Election Night
So much has been said about the 2008 Election already – I don’t have much to add. Let’s just say that Sam is very happy that ‘Mr Obama’ as he calls him came out on top. I had the pleasure of working out of the CNN.com newsroom on the big night, which for our purposes was something of a sleeper – with polls pretty much clearly indicating who was going to win, we didn’t melt down the internet (or our ad serving) quite the way we thought we might. We were more than prepared for anything that might happen – in the end it was just a pleasure to see how things unfolded.
Family Portraits
As you probably know, the photography genes run through 2/3 of the Trotz boys – my brother Jerry is a fine photographer, and currently makes his living shooting in Savannah. On our visit in mid-November, he dragged out his spiffy new lights and got down to some great photos of our clan. I think a bunch of these are awesome. There is something about a formal portrait that’s so different from the grabs we normally get. I like a lot of the feeling here.
Savannah Wildlife Refuge
Back in mid-November, we headed home to visit my mom and brother Jerry in Savannah. As we were driving from our hotel to my mom’s place, Noah fell asleep, so we needed to hunt for something to do and allow Noah to get a much-needed nap. So off to the Savannah Wildlife Refuge we went. Just 10 miles North of the city over in South Carolina, I always loved going there to look at the ‘gators, birds and foliage. Sam enjoyed it, and Noah slept most of the time. We won’t talk about the fire ant incident. Amy was itching for days. Click below to see the gallery of photos from our visit.
