Busy Streets of Downtown Birmingham at Night
I wanted to throw something a little different in there today for the image of the day, like an image of the night instead. One of my favorite times to shoot anything, photography related of course, is first light, last light, and at night. At night you can get some really unique perspectives you can’t…

Cold Day on the Beach in February is Empty and Fun
Some days a cold day on the beach is better than a warm day inside. The beaches, in most parts of the country right now, are completely empty, but put a nice cool breeze and January into the mix and you get this (see beach image below). Not only is there a rare February thunderstorm…

Pitching a Tent on the Empty Gulf Shores Beach
The weather is wonderful. It is cooling down, finally, and we found this fabulous tent thing at the dollar store. Can I hide out here forever? Scott says no, so tomorrow it is back to the house and back to our day jobs. When we arrived at the boat there was a pod of dolphins,…

Alabama Heat // From the Marchio's House
Ahhhhhhh! Alabama in July! The heat, the humidity, the mosquitoes… what more could anyone want? Except perhaps air conditioning.
