Waxahachie Texas!

This is a nice little town 30 minutes south of Dallas while I was visiting over the break. Apparently, it has been the location of several films, none of which I know the names of, IMDB it.

I in an antique store.


Men’s restroom at a restaurant with delicious chicken sandwiches.






Waxahachie’s Courthouse in the center of downtown.

Scotty!


A photo of scotty watching The Office (British) on the tele inspired from a photo (not shown) by Scotty.

Photography in it’s most basic and literal form. We ventured into some other designs, but are not shown here because they may be considered offensive or may not even be considered. The Magnetic Fields are on the audiobox and I can’t complain about a thing.

Parades and such!



I actually carried my tripod with me and shot this at 200 ISO right after dusk using tungsten white balance, which made the sky become a much more vibrant blue. This was a 4 second exposure at f/3.5. I think a slightly shorter exposure would have made the fireworks a little more defined. Can’t win em’ all.

This was inside a storage container at a church that collects and gives out clothes and food to those in need. The blown out area behind her is outside, I tried doing some balancing with a strobe, but it didn’t look any good in this situation and I would have lost the window light.

Sidenotes!

I shook a monkee’s hand. His name is Whoop Whoop.

Sports and a Food Drive!

Victoria Morton (from left), of Charleston, SC, waits outside while Staff Sergent Chris Marsh and Arthur Hopkins, carry a bin, weighing over 100 pounds, full of donated food into Morton’s home Thursday afternoon. The bin consisted of bread, a ham and turkey, canned foods, and preperation products such as sugar and flour. The Marine Contingent at the NROTC of Citadel College collected over 8200 cans and 30 frozen turkeys that were donated to the Low Country Food Bank and Crisis Ministries. Five bins consisting of everything needed for a complete Thanksgiving meal were delivered to five area families.

Jason Dickerson (from left), and Marcus Ashby, of the Marine Contingent of the Naval ROTC at Citadel College dump donated can food into a box that will be sent to the Low Country Food Bank Thursday afternoon at Jenkins Hall at Citadel College.


Ron Williams (left back), Steve Smalls (left forward), and Cal Morrison (right), celebrate after Morrison putted for the teams first birdie Friday afternoon at the Charleston Municipal Golf Course. “We like to make sure we help the scholarship fund,” said Williams, an alumni of South Carolina State University and member of the Charleston Chapter of the SCSU National Alumni Association. The Chapter held a tournament to raise money toward a scholarship fund they have granted every year since the mid-70’s.




This was my first time using a 500mm lens, and though it is very tight (this is full frame) making it a little difficult to get everything in the frame, it is worth it when you do get a shot because it cleans the background up so well.
