Senior Portraits

I had the opportunity to do a senior portrait session with a beautiful young lady named Beverly.  She has a wonderful personality and sense of humor and was a joy to work with.  We did the shoot at the Promiseland a location normally reserved for weddings.  Great place to do a shoot.  We had the place to ourselves and had all the time we needed.

Halloween

Halloween is fast approaching and there were some scary and not so scary characters at the local pumpkin patch who's images I managed to capture.





House Burn

On October 14th we burned a house for the Citizens Academy.  It's not only an opportunity for ordinary citizens to see a house fire and firefighters at work but it's valuable training for the firefighters.

Bayou La Batre

I made a very recent trip down to Bayou La Batre to shoot some of the Shrimp Boats.  While there I met some very nice people who welcomed myself and my two fellow photographers.  It was interesting listening to their stories about the challenges of shrimping and the regulations that really hurt their livelihoods.  It was a common theme among the boat owners.









Motels

There are still quite a few old motels along Highway 90/Government Blvd, including an old Colonel Dixie that is still in operation.

Some of the motels are empty and others have definitely seen better days.
