i’ve known bonnie and todd for many years now.  they’ve been influencial people in the life of my family - probably without even knowing it.  so about a year ago when bonnie mentioned having me take some pictures of their family, i was very excited.  but for some reason it never got on the calendar.  that is until last week.

i had not been to their house for a few years so i cruised by a good 20 minutes early.  because i didn’t want to intrude, i rolled right on by thinking i would explore their neighborhood for a few minutes before showing up for real.  two minutes later i get a phone call: “geordie?  are you lost?”  i don’t think bonnie believed me when i told her my plan.  ”just get over here,” she said.

and this is what happened…

these next are some of my favorites. they probably won’t end up huge prints in the fearer house as the super nice kids are looking moody and tough-guy, but i like the way they turned out. so there. you gotta look at them because i liked them.

one of my pictures made it on the rose’s christmas card last year to great success. i heard about it from many. great advertising for sure! let’s see what they come up with this year.

a year ago or more i took some pictures for a company in town owned by a friend.  they were redoing their website and wanted some images.  you can see their site here at PelagoDesign.com.  fast forward to a month or two ago when another friend in town, running another company, asked if i’d do the same for them.  he had seen my pelago work and wanted something similar.

at first i was worried that i was not going to be able to reproduce the look of the first job for the second.  but then i just decided to embrace the difference and go for capturing the people instead of the space.  i think we got something they can use.

as of this post, the new anchor point site is not live.  when it is, i’ll hook you up.  until then, here are a few i liked.  i don’t know what will end up in their final.  i’ll let them figure that out.

 edit: they went live! check ‘em out here.

today i got my first christmas card of the ‘08 holiday season.  it was from the killams.  with one of my pictures.  the one from the previous post.  it reminded me that i had promised some more.  here they are.
