Some Smartphone Photography Tips and Critique

Last night I hosted an "off scheduled" Smartphone Photographers Community Hangout on Air. This time, it was just myself and one of the moderators. Why? To do some in depth critiquing of some of my past photographs. Check this out. Let me know what yall think of this. It's not in long form like our other event is, but I think it went well. Thanks for your support, your sharing and feedback!

Just. Can't. Wait!

It's finally time for college football! More so, it's finally time for #CLEMSON football! Yall know how depressed I've been this long off-season? Well that has come to an end, folks. Saturday August 31st marks our first game and first home game. It's against a STOUT Georgia Bulldogs team. This game will be a tough one, I have no doubts. But man am I ready for the season to commence. I love this vid from ESPN as a teaser.  

Let's do this thang, yall!   Go Tigers!

Intimidation

A few weeks ago before I got crazy busy, the fam and I headed out to the local amusement park, Carowinds. This was a monumental day. Why? Because the #hardheadz have now "graduated." By graduated, I mean they have pretty much given up on the lil' kiddie rides. Even the 7 year-old is in on it.  Here's one of those expensive shots from the coaster that they sell when you get off of the ride.

I love amusement parks and roller coasters in particular. I have always enjoyed heights and speed. That's what a roller coaster brings. Over recent years, I didn't enjoy going to the park as much because NO ONE would ride anything. This year, they've come around. The flagship coaster at Carowinds is the Intimidator. I LOVE this coaster's speed and thrill. It's slightly different from most coasters as it uses negative G-forces more than regular G's. But I won't get all nerdy on you. Check out this vid.  

I love that ride. I look forward to the next thrill to come to the area. I look forward to the hardheadz takin' the challenge too.
