Tania and Scott are special friends: they were one of the first couples I photographed when they got engaged. Now they are expecting their first baby in only two weeks. Scott's daughter Madison was full of energy, keeping everyone on their toes and "helping" Tania open the presents. She'll be a wonderful big sister.
After dropping off a friend who rode with me, I headed over to Decatur for my friend Ellen's solo exhibition show at the Sycamore Place Gallery. Ellen is a fantastically talented artist--this exhibition featured textured dry-brush paintings, and the theme was AIR FIRE WATER. They were fan-tastic.......really. Amazing use of color and texture. I want one! (Truth be told, I wanted THIS one, but somebody bought it.) You can view more of her work and purchase it here.
The gallery space itself is pretty darn cool: there's an alley that leads through an open garage door to the space. It was warm but not unbearably hot, so the perfect night to have an indoor/outdoor event like this.
And as usual things got slightly silly when the crowd dwindled at the end of the evening. I don't know these people, I swear--I just happened to be walking by with my camera!
