A Bit of A Random…
Photoblog…
Lately, I’ve been editing a TON of old photos… Some older than
others, to be sure but bunches of shots none-the-less.And now, as it’s getting late at night, and I’ve already lost this post
to Xanga’s evil monsters once and I’m running a bit low on the energy
I’d need to combat them after writing another epic length post, lol.“Hunter Museum of Art”
Taken during one of my trips back to Tennessee
sometime around August or September
You simply HAVE to see this one Larger!
“Insane Graffiti”
Or perhaps something a bit more risque?
Insane eh? Haha
Christmas with the Farewells….
(And the rest of our family… Caroling!)
We’ve had this ongoing tradition for as long as I can
remember, dinner with the extended family at the Chalet
then a march all the way through the dining room with the
entire family in tow, singing at the top of our lungs!!
My lovely Aunt and Cousin (From Christmas Eve also)
Bri finally made it!
After an incredibly difficult journey Bri arrived two days
after Christmas to meet my folks… I dare say they loved her
“A Perfect Ten”
Shot this one and the next at a friend’s engagement party
Emilie…
Has absolutely incredible eyes, and just so happens to
be the Groom’s sister
And Bri loves water “almost” as much as I do.
Okay, lets jump around a bit.
Sarasota, FL
Lunch & cigar time!
With one of my finance mentors
And then?
Chattanooga, TN
Off to Atlanta… With snow!
Out of order, but:
St. Augustine, FL
And that’s all for tonight
Hopefully more to come very, very soon!Let me know if I can be praying for you…
I haven’t asked in a while, but I’d be blessed if I can.What Was Your Favorite Photo?

i’m the first whoote!! yea you really need to sleep brotha. Can’t keep this “staying up all night” routine forever. ahha Nice comprehensive set Eric!
lol wow man……gotta love that wide angle!!! insanely great pics of bri, totally captures who she is LoL… and yea…those risque photos rock!!!
your pictures are incredible!
i really like emilie’s one..shes so pretty 
and the “lunch & cigar time” one…that background of that one is just amazing
nice job Eric! don’t stay too busy and get some rest!
Hi Eric!!! I like your portraits best….the one of your Aunt and cousin and then the one of Emily…. After that I like the cigar lunch…also a kind of portrait and the one of Bri in front of the aquarium…. sounds like the wedding season is really shaping up for you!!! Your fees (although I am sure you are worth it!!!) are more than the entire budget for our wedding…but we are thankful the Lord gave us even that much! It is a miracle indeed!!!! You can pray it all goes well…March 29th!
I love the one of Bri trying to catch snowflakes… too many childhood memories there.
such fun shots! hope you guys are having a great week
the graffitis are hilarious!
”
Insane eh?” Quite.
Loved the Hunter Museum photo.
The textures you used on the musuem really complement the image!
Paint on walls, i like them,I bet you have lots of those on file from Chattanooga
Love your family tradition, do you have many guests staying at the chalet for Christmas, or is it closed?
Bri can look SO weird or so beautiful
Nice focus and angle on that 10 ball
Beautiful blues eyes and perfect light!
Lunch and Cigar…just what I think Florida light looks like
Great angle and sharp, clean color on the aquarium
Um…LOL…do you have any “pretty” pictures of Bri?
the church, lovely, calm, nice finish for this fun post!
The hawtness quotient dropped when you don’t appear in any of the pics. But they still look good.
great pictures you have there!
Hmmm, wrote a comment and it disappeared! I will try again
I love the warmth in the family christmas image, also your Aunt and cousin…so beautiful. I also like the one of Bri and the Aquarium….fun angles and light, looks like a poster.
Thanks for the prayers…you could pray for my body…having pain again the last couple weeks, and better sleep. I also need wisdom on the doctor to go to for tests and help. Finally have some $ to throw at this but it is limited. I don’t just want to cover up the pain but get to underlying issues. I had a great doc years ago for this but he retired. Thanks dear! Jenny
It looks like your christmas and time with Bri was fabulous!
David and I are going to Sarasota for our honeymoon, I have never been before, but through your picture, it looks beautiful!
Fabulous images!! Love the elephant one hahaha. Fun stuff!
Love the pool shot
.
your aunt is SO BEAUTIFUL!
FEELS GOOD TO HEAR SOMETHING LIKE THAT COMING FROM YOU since i Look up to you and all that mushy stuff. ahhaah OK i sound emo now. anyway thanks bro!
which pic do I like best? that’s like asking me to choose between favorite cookies. I love ‘em all…duh.
i absolutely adore the snow picture!
You make me want to travel so much now…I’m about ready to take a leave of absence from work, and just go on a photography journey! Great stuff! Thanks for sharing!

