When: Saturday October 28, 2006
Where: Berry College, Rome GA
Why: To take beautiful photos.

Here is also a link to some of the photos I took the other day there:

I am checking with the facility to see if we can rent a golf cart to get everyone around so again I would like a list to see who is planning on coming. I was told by an employee there that the colors were in full force on the last weekend in October. I wil go if no one else goes.

So who is with me?

List of people showing up:

Personally, I prefer a silver cart. Gold is too gaudy for my tastes. Maybe chrome? Let's get MTV out there to Pimp Our Ride!

Eeek, that's the weekend between both of my boys' Birthdays and is usually when we have their party. Though we haven't actually set a date yet, so if we plan it for a different weekend, I'll be there. Otherwise, I'll have to catch you guys on the next one. I'll let you know when I know.

Thanks for the heads up James. :)

Well that is the only weekend I have free from now until Thanksgiving.

I wanted to go before the Atlanta GTG, but we were swamped... I won't miss out on this one!

What time of day? (and are guests allowed?)

We'll try to be there. If not Elvis and the kids too than at least me probably. What's the deal with kids at this one?

Kids are more than welcome.

wilow and me spent 4 hours there and only went to three things so I am sure we will have planty to photograph.

I was thinking 9 or 10 ish in the morning and take a lunch break then come back and shoot for a few more hours. I will probably need a list of people cause The House Of Dreams is by appointment only.

I will edit my first post to show a list of people planning on showing up.

And Billy I will assume your talkative wife will be with you.

Crystal I find it strange that you joined April 7th 2006 but didn't select your OWN husband as a favorite until September 13th, 2006

Oh cool. Rex your pics are beautiful. I'm a maybe. My son plays baseball and we may still be in the playoffs at that point. It's double elimination so I may not know until the night before whether I can go or not. Hope that's not a problem....Kim

I can probably knock 1 hour off that

I'm headed over to Helen, GA tomorrow with the family. Hopefully we'll get a shot or three in between pickin' apples.

Billy, dude, ya gotta watch whatcha post. She's gonna start readin' the threads you post to and then all your good hookup hotspots'll be gone. Just tell 'er that you're going fishin' or something like that.

Well, I was looking forward to this one, but it looks like I'll have to miss it. We are taking a boat ride from Charleston to Jacksonville that weekend to watch Georgia play poorly against those Floridiots. I'll be looking for the next one, though.

I would like to come to this one. My schedule has kept me from doing much the past year. Put me down with a wife and two girls tagging along.

Yay! I get to take pictures with real live photographers!!!

Well folks, it looks like you won't be able to get rid of me this time around either. :) Looks like I may be able to make it to this afterall and it sounds like another fun time. Can't wait to see all the beautiful fall leaves.

10/11/2006 02:09:16 PM · #21

Does this mean your sidekick will be coming also?

10/11/2006 02:38:48 PM · #22

Well I just got off the phone with Berry College. Frost Chapel is booked for that day but if we get there early enough we may be able to get a few shots in if the wedding party isn't there yet.

So we will have to do that and then go straight to "The House Of Dreams"

We are booked there for 9:30-12:30.

So lets talk a meeting place. Mt. Berry Mall is right there so I say we all meet in the Sears Parking lot at the mall and then go from there with as few vehicles as possible.

Directions to the Mall can be viewed here:

Directions to Mt. Berry Square Mall

So is everyone ok with meeting at the mall from 8:30 - 9:00 a.m.?

Would anyone like to meet early, for breakfast (brunch, snack, whatever)? I'm not familiar with that area, but it was rally enjoyable to sit & chat before the Atlanta shoot...

James, thanks again for all of your work on this. :)
