Trip to St George Island over New Years

I got to make another trip to St George Island, FL over the holidays. I always enjoy the trip and get to see and catch up with a large number of friends on SGI. Here are a few photos from this visit.

All that is left of trees that have been conquered by the sea.

An old sign

The window of the front of the building now offers a look to the water, due to the back being washed away after a flooding of the bay from a hurricane.

Evidence that Franklin County has the worst school system in the state, the town Apalachicola is spelled wrong on the back of this boat.

Highlights from Million Count

Here are links to a few of the big moments from MillionCount.com I had posted previously about my buddy who was counting from 1 to 1 million and his entire life during that time was filmed as it happened and put out live on the internet, and not just the counting part, but everything that happened basically 24 hours a day. Well here are a few highlight clips that are on youtube.

Muscovy Ducks

I was wondering around near the campus of LSU looking for something different to photograph and happened upon a group of ducks just wandering around near the lake. They actually approached me so they were not scared of people at all, and I am sure are regularly feed by people. I took took this random shot and moved on.

My buddy and the Million Count

Well my college friend Jeremy Harper, who is somewhat infamous for his crazy, fun filled stunts, has decided to take on a huge challenge. First, a little background info, in college Jeremy rode on the Journey of Hope raising funds and awareness for Push America, an nonprofit organization that raises money and awareness for those with disabilities. Well recently a challenge was developed by that organization for individuals to do various activities that would physically challenge them. Most people were doing a 10k run, or a bike ride, or some other endurance oriented challenge, well Harper being the type of guy who usually thinks outside the box, decided he would come up with something a little more unique. With the help of Eric and Rob, two of my former roommates, and close friends of Jeremy's, came up with the idea of locking Jeremy in his apartment (estimated to take about 3 months), while he counted by 1 to 1 million, and to broadcast this to the world via the internet from 4 video cameras setup in his apartment to capture every second. The website is millioncount.com and he started the count on June 18, 2007.

Well I stopped by to visit him today and took a couple photos of both him and his dog, Skillet.
