Just completed (well, last month) a website that has been in the works for over a year. CEDS (the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy) is a periodic statewide project done by the Regional Planning Commissions around Alabama. They asked me to help them put it on the web.
I actually completed this website months ago, but was waiting on the client to provide a few final images. Decided to go ahead and set it live recently.

Wrapped up a website for the Perry County Chamber of Commerce several months ago and just tweaked it a little more to add some additional movement to the front page. They have a huge selection of audio files of Perry County natives telling stories about many of the historic structures found in Perry County. I've included the audio files along with maps and gps coordinates to each site. Makes me want to head to Perry County! (For those who don't know, Perry County is in Southwest Alabama just a bit over an hour from Birmingham. The largest city--and home to some excellent antique shopping--is Marion, Alabama.)
Great trip to East Alabama a couple of weeks ago. Part of a project I'm working on with the University of Alabama's Center for Economic Development. We're developing a tourism plan for a five county region in East Alabama. This was taken near Sylacauga at the Kymulga Mill and covered bridge. Wish I could have made it back for the Grits Festival! Only in the South!
Have been working on a number of projects over the last couple of months. From East Alabama Tourism, several web projects with my friends at DavisDenny and a new website for the Perry County Chamber of Commerce to a newsletter and an invitation to the Garden Art Party for Alzheimer's of Central Alabama (my favorite charity event of the year AND a great place to get some awesome deals on art), I've been busy, busy....
The Perry County website has some fun mapping features and audio. Visit it to learn about the many tourist attractions--loads of historical homes, two historic colleges, black heritage and so much more--complete with pictures, area natives providing an oral history and GPS coordinates so you can actually visit the sites (over 50 sites!).

One of my favorite events each year! Lots of fun, great art, great food and great folks! Just got done putting the "Save the Date" card together and dropping it to the printer.
I have been working on a statewide birding project for the past couple of months and we happened to schedule a meeting at the Five Rivers Resource Center on February 18. Lucky for us, it turned out to be the nicest weekend in months! Ann and I went down Thursday and stayed until Sunday. The meeting was a success, and we had a great time! Stayed at the Grand Hotel outside Fairhope and enjoyed several meals in Fairhope, along with a meal along the Causeway.
Here's an early morning shot from the pier at the Grand Hotel. The fog was beautiful!

Both of these still need some work, but I'm pretty pleased overall with each of them.
www.bradmorton.com Ann and I have admired Brad's sculptures for years. Really cool metalwork!
The other site is for the University of Alabama Center for Economic Development. It has lots more room to grow, but they needed a framework to grow with.
Wrapped up a project for Brierfield Ironworks Historical State Park several months ago, but failed to mention it here. I really am enjoying working with WordPress. Just wrapped up several newsletters today as well; one for an insurance company and another for AIA Birmingham (both web-based). Now I've got to finish up a website for an engineering firm, The University Center for Economic Development at UA and several other projects.... Lots to do. At least I don't have to venture outside in this unbearable heat!
Still a work in progress, but have been adding attractions from around a lot of counties in the Black Belt over the last two weeks to the site. Take a look at the new tourism website: www.alabamasfrontporches.org
Just finished putting together a new website for the Alabama Byways Program. It will continue to grow as more information is added, but here's a start. Designed in Wordpress!

I've been working with the State RC&D Program since 2000 or so. This year, we've produced a similar annual report to previous years but decided to print the cover in color.
Finished this invitation several weeks ago, but thought I'd go ahead and post it on the blog today anyway. The artwork is really pretty amazing--Alzheimer's patients created it in a collaborative environment. I have been lucky enough to go and take photos of some of these folks working on art here in Birmingham and it has been a wonderful experience.
This is part of a larger project I've been working on with several folks. The larger project takes place in the Lower Cahaba watershed (www.lowercahaba.com). I'm actually in the process of changing the website over to a drupal based website (but that's not public yet). Here's the brochure:
