The Week Ahead

June 8, 2008 by joewatts

A busy week coming up this week.

  • Preparing a special section of the American Institute of Architects website dealing with their big annual event, Design Awards. Lots of photos, lots of projects. Should complete that later this afternoon or in the morning.
  • I’m starting work on Aztec Construction’s website, a new client.
  • I’ve got some work to do for Alzheimer’s of Central Alabama–mainly surrounding their summer fundraiser, Hot Diamonds in the Summer. (you can buy tickets to win a $5000 pair of earrings. Tickets are $25.00 each.)
  • I’m working on finishing up a website I’ve been working on longer than I care to admit for an architect.
  • I have my monthly newsletter for the Sierra Club, Alabama chapter.
  • I’ve got some work to do on my byways project for the state’s scenic byways program.
  • Oh, and I’ve got to make two trips out of town.
    • First to Tuscaloosa for a meeting about tourism and some loop trails that the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) is working on.
    • Then, on Friday, down to Thomaston, Alabama for a board retreat for the Rural Heritage Center to discuss with them website/marketing opportunities along with a general discussion of tourism and why the Black Belt and rural heritage matter so much. (For those of you who don’t know, Thomaston, Alabama is only about 15 miles from Octagon, Alabama where I grew up. The Rural Heritage Center sits right next to the school that most of my sisters attended. One of the board members is the probate judge and another is my old high school English teacher Mrs. Friday–small world!)

Papa and Children

June 7, 2008 by joewatts

My father loved the grandchildren (and me, of course). Below are just some of the many photos of him with grandchildren. Ok, I slipped one of me in as well (I’m the one on the go-cart).

Photos from the Old South

June 3, 2008 by joewatts

Going through old photos from Uncle Edward, I’m amazed at the skill he had to document the many things he did. The photo below is of the old South, or at least that’s how I see it. There’s a small collection of them at the link below: http://www.joewatts.com/oldsouth–trying to avoid putting too many photo slideshows on the page at one time! These didn’t all have dates, but some that did are labeled 1974. Some, I suspect, are much earlier. There are trays and trays of slides to look through. Thanks again to cousin Kathy for scanning all these slides in.

Up and Running: AIA’s New Website and more

June 3, 2008 by joewatts

After a month of testing and review, the AIA Birmingham office’s new website is up and running officially. There are a few holes to plug, but overall, pretty much complete. We finalized the website along with their June 2008 newsletter so members would get the new website along with the most current newsletter all at the same time.

The website turned out just as I had hoped, and, as best I can tell, everyone is very pleased with it.

www.aiabham.org

Also, completed the upload of the Alabama’s Front Porches website, alabamasfrontporches.com, yesterday. It has a good many holes, but is substantially stronger than their previous website and built for expansion. Soon, it will have over 100 great attractions throughout the Black Belt. I’m getting ready for two trips next week–on Wednesday, I’m heading to Tuscaloosa to meet with some Appalachian Regional Commission folks to discuss potential scenic byways in the ARC portion of western Alabama. On Friday, I’m off to meet with the board of the Rural Heritage Center to discuss a possible website, marketing materials and to just give them a general overview of some tourism opportunities that they might be missing. Looking forward to that as well.

Old Family Photos from Uncle Edward

June 1, 2008 by joewatts

Wow. What a great assortment of photos. I’ve gone through these dozens of times, but thought it would be fun to share. I need to learn how to add captions to each of these photos in a simple way–I know how to add them by coding them in, but that’s more work than I’m interested in. Basically, these are photos that My Uncle Edward took during his lifelong love of photography. The focus of this set is family, primarily mine! (Keep an eye out for some of my cool hats!)
