Photographer What?

Last weekend Nan gave me the oh so generous job of traveling and taking photos of multiple properties that her company owns in Atlanta and South Carolina.

My first question: "you know I'm not a photographer right?"
answer: "yes"
second question: "you know I don't own a camera right?"
answer:"yes"
my final answer: "I'll do it"

and with that kind of trust, awesome camera equipment from school, and a pile of plane tickets and rental car tickets I took off to see the country.

This is what I saw of South Carolina:
Oh and this too:

These were the kinds of properties they own. They're kind of like all of those places in St. George. I don't know if you would call them condos or apartments - but they had swimming pools and tennis courts

This is what I saw of Georgia:
This is what I saw of Charlotte, NC - don't worry I didn't go in, but I did have to pull over to take a pic. Look closely.
This is the one place that I ate at that wasn't a gas station. Jerry's BBQ. All locals, oh except me.


It was all I ate since 8 that morning . . . and it took like .2 seconds to eat before getting in the car and booking it to the airport to get on a plane once more.


All in all it was pretty awesome because I got to take three flights in less than 48 hours - which made me feel like a total jet setter. I also got to catch up on some quality driving on the free way and singing to the radio - which I happen to LOOOVE (no joke).

And last but NOT least, when I arrived at the Charlotte, North Carolina International Airport Holiday Inn who do I find I am sharing my hot digs with???

Just the International Little People Convention. You got it, little people kids, teenagers, and adults with name tags rocking out all night, running up and down the halls. If only I had the energy to dance, I like to think I would be in there making little people friends - if I weren't rejected for being the most opposite of a little person, except of course when Meredith attempts to render me as a south park character, along with her and Leah. (apperantly my eye is tweeky because of the stress from school), oh and apperantly the South Park Leah isn't as hot as the Simpsonized Leah. Oh and the South Park Meredith wears a scarf on stage when she's being a rock star?????
(yeah, I know that was a pretty amazing transition. I have a gift)

mmm... bbq, onion rings, and adult super stores, that is what I call a V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N. The little people area just a bonus.

Didn't your mom ever tell you that it wasn't safe to drive and take pictures at the same time?

Did you see the crew from Little People Big World. I too love that show and each season they make a trip to the little people convention so that their son can find a girlfriend/future wife.

So I have only seen little people, big world once and it was when they went to the little people convention and the little brother got thrown into the pool by his buddies. I was seriously looking for them, but I don't if I would have recognized them - but it totally reminded me of that!

I also enjoy watching Little People, Big World. I can't believe you saw the little people convention. Your pictures are very good. You are so talented.

Do you mean midgets?

jmb said...

I think "little people" is more all incompassing, because what if they were dworfs? or some other form of birth defective stumpiness? I wouldn't want to offend anyone.

Ten points!
