Picture Time #3

So I have been lazy on writing lately. I apologize (to my friend Scott especially, as I am pretty sure he might be one of the few non-relatives that actually reads this semi-regularly). You see, I have some good ideas, I've just been slow to formulate and blogify them. They're coming, I promise.

Anyway, I figured I could at least throw some more photos up. I spent the afternoon at Great Falls (VA side of it), and snapped some cool/fun/interesting pics. While a few are below, the rest can be seen in this sampling here, hosted on my Facebook account. (Maybe we can be friends?)

Picture Time #2

For Picture Time this week, I want to share some pics I snapped this past weekend down in Cary, NC, at the Avett Brothers show. These guys are, hands down, my favorite artists out today. They are pretty much why I love music.

Anyway, all of this can be a topic for another day. For now, here are a couple of my favorite shots. Enjoy!

For more on these guys, check out their Myspace page, or look them up on YouTube. Videos from their live shows truly show the energy that they put in to each and every performance, day in and day out.

Picture Time

Very recently, I have found myself with a good deal of extra time on my hands. Without getting into the particulars, I am endeavoring to invest this free time into some constructive hobbies. For instance, I have been spending more time writing music, writing on this here weblog, maybe do a little reading, and finally getting back into the photography thing as well.

And so, ideally once or twice a week, I am going to combine two of those activities in the above list and post some recent photos on here. If there is a story behind any of them, I will put it out there as well.

So, for the inaugural photo-post.... (drumroll)

That's all for today. I'll have some more up later this week.
