Saturday afternoon found me and my handy Nikon at the local American Legion Post 135 where I’m a member. A hangout for many, for me, a photo shoot waiting to happen. Game of pool anyone?

104 Things to Photograph – Messy Hair
St. Patrick’s Day Festival, Emmett Park. Tara Feis – Irish Festival in Savannah, Georgia 2015
The band offered a lively tune…
Three fair maidens answered the call…
A challenge was given to dance…
She gladly accepted, and dance she did…
Those on the stage soon joined in…
Fiddle and pipes stoked the flames of a passionate dancer…
So the went dance on…
Fiddle and fingers, feet and dance, sweat-smile-passion. Eyes met, rhythms intertwined…
A moment captured… Messy Hair
A soul free!This post is part of a series of photographs inspired by a birthday gift I received from my good friends Donnie and Kinzie. (Kinzie is an awesome photographer with her own bragging rights. Check it out. Kinzie Ferguson Photography.) They both knew I was trying to learn this whole digital photography thing and suggested the best way to learn is… to take more pictures! Wow! Rocket science! Who knew? My gift, a book of photo ideas. Two for every week of the year, 104.

Silver Symmetry
The beauty of lines and the shiny things can be found in a casual walk down Savannah’s Liberty Street. I do love to walk, and I like to take every opportunity to capture anything that catches my eye. Local eatery J.Christopher’s was the focal point of this morning’s saunter. Sidewalk symmetry speaks to my senses as silvery reflections pull me in, then fade away in seamless perfection. I’m drawn to stoop down and wonder if the waiter or waitress purposely planned this mathematical maze (amazement) that several pedestrians passed by without similar ponderance.
Perhaps I finally stumbled upon a perfect example of what gave my college algebra/pre-calculas teacher, Ms Ewbank fits of utter joy, an honest-to-goodness real-life visual representation of textbook math application – Symmetry! Ok, maybe I’m getting a little carried away, but why not? It’s not everyday I find a photoshoot lined up and waiting for me. Lines and curves, concave and convex; chairs, tables, sidewalk cracks, windows and light posts all dance a woven inter-connectedness that only came from a universal maker.
You look and see. Me? I’m off on another walking adventure. Laters!

Just Look Closer
I love to walk in the downtown historic district of Savannah. Since moving downtown I have been doing a lot of walking. One thing I really enjoy is how I can explore the same streets and lanes and still find something new, something striking, something that catches my attention. The everyday can surprise you!
Camera in hand, I snap pictures of moss on old weathered brick walls, flower pots tucked in corners on elevated porches, metal railings rusting in a beautiful turquoise green and then… a window with bars.
Did these bars say stay out, keep back? A closer look reveals messages of affirmation. Look closer still. A conversation between friends Scott and Matthew? Reflecting on a time that was good. Maybe the tone is being set for others to realize how we should cherish our relationships and cultivate new ones with those we may meet on Monday strolls down historic Savannah streets. Look closer at the faces that pass you by. They may at first say “keep out”, “I’m in a hurry”, but really are waiting for a chance to grace your life and you may bring a smile on their faces today.
So to you my followers… I love You! Thank you for stopping by! It was so good chat with you again!
And thank you Scott and Matthew for some inspiration!
