Sorry for the late post about our trip to Savannah. It has been crazy in the office since I got home.

What an awesome trip we had! Savannah, Georgia is one of the most beautiful cities that I've visited, and I really enjoyed being surrounded by such rich and interesting history. It was a quick trip to Savannah--we only spent 3 nights there (the first night we arrived and went straight to bed after the 17 hour drive!). However, I cannot wait to return to get a more complete idea of the city.

We traveled around the historic area of Savannah, and it was really special to hear my mother-in-law talk about growing up in the city, and the places she visited as a child and young adult. We also got to sail on a 44 foot sailboat for the day, which was very nice and relaxing. We ended that day boiling crabs on the dock and watching fireworks...an incredible way to celebrate the 4th of July.

We left Georgia to meet more family on St. George's Island off the Florida coast. We had a lot of rain, but we enjoyed what good weather came our way. Regan and I traveled into the small town of Apalachicola, Florida, walked around, and visited with a local photographer, Richard Bickel, whose work is beautiful. He has been documenting the locals and their rich culture since he moved to Apalachicola in 1994.

I'll be scanning some of the film from the trip soon, and will post those if I like any of them. I photographed several rolls with my old Mamiya 6 Rangefinder, a camera that is probably close to 50 or 60 years old.
