Shady Days In Gay

Photographs from Brian Mallard's performance in Gay, Georgia.


Recording the performance... with perhaps more than enough tripod for camera?

Brian and Brent sing his songs.

Brian Mallard in an Indiana Jones style photo - judging by the lighting, he is perhaps exploring an old mineshaft.

Taking a ride in the Back Pasture!

It has been a few days since my last post, and some of you may have been wondering what I have been up to. Well, here is an example.

Billie and Brian and the truck in the back pasture.

Brian driving like a maniac through the back pasture... oh wait... it was me that was driving like a maniac, just not in this picture!


The aftermath. (All the hay on the radiator.)

The Bynes

The Bynes... as drawn by Walter Mallard - who did an amazing job!

From left to right that's Brian, Little George, and Ken.

Brent Lindley and Brian Mallard

These are a continuation of photographs from the "Interview Photoshoot" I did with Brent Lindley.

Brent Lindley stands on the step of the step-bed on Brian Mallard's '65 Chevrolet C20.

Brian Mallard starts his truck for Brent - who leans in for a quick photo!

Brian and Brent share a laugh when Brent starts playing a cover-turned-parody of Brian's song "There's No Reason (We Can't Fall in Love)."

Brent Lindley Photoshoot

I interviewed Brent Lindley about his new album release "American Hands" for the April edition of Playgrounds Magazine, and afterwards we did an impromptu photoshoot!

Above: Brent "rehearses before the show" in the hall way.

Above and Below: Brent in the window. Both of the photos have a very lonely mood, in my opinion. Or as Brent put it about the photo below, "I look sad!"

Above: Brian and Brent converse while sitting on the bed of Brian's truck.

A Ride In The '65 Chevy

Brian Mallard’s 1965 Chevrolet C20

This is Brian Mallard’s new old truck. It’s a 1965 Chevrolet C20, and I love it – oh yeah, so does Brian! Being of Byne nature (and Walter Mallard influenced) I had to document the truck on the first day (or rather night) – but not before a quick ride around the back pasture!

Yep. Only one headlight works… for now!

Brian parks the truck for the night.

A pleased Brian starts the truck. There is an alternate version of this photograph in Black and White. This photo was lit only by the truck’s cab light, and is a 1/10th of a second handheld exposure!

The dashboard and steering wheel – which is nearly as big around as one of the truck’s tires!

R. Wright Photography: People

Here is a selection of some of my favorite portraiture shots.

“Milton”

This is my very first portraiture shot, and it was quite accidental! This was not taken with my 20D, but was taken around two years ago with a Canon EOS 5D. Milton here is probably looking at something on the computer, or talking with Brian Mallard. I grabbed up the camera and quickly turned it on Milton, without him knowing it. It is one of my favorite shots!

“Walter and Laura”

I’ve always liked this photo. This was one of my first planned digital portraiture shots, and it came out quite nice, in my opinion. I’ve always loved the color. It was taken down a dirt road in Meriwether County, Georgia. This one was also taken with the Canon EOS 5D.

“Stevie”

This is my first portraiture photograph with my Canon EOS 20D. It was taken at night in Downtown Columbus, where Stevie works as a waitress. The color has always been off due to a close neon light, so I went black and white with this photo. Stevie’s a lovely girl and made a very nice photo here!

“Brian Mallard and Brent Lindley”

This photo is from a photoshoot I did with Brian Mallard and Brent Lindley for the cover of Brian Mallard’s album with Brent. This is one of my favorite shots – and the shot chosen for the album cover.



“Brian Mallard and Robbie Wright”
Brian Mallard looking in the mirror before photoshoot. I just took this photo – just to take it – before Brian and I did a photoshoot. As it turns out, this one became my favorite from the shoot!
