For those of you who are interested (Cary), here's how I set up the black and white portraits:



And, since I forgot to bring clamps...

Papa is most at home when he is sitting in his big leather chair, the TV on CNBC, his head cocked back while he is completely passed out in one of his "Papa Naps".

However, between nap and bedtime, Papa and I sat down for a 2 hour coversation last night. One of my favorite stories was of Papa playing in a basketball tournament in highschool. He remembered everything: the points he scored in each game, the names of each team, etc. "Then there was this one player who would always stay at the 3 point line and wait for me the come at him. Because of him, I only scored 3 points in that game", he then paused. "His name was Ferbi, and he dropped the atomic bomb in World War II."

Crazy.

Papa and I went to coffee this morning and then we drove all over Enterprise the rest of the day. I really can't wait to get the film back

Over the next few days I'll be taking pictures, 8mm, and audio interviews with my Grandfather, Papa. This will all come together in a 3-5 minute multimedia presentation on his day-to-day life.

I hope to update while I'm there, but you never know, because he doesn't have the internets in his house (go figure).

A couple of weeks ago I had the dear pleasure of meeting Laura's PawPaw for the first time.





He is a classic man. Not only is he a kickn photographer, he also plays the violin (which makes him double cool)





One Sentence Story: As we searching for a whiskey glass to put his whiskey in, he said "I'll drink it out of anything that will hold it!"



See the whole gallery, HERE.

Note: In a few weeks I will be spending about 5 days with my own PaPa, documenting his day-to-day through pictures, audio, and 8mm....so, there's that.

I love my family. There are a lot of us, and when we get together for holidays, it's always a big deal! The 8mm should be getting back in a few days, so I hope to have it up close to the beginning of new week. Enjoy!

Tomorrow I drive up to Chattanooga, TN, to shoot for Matthew Perryman Jones's new album. We have a really great concept worked out, so if all goes well, awesomeness will occur.

Speaking of the Jones'...

About a month ago Cannan Elizabeth Jones came into the world.

She is a cute baby.

Fact.

Matthew and Megan wanted some shots of the new wee one, so away to Nashville I went.
