    Faces of Franklin

    Hi guys,


    I had a wonderful trip to NC over the weekend and now I am home and briming with pictures. I Am going to post them in a few series' over the next few days. This is my first group; candid portraits taken in Franklin NC.

    BTW While I was on my vacation I got a call from Angelwood, and they loved me. I got the job and I start on tuesday with a short meet and greet with the guys from the house I will be working at. It is really a test to see if they will except me, so wish me luck!















    My dad doing what makes him the happiest. He is like a kid in a candie store when he gets to mine for gems and sold... He's so damn cute...

    ...and your dad's wearing your shirt too! Does he need any Lake Superior agates? Is he a lapidary too?

    Good to have you back. Great news about the job. I like the faces, the kid with the DEW is great.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Re: Faces of Franklin

    Hey thanks guys!

    I had my first short, 2 or so hours, visit with the boys today, and so far everything seems good. They all took direction from me and had no problem with my presence in the house. Maybe someday I will have some pics to post of them, we will have to see how that goes. Anyway thanks for the comments. I'll keep ya'l up to date on my progress...

    Good luck on the job, I hope that all goes well. Is that up in Jacksonville? I'll be driving up 95 your way on Thursday evening looking for a hotel to spend the night on the way to Clemson. PM me if you feel like meeting for dinner.
