I have an exciting assignment from Atlanta Magazine shooting a story on honeybees that will run in the August issue. Today we went to UGA to photograph an entomologist.

After shooting, we were fortunate enough to have time for lunch at The Grit. If I only missed one thing about my college days spent in Athens, GA, it would be a meal here.

Lauren is my sister-in-law interning with me. Morgan assisted today.

Shortly after this, I received my steamed broccoli, collard greens and mashed potatoes with gravy. Vegetarian food has never been so yummy.

Morgan worked with me yesterday, too. He's reading the ambient for our first shot. A few minutes later, the sun topped those trees and gave us a killer back light.

Our beekeeper gave us each a bottle of his amazing tupelo honey.

Contrasting with today's vegetarian lunch, yesterday we ate at Fat Matt's Rib Shack.

A PBR tall boy is the perfect pairing for a slab of ribs.

I photographed Kevin Tressler of Coca-Cola a few months back for the Continental Airlines Magazine. If you fly Continental Airlines, take a look in the seat-back pocket in front of you for your free copy.

They gave me some space on the contributors page.

He was really friendly and generous with his time. All these really cool Coke bottles are part of a packaging project designed by Iconologic.

Melody made this colored pencil sketch of Finn for my Father's Day present.

We're staying in Marathon this week with my in-laws. Yesterday we went to Bahia Honda State Park. We had a picnic lunch and then went for a swim.

Little Finn hung out with his Maw Maw while his Uncle Mike ate his sandwich.

We went to a restaurant in Whale Harbor that had this amazing mural painted on the walls.

Finn woke me up early this morning. I took him for a walk on the beach, then a swim in the pool. After breakfast, he was ready for a nap.

He's still half asleep here.

I took the kids swimming before dinner. Finn does great in the water.

Iliana likes to fill the inside of the water noodle and send water shooting up into the air by blowing into one end.

I took Iliana on her first overnight camping trip this weekend. We went to Dockery Lake up in North Georgia.

She helped set up the tent, then started working on her push pop.

This morning we woke up, broke camp and headed to Vogel State Park to do some swimming.