eric, you take the BEST photos i’ve ever seen! seriously, man. you have SUCH a great eye! if i ever get married, i hope to God you’d take my photos and you’d travel to MD, and i could afford you
Those are some great pictures!!!! Everybody always looks like they are having such a fun time.
Awesome photos Eric! I am so glad you are blogging more!!!
Amazing pictures!!
happy valentine’s day!
Your colors are amazing.
Have a groovy weekend!
sweet – send me an email with your address and i’ll give you instructions on the shirt. They are $20 plus $2 for shipping. Thanks bro!
Amazing work!
skills! my favorite is the pool shot. was it photoshopped?
by the way, i’ve never been to those two restaurants you listed haha! they’re super touristy! when are you coming in? let me know what kind of food you like and maybe i can figure out the best places for you to try out.
ryc: then get one bro!!!! i’m more than sure one of your gigs can allow you to get one. =)
It’s a real toss up as to which to I think is the best….. The first one is fantastic but then I also really enjoy the one of your fiancé holding the flash. (The look on her face is classic) That and I have to agree that Emilie has wonderful eyes. I noticed them right away and then read your comment, lol. Hope you had a wonderful V-Day and keep up the fantastic photography.
God Bless

Haha well, my parent’s first (blind) date was at Scomas about 30 years ago, way back BEFORE
it was that crazy tourist spot so we still go back as often as possible, lol.
I DO love food though, and detest tourists so I shall be following up with you, I need your wisdom
great SF food master!
i liked the picture of the boat.
that was my 2nd time taking photographs of a proposal and it’s so scary because you don’t want to ruin it!!!!!!! BUTTTTT very very very rewarding in the end!
Your colors are ALWAYS so incredibly crisp. Love them:)
and yes.. more nipples and coochies… They’re all over the place? Do you know Xanga’s policy on nudity on the blogs? Is it the obvious no-no? I feel like I’m going to get booted off… =P
Nice pics!!!
Love all those pics especially the 1st one. I like the sepia/aged effect.
I know she’s way too pretty for me! Don’t let on! She doesn’t need to know that yet!
We can tell her after we’re married. HAHA
Hope you are doing well. I love your art–pics. I guess I like the FL picture the best. But they all are grand. Take Care, Sharon in Charleston
@GenoVa -
hahaha totally man, I can keep my mouth shut until then
You guys pick out a wedding photographer yet?
@Av8tqr - we’re about to put a deposit down with Harvard Photography… price was the main factor. Half a dozen or more of our guests are professional photographers that I graduated with… aha i’m sure they’ll have cameras there to make up for whatever flaws Harvard PHotography may have.
I was originally going to use Junshien but we took too long deciding and he got booked.
Great shots btw.
@GenoVa - Psh, I shoot with Scott Robert too, hire me instead!
Oh, and I’m way cooler than Harvard
@Av8tqr - lol, highly doubt we can afford you.
or Matt for that matter.
@GenoVa - Just sent you an email
@djfree - Haha thanks man!
I’d love to shoot a wedding there, hurry up!
mu goodness, i haven’t been following in a while and…. wow, lotsa stuff has happened.
@bunu324 - Haha ya man… It was quite a year
lol, Why are you forced to love that image? I didn’t say you HAD to like it.
Hey, thanks for adding me and for subbing. I appreciate it!
You take some awesome pictures! My favorite in this post is the second to the last…the snow one. Good stuff!
Thanks again and God bless!

Man, I love how you get natural colors. I think i’m getting too artificial with my editing. Great photos man
missing your posts and comments
hope they get your computer back to you soon
Wonderful wonderful photos Eric, Judi
ERIC!!!! wasup brother from another mother! ahah where are all your recent updates bro?
Your thoughts re. any potential engagement, that it would be done with much more style than the pics on Broncomom’s site, were exactly what I thought…..but then, when everyone seemed to think it a possibility….I said, “Eh, who knows? People aren’t predictable!”
Nice photography. I esp like the shot of your Aunt and cousin!
@i_was_there_and_back_again - Haha thank you for the faith!
I can assure everyone… I’d do much better, lol.
Wonderful photos as always. Come by once in a while. Judi
you take some amazing photos
thank you for sharing !!!!
I like the picture of Bri eating snow. lol
okay…..looking at the wedding pictures and seeing how absolutley amazing they are, when i get married i’m hiring you as the official photographer and pay generously xp
I like the pool one and the snow one a lot. But they are all beautiful! What kind of lens(es) do you use anyways?
av8rqt
cool photos
Hey Eric! Thanks for the response on the post… it’s been pretty crazy and I’m so thankful to be alive. God has provided again and I am again reminded of God’s sovereignty and grace!
BTW, it is a good thing I saw the last bit of the post! I know Boone had wanted to ask you – but we’re just poor!
I am so glad that God is blessing your business so much – and your other businesses as well – Boone has been talking it up. Maybe a few wedding anniversaries from now we’ll be able to afford you! 
Blessings to you and Bri! I can tell she’s adorable!
@rachelgrace07 -
You two are too sweet… I hope to be able to see you and Boone no matter what!
