You better watch out, you better not pout…



You better watch out, you better not pout…, originally uploaded by jjlapierre.

As we loaded the car for our annual trip to the 4th of July fireworks with Granny and Papa, this little drama unfolded and I was just in the right place to get the perfect pout! I absolutely love this picture, but then I absolutely love this girl. The kids were actually very good the whole day though, and the fireworks were wonderful, as was the visit.

Factory in Machester GA

Factory For Sale – Manchester GA, originally uploaded by jjlapierre.

Riding home from McDonough, Georgia I stopped in a few spots for some pictures. I’ve always liked Manchester. The once busy factory right in the middle of town is now closed. I believe it used to be a hair brush factory. The air was clear and the sun was low but bright. This was taken around 7:00 PM using the kit lens on my Rebel T1i; no filters, almost no editing save a crop.

Standing there facing the rear wall of the main factory building, there was a field behind me. The field was in a depression as deep as the hill in front of me was tall, and just as green. Looked like it was once a water runoff pond for storms, factory use, or something. Across the depression is a beautiful white church, the face of the building was lit by the sun that was trying to hide behind the factory.

Peoples work and livelihoods were made … and broken in the factory before me. Their hope and faith stood behind me.

Look at those bright eyes. I actually remember this picture. There were a bunch of presents still wrapped and we wanted to continue, but thank goodness mom’s and dad’s like to take pictures. Happy days. Richy was always so handsome…

Me and Dad breakfast 1959

I believe this was Easter, 1959. Definitely has to be Schoffield Barracks. Looks like Daddy is peeling an egg, evidenced by the Mortons Salt (and it’s ever unchanging logo). Easter Lilly leaf extends into the frame. I wonder if I was looking at the little lamb?
