of my waking hours it seems for the past couple of weeks, so I have not had the time or inclination to keep up with my exercise routine. No more excuses though, so one of my non-negotiables today was to hit the pool. It just seems to require more and more effort to keep that metabolism humming along as the years go by. I took Logan to the park earlier too, but it was so hot that even he couldn’t muster much more than an apathetic stroll and a brief wallow in the shallows of the lake.

Got a lot done earlier on, then finished up the day with friends celebrating Pams last 40-something birthday. We’re still trying to figure out why she got so many cards with hot young guys on the front… Anyway we had a lot of fun. Thanks Kristin for hosting.

Nothing much to say for myself today, but here’s a pic taken yesterday of the historic Angel Oak tree, over 65 feet high and approximately 1500 years old. Pretty awesome.

Today was great – a bonus day for some rest & relaxation. Thank you to all the American heroes who have made it possible for us to rest and relax in peace and freedom. This is a picture of the Ashley River bridge taken from the Ashley River earlier this evening.

Saturday was a little hectic with two weddings on my schedule. One was a “working wedding” at 2.30pm and then I just had enough time for a quick shower and change before Melissa and Dylan’s wedding at 6.30pm. Here’s a shot from the earlier wedding.

I know I was going to try and take a photo-per-day (the whole purpose of this blog) but lately things have conspired to dampen my enthusiasm for the project. Let me whine just a little – my favorite camera is broken and who knows how long it will be before Nikon gets it fixed and returned – and hopefully it will be fixed when they send it back. Then the weather has been most uncooperative. Just when the pool was getting warm and the airconditioners were really getting cranked up, some weird cold front swept across the southeast and seemed to stall over Charleston for a week, with high winds and temperatures that sent us all scampering back to our jacket closets. This was what our favorite walking park looked like the other day. Normally this is a nice wide sandy beach.

My camera malfunctioned at an event last week, so I’ve been using my older, backup Nikon but it doesn’t do as good a job, which is frustrating to say the least. I have a wedding to shoot this weekend so I have made plans to borrow another camera for that day, since it is just too scary to take on such an important event with only one camera, a wing and a prayer. So Nikon – please turn that piece of electronic equipment around in record time and get it back to me stat. This is another image from my time on Edisto Island over the weekend. It was taken inside the Farmer’s Market on Hwy 174.
