Tossing mullets

It’s time once again on the Gulf Coast beach for the annual Mullet Toss at the Flora-Bama. I was only there for a very short while at the end last year, but managed to get a few images before everybody left. The event runs today, April 27, through Sunday, April 29, 2012.

Deepwater Horizon anniversary

I didn’t have very much time to work on this yesterday, but on the 2nd anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion and subsequent oil spill, I wanted to at least grab a few images from the area. I don’t think a lot of people realized it was the anniversary. Also, I don’t think a lot of people actually recognize the tarballs that still dot the beaches. In any case, it looks a lot better than it did June 4, 2010, the date the below photo was taken.

The below photo is from roughly the same spot on the beach June 4, 2010, about 1 1/2 months after the oil began spewing non-stop into the Gulf.

Bar pilots

In December I photographed bar pilots that bring ships into the port here in Mobile. It’s a very important job in our area, and it was a lot of fun to see how it works. Climbing down a rope and wood ladder from a moving ship onto a moving pilot boat as they both bounce along on water seems like a cool way to get to work. I’m not sure how cool it would be when the seas were really rough, but it was nice and calm when I went along.

Celeste & Gaines’s winter wedding last month, was truly a wonderland. We were honored to photograph such a touching and beautiful event, and we loved getting to know such a sweet couple and their fun family and friends.
