Friday Foto: Shrimp and Grits

As if award-winning photography, design, marketing, web and videography weren't enough, we at h2o are also chefs. From slow-smoked meats, to fire-roasted oysters, to our photo today; award-winning local shrimp and grits.

h2o patriarch Harlan Hambright created this recipe using ingredients entirely from Georgia, a plan no doubt in line with his recent book, The Idiat and The Odd-yssey. Harlan took his recipe to Jekyll Island's Shrimp and Grits Festival in 2011 and won! Last night he demoed his delights at Viola's Market, on St. Simons Island.

Our featured photo for the day, comes from said event. Two young and inspiring chefs look on as Harlan prepares.

Below are two more for your viewing pleasure.

Friday Foto: Celebrity Fashion

Well, local celebrities anyway...

h2o is currently doing the marketing for the local Goodwill's First Annual Celebrity Fundraiser (more to come on this!), and today's photo comes straight from that project. The idea was to photograph prominent members of society, in a high-fashion style, completely decked out in clothing/accessories from our local Goodwill. Not only will the photos themselves promote our Goodwill, they will also be used to market the actual fashion show this March.

Today's photo was shot in very low light at  Bennie's Red Barn with a very shallow depth of field (f1.8!). Small flash was used, bounced off the window towards where Beth is looking, to enhance the feeling of natural window light. The photo was then purposely over-processed to give it that high-fashion feel.

Stay tuned for more on the Goodwill Fashion Show!

Friday Foto: A Transferred Tradition

I've been blogging since 2004 and almost since then have been publishing weekly a 'Friday Foto'. Things got busy and it died down, but now it's coming back... Are you ready?

Today's photo is fresh out of the camera. Shot just this morning, right behind the old Spankies Marshide off of 17. This a is a single image, with only minor lighting adjustments made. I love old docks.

Stay tuned next week for the another addition of the Friday Foto.
