The Liberty Belle B-17 came back through Atlanta for a weekend of flying. A small setback with a smoking engine was quickly fixed and flights resumed as normal.

No, this is not a juicy internet confession. I was hired to photograph a bunch of corporate head shots, group photos and environmental portraits for Fincher, Denmark & Williams LLC, a law firm in Jonesboro, GA. I was in and out in 3 hours. I’m not sure how I escaped without a lawsuit, but somehow I did.
This photo shoot was a lot of fun because we had many generations on both sides of the family present to welcome little Elise into the world. The portraits were shot in the Barrett’s home where everyone gathered for brunch.
This May I am going to participate in a 35K bike ride to raise money for diabetes research. It is called the Tour de Cure and this leg takes place near Atlanta, Georgia. I am riding with Team Murphy whose captain, Maura, happens to be a diabetic. We are all doing this for somebody we know. For more info or to donate please check out this page.
Masqueman.com has revised its galleries of photographs taken by Andrew Hughes for Masqueman Photography & Design. The photo galleries now showcase my best work and can be browsed here.
After weeks of hair pulling and late nights, I have finally finished the updated version 2.0 of my web site, masqueman.com. This site for Masqueman Photography & Design features samples of my graphic design, web design and photographic work. It now has drop-down menus, better galleries and samples.
Jenny and I took a short working trip to San Francisco, CA. It was a whirlwind trip and we experienced lots of sights and sounds including seeing a hit and run pedestrian accident. I think we walked 20 miles one day. Note to self, things are much further than they appear on a map.
Alcatraz had a strange calmness about it that belies its history. THE Golden Gate bridge is spectacular. The city’s food is excellent, but our internal time clocks messed up our eating schedule. The trolley cars are memorable. China town is a trinket shopper’s delight. We saw a photographic exhibit of Annie Lebowitz that blew us away. I recognized much of the work already. I would like to get back to see the rest of the city that we did not get to this time.
When we landed back in Georgia, our plane hit an air pocket and we dropped like a rock. The passengers let out a collective scream before the plane started flying again. Whew! dodged another bullet…
This is the second collaboration I have had with a very talented artist, Lisa Humphreys. She is a cake genius who makes impossible sculptures from just batter and icing. I built the web site adding animation and interactivity to her layout. Bon apetit!
A new era has begun for me. Last March I finally stopped being stubborn and bought a car to replace my aging, but trustworthy 1994 Acura Integra. I drove that car for over 11 years and we had many trips and adventures together. Not to mention a few tickets. Ah, the memories.
My new car is an improvement on the old one… It is a 2005 Acura RSX Type S. It is very similar to my old car except, much nicer, faster, better built and kids don’t point at and laugh anymore. I can finally get some respect on the streets. This still does not prevent my car from getting dinged in parking lots. I guess some things never change.
My neighbor wanted to buy my old car to play with it. I can visit it any time that I want to, but mysteriously, I never have.
