Native American Festival

The Native American Festival (Pow Wow) at Stone Mountain was pretty good. A lot of dancing and enterainment. One of the good things or at least I think it is good is there was not a lot of money takers (vendors) there. They close up on Sunday so make some time to check them out.

Snow - Georgia Style

The big white blob is a hill of snow. Here in Georgia we don't get to see to much of that stuff, so we make it! What a deal. Anyway, Stone Mountain is gearing up for the winter snow park, so get your cardboard belly skinners ready to rumble!

Hillcrest Pig Races

	Ever been to a pig race? If not, then make plans to attend one. The races at Hillcrest Farms are wonderful, especially for those that are truely kids at heart. The pigs are cute and funny as they are running down the back stretch.  One of the little guys actually was distracted by my camera and started to check it out, but at the last second changed his mind.
	Pig races are not the only thing racing at Hillcrest. Horse races are at hand as well. To add a little excitement they give the men in the stands a chance to ride a wild horse in a heated race. The horse is one of those stuff horse heads (plush toy) on a stick. You have to see it to believe it. They are wacky!

Peachtree Latino Festival

The festival was great. A lot of food, street dancing, kids having fun, homeless people filling their belly, singing and the list goes on. I am not really sure if I found a PJ shot here; the fun factor was high and no drama to be found! I have some images on the flickr, so check'em out.

Atlanta's Americas Town Hall Meeting

The Town Hall Meeting today was more like the picnic on the lawn. A little heat, some passing out, but overall a good rally. A lot of supporters and one unexpected guest. Guess who? Hint - see the photo. But that was fine, because all are welcome and you don't have to give your name to attend. Hopefully we will see you at the next Tea Party!  I shall put some photos on the flicker after a bit; I have some more shooting to do before dark.

Check out my flicker for more photos.

Monroe, Stop Obama, Bike Racing

Shooting the time trials of the Georgia Cup is not as easy as it seemed. For one the racers generally have their heads in the downward position, creating a bit of a shadow. Capturing expressions was a task. But they move as well, sometimes fast and sometimes not so fast, but that was another task in its own. I was hoping to get some panning shoots, but that didn't happen as well as I planned.

During my little trip I did notice the good people of Monroe seem to have had enough of our good President, see the sign on the left.

Of course during the slow parts of the race there was always someone trying to get in on the action.

PPA’s International Print Competition

The PPA’s International Print Competition is a world-renowned photographic competition and it will be held here at Gwinnett Tech. This is a monumental event folks. I have been looking at the past entries and the images are just remarkable. The images on the left are samples of the amazing work. Don't miss it! I hope you have entered and good luck!
