  • My two best friends from high school. Ann and Betsy. Ann was my bad friend and Betsy my good friend. And I was their ‘different’ friend……and still am…..which can be seen by the two gourds that they are holding. I gave them gourds for my 30th birthday celebration night. Ann got the big gourd, because…

  • Except to me she will always be Ann Carter. She was my best friend in high school; we were inseparable. I thought we were exactly the same person. We planned to go to college together. We planned to get a jeep and share it. But then I went to Georgia and she went to Charleston.…

  • This is my father. He loves the lake and motor powered objects. This is my dad with one of his boats. He really likes to teach people to water ski. He taught me when I was four and so 26 years later one thing I can say with confidence… I am good at water-skiing. And…

The photo actually includes Darren’s feet but the place where I have the negs scanned goofed on a few of…

  • Being back in the South, where I grew up, means visiting friends from my childhood… and their children. So I am also using them as models for my look into the American way of life for middle class families. Ann and Susie are my favorite models… and we go everywhere together. It is good practice…

  • aka: mom This is my mom. She is a bit of a rarity in her neighborhood….I would even guess some of her neighbors might call her a bohemian because of her unconventional unruly yard….and if her neighbors knew about her technique to get rid of the Japanese Beetles that eat the flowers on her crape…

  • The biggest challenge of my weekend….taking a photo of a squished toad with my friend’s medium format camera….I don’t think wildlife photography is in my future……to be fair to myself, it was hard. The image projects backwards and to then try and get it straight while upside-down was close to impossible….for me. But just wait…
