Okay, so it's only taken 10 months for me to find it in myself to blog again. I'm not sure what that says about me, but much has changed since last June, all for the positive.In September, I began renting studio space in downtown Nashville where this photography business now calls home. It's on the third floor of the very historic Village Green Building, less [...]

Today, Bryton turned a year old.He is the son of Linda's cousin, whom we've become foster aunt and uncle to. He was born six weeks premature and was his mom's first successful pregnancy in five. He is our miracle.A Backyardigans-themed party was held at Mill Race Park in Columbus, Indiana, and despite his youth, he seemed to have a real fun time. He received a [...]

Home sweet home.It was another fulfilling day that all of us enjoyed, but it sure feels good to be back home, relaxing on my couch and watching television.Today we took in the the U.S. Air Force Museum located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. It was an amazing sight to see – three, huge hangers filled with military aircraft dating back to the [...]

I'm tired. Really tired. So tired that last night's blog entry was made in between catnaps at the laptop. I've rejuvenated somewhat, but we spent more than six hours in the car today as we departed New York and wound up in Dayton, Ohio. Since leaving the house on Wednesday evening we've traveled a little more than 1,000 miles. Ugh!We are here because we couldn't, [...]

Yet another jam-packed day of vacation is now behind us and we are all about spent.Our morning began casually as we took full advantage of the hotel's free continental breakfast then headed out to Niagara Falls.The temperature outside was a little cooler than it had been the past couple of days as there was quite a bit of cloud cover. Thunderstorms threatened, but we experienced [...]

Wow ... what a day!We awoke fairly early for a vacation day and headed to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, our primary destination for this leg of our trip. We arrived there around 10:30 a.m., 1/2 hour after it opened. Unfortunately, they don't allow photographs to be taken inside the Hall, other than in the lobby.On the way, we were fortunate enough to [...]

At least, we hope it does.After a little bit more than six hours on the road, we've arrived at our vacation destination. Why Cleveland, you ask? Well ...Originally, we anticipated a return trip to Los Angeles, leaving as we did last year on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend and returning one week later. But when Brown County Schools added two days to the end [...]

My newspaper, the Brown County Democrat, fared rather well at the Hoosier State Press Association Foundation 2006 Better Newspaper Contest on Saturday, December 2.We won 19 awards, including five first-place plaques and both the Photo of the Year and Story of the Year for our division.In addition, we received second-place in General Excellence among large, non-daily newspapers in the state.I had my hand in 12 [...]

Welcome! Today the remodeled Web site RodneyMargison.com went live, along with a renewed plan for future endeavors.While I certainly don't have any intention of giving up my day job, I hope to build on the extensive experience I've gained in my career to branch out as a freelancer on the side. This means increasing my wedding and portrait business and, more importantly, taking on additional [...]

Here sit I, tap-tap-tapping out yet another in an inconsistent series of entries on my life, my family, my community.But I’m tired … tired of writing, tired of thinking, tired of caring about anything more than my family and photography.This is my swansong as far as the emphasis of this blog is concerned. I am, first and foremost, a father, then a husband and thirdly [...]
