It's amazing how how little photography one can get done in four days. With 36 hours of driving, 12 hours band business and sleep (sleep?), not much time was left to photograph what I really wanted, much less to do it properly (you shutterbugs know what I mean). I was able to squeeze in some shooting, however. We left home about 9:30AM Thursday and arrived in Savannah at about 1:00PM Friday and from there it was pretty much right over to Murphy's Law to set up for The Sandcarvers first of two shows (photos here). As you can imagine, it was a late night and we didn't get out of bed until around noon the next day, which left us about six hours before we had to prepare for the second show. The rest of the band wanted to do the trolley thing around Savannah, but Raven and I realised that neither of us had ever seen the Atlantic, so that's where we headed. We drove out to Tybee Island. The trip to the island was cool in it's own right, as the route we took was smack dab between the Savannah and Bull Rivers, all of which is marsh land. Once there we discovered bottle brush flowers, more species of butterflyies then I knew existed (none of which would sit still for photos...aargh!) and we wadded in the ocean. On the way back, we stopped to look at baubles and at The Crab Shack, where we ordered the seafood sampler for one...which could've feed three! I swear, a plate half as big as the table, piled high with 30 clams, 30 mud-puppies, 30 shrimp, half a crab, andouille sausage, cottage fries and corn on the cob. Then it was back to Murphy's for the second show (photos here). Another late night, although this time we couldn't sleep in, as we had to get on the road by a reasonable hour. Raven took the first leg of driving to allow me to snap off some shots of the mountains from the car...I wish we had time to stop and expolre. The landscape was simply breath taking, what with all the fall colors kicking in.
