Readers and Research – The Macon Connection
I often hear from readers who compliment me on a post, but have a bit more information to share with me — a family story, another photograph, or news regarding what I have written. This time I will only mention two of those “shares” that are particularly interesting to me, and they have the city […]
Be My Valentine
Enjoy these images made by Georgia photographers (plus one other) of couples who were, we hope, each other’s Valentine. These are not all great photographs, but they each tell a story, as do each of these photographers.

A short post to let you know about the latest updates to my Biographical Checklist of Early Georgia Photographers, 1841-1861 (January 2016). This checklist is what I call “a Living Document.” I update it as often as necessary, and to me the personalities listed within it have become very much alive. Although I never expect to, I […]

Wednesday Website: Looking at Luminous-Lint
I want to begin this new year with a review of the website luminous-lint.com, launched in 2005, and ten years old as of December 2015.
