We want you....We want YOU!!

Wanna join a gang and run around shooting with us???? Then you're the person we're looking for for "Friday Shoot-Outs"!!

A really simple concept going here..........

Every week one of our gang members name is drawn from a hat by either I or Patty and they get to pick the weekly photo theme. No rules, no big critiques......we just want to see your town through your eyes. We have quite a few countries represented.....Brasil, Japan, the Philippines, Canada, China, Auckland, Australia and loads of states in the U.S.

Our gang does an awesome job every week and it's so much fun to see other people's town through their eyes and lens.

Simply hit me up with a comment and if you wouldn't mind comment to Cool Daddy-O Gordon @ Friday Shoot-Outs From Florida or the lovely GingerV @ flowers and more and they will gladly add you to our growing list. They are too sweet for keeping a running list for us.


Who knows..........you might get a cool gang T-Shirt with gang colors and get to throw gang signs while you're shooting your town up............


You might get to do a study on old barns...........


And you MIGHT make a few new awesome friends. I know I have!!

This week's subject chosen by the beautiful gigi @ afterthoughts is GARDENS. Flower gardens, veggie gardens, butterfly gardens, rock gardens, any interpretation you have of the subject.

What are you waiting for??????? We'll show you ours if you show us yours...................... :)

Friday Shoot-Outs - My Town Architecture

TGIF and time for our weekly gang project. If you are a new member or a first time shooter, welcome....we're all so happy to have you participating in our project.

Jen chose architecture as this weeks subject. I've chosen a hodgepodge of things that involve architecture Of some form. I used a lot of old buildings, houses and barns as my interpretation for this week. For some reason old places always pique my interest. I wonder about their history and what has taken place in these buildings in years gone by. Gigi has chosen next weeks theme and I've listed it at the bottom. You know guys, I think we're doing far more than merely taking pictures in our "Friday Shoot-Outs........we're recording the life of our cities in photographs.......

"I believe man must be free, both in spirit and society, that he must build strenght into himself, affirming the 'enourmous beauty of the world' and acquiring the confidence to see and to expree his vision. And I believe in photography as one means of expressing this affirmation, and of achieving an ultimate happiness and faith" ~~~~ANSEL ADAMS































Darling gigi@afterthoughts has chosen next weeks theme to be gardens. That will be a beautiful subject as well. So far everyone has chosen great subjects and we are so happy that so many new member's have joined our gang.

Tuesdays Touring Newnan - City Of Homes

I always have a Tuesday tour of things I've spotted in my beautiful town of Newnan, Georgia. This is the best place in the world to live. Nothing beats the enticing aroma of the pies baking through someone's screen that I smelled while out walking about town the other night.

Drive up to see us sometime. You'll pass through groves of dogwoods, then magnolias, before you duck under an allee of live oaks, forming a living tunnel of perpetual shade. We are an enchanted place in the soft green countryside of Georgia where yesterdays have yet to retire.

My produce guy Vernon......I caught him sitting in his truck between customer's. His tomatoes are good, until mine come in that is. Go see him on Highway 16, he sells lots and lots of delicious watermelons out of the back of his red truck when the season begins..........


Menu outside Espresso Lane for you sweets lovers........


A mural on the outside of Scott's bookstore, one of the friendliest places in town.....


Phlox starting to creep along it's way.......


Broad Street Sweets. The name says it all because everything is yummy.........


Speedy Taco because I want mine in a hurry (and it's dellcious of course).....


A Morgan grazing in the early morning I spotted............


Last night's moon through my front yard tree...........


A house that I like all nestled back in a beautiful spot........


Another house that I really like. Look at that veranda and it's for sale.......


Something Special Tea Room.............


An old barn house that I really liked...........


This was the Senior's of 2008 rock on the other side of town. The 2009 rock will soon be appearing.......


A big rock painted like a cow that I thought was pretty cool..........


A beautiful Orchid I saw in Andy's Nursery..........


Andy's Corner Market. They have beautiful plants, flowers, trees and shrubs and the nicest staff to help you with any questions and planting tips.......


Another shot inside Andy's Nursery. Their orchids are amazing and they sell garden goodies like gazing balls, birdie feeders, iron scrolls for outside gardens.....


A couple of guys spotted who had been playing ball.........


Kids spotted playing freeze-tag. I used to love to play freeze tag. The laughter I heard brought a smile to my face and warmth to my heart........


So come on down to see us. We'll welcome you with open arms and show you our finest. This "Friday's Shoot-Out" is Hometown Native Foods and Resturants, so I'll be showing you some of the fine dining we offer as well and the good ole down home southern cooking that we're so proud of. If you can't drive down soon, join us for Friday Shoot-Out's. We all have the best time and there are no rules at all. We just want to see the beauty of your town. If you would, please just try to make "Friday Shoot-out" part of your post title and someone will catch you pretty easily and add you to our ever growing list. GingerV has begun keeping a sidebar list of participant's as well as Papa now and what a great job they do. Last week Australia joined us and I think that France is joining this Friday. Saturday I also had 3 people from the U.S. that said that they are joinging this week so that's exciting. Can't wait to see all of the snapshots!!
