Where I Live

I find myself shooting more personal work since returning to film.  Since the lab charges for the whole roll, I have to find inventive ways to use up the frames left after a wedding.  Here are a few I took in just a few minutes in Macon.    When I got my license at 16, downtown Macon was my first destination, because I grew up in Byron which lacked a "downtown."  I loved the old buildings, urban decay and quirky denizens.


As I remember the story, the second doorway was once a jewelry store.  It is the jewelry store where my wife's grandfather bought the engagement ring for her grandmother...while her grandmother sat outside in the car.
