we took a day trip to tybee island over the thanksgiving break. somehow gub had still never been, even after all of the years we’ve been visiting savannah. a friend described tybee to us as a “down and dirty beach town.” we love that description and it is fitting. we hope to get back there in warmer times…

they just painted a huge mural under the bridge near arizona ave and dekalb ave in kirkwood that is awesome! we wish they would have done a similar mural under the rocky ford rd bridge, ours is not nearly as fun.

UPDATE: this mural is actually part of living walls and is by atlanta artist hense. here is a previous post with another hense mural.

we went and toured the tybee island lighthouse during our recent day trip to the island. with the help of our baby bjorn, clementine was able to climb to the top! i think we were more nervous up there than she was though.

we also had a great view of the old cockspur island lighthouse from the bridge entering tybee. supposedly there are better views from fort pulaski or via boat if interested.

be sure to check out our previous posts on maine lighthouses, southeast lighthouses and coastal lighthouses!

don’t miss the first ever battle of the beards this saturday at the highland inn ballroom! there will be food trucks, live music, local artist vendors, a full bar and lots & lots of facial hair. how can you go wrong?

check out this old school taco bell sign we saw on our way to tybee island! their was an actual taco bell down the road, but it looks like they kept up this sign from an old store, which is awesome.

over the thanksgiving break i filmed some time lapse of a sunset with my new camera. i think it looked pretty good for my first attempt, although i would tweak the settings next time and try and start it earlier. i do like all of the movement of the duck on the pond though!

i recently finished up a dvd project for polyvinyl records called a brief history in moving pictures. the dvd is part of the label’s 15th anniversary celebration and compiles 60 videos from its history, including the entire of montreal video collection.

i was in charge of the technical side of the dvd, including authoring/encoding/menu design/etc. the project ended up taking 2+ years to gather all of the videos and put everything together, but it was well worth the wait. i’ve been a fan of polyvinyl for many years, so it was fun working together on this project.

you can pre-order a brief history in moving pictures for $10, which includes a digital download of all 60 songs as well. i thought that was a cool bonus!
