This is the latest in the series I’ve called the “Alphabet Project”. Continuing with the photo-wandering and just seeing what catches my eye theme, I started with the letter A, and will work my way through the alphabet to Z, going out as often as I can to photograph things that begin with the letter for that day.

For this initial series, I’m doing businesses in and around Port Elgin and Southampton (otherwise known as Saugeen Shores). Many thanks to those participating businesses. Click on the names to view their websites, when applicable.

You can scroll down to view each letter’s post, or click on the Alphabet Project in the Categories section of the sidebar to see them all together. I’m quite enjoying this little photography project. I hope you do, too.

TIMELESS MATERIALS, Southampton:

I got a call from Glory Anne Bowman, owner of the Bowman House B&B in Southampton, to see if I could take some shots of her home while it was decorated for the Homes Tour this year. So I popped over on Sunday and here’s what I got for her. The house is for sale, so she’s hoping to use some of the shots to help sell it. But mainly she wanted them for posterity, as her husband’s grandfather originally built the house in 1895. It’s quite a lovely house, and apparently there was a lineup to get in during the tour.

Did a quick shoot with my friend, Gina, yesterday at her house. It was sunny, but not very warm, so I certainly appreciated her doing the the outdoor shots. Got some good ones … here’s a few from the shoot.

Taking advantage of this blast of warm, sunny weather, I asked my Fall Family if they’d be up for doing a 3-generation stock shoot with me. It was very last-minute, and we only had about an hour of late-afternoon light to work with by the time we got going. My goal was to make it look as much like Spring/Summer as possible (rather than late Fall), and I think we pulled it off for the most part.

Thanks to Kerry and her family for being so ready to go and for enduring our chilly backyard setting!

Here’s a few from the shoot.

Here’s a few sample pics of the hard-cover book I ordered of the fall family shoot, which just arrived, and the quality is outstanding. I think they’ll be happy with it.

In case you wondered, the new theme wasn’t working, so I’m back to the original one. I loved being able to put up larger-sized videos, but the flexible width of the window was creating viewing problems. Thanks to those who sent me notes on it.

But there will be changes in the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned. (Oh, and here’s that backyard image I had posted to test out the new theme.)
