Much more work on the website to make it better for the mobile platform and search engines. Hope you like it as much as we do. Enjoy!!!
To celebrate Cal's mom, Liz Brooks, birthday, we went on a journey to the Grand Canyon. Cal and Virginia Ann along with Mary Holman and Jay Cross went on the trip with mom. We traveled to Williams and then took the train to the Grand Canyon a new experience and very fun. We stayed at El Tovar at the South Rim, got some great pictures while we were there. It was so cool to stay right at the edge of the Grand Canyon. Then we traveled to Winslow and stayed a night at mom's favorite hotel, La Posada.
Some good pictures from sunset and sunrise during our stay. For sunrise Cal hiked 2 miles to Yavapai Point.
Before we left Arizona for North Carolina, Cal was asked to say a few words to the incoming class for West Point, The class of 2029 will graduate 50 years from Cal's graduation in 1979 as part of the 50 year affiliation Cal gave a short talk about West Point.
Another 4th of July set of unique pictures of fireworks. Cal has such fun creating these abstract versions of the colorful explosions.
Little Riley had her 12th birthday in Highlands. A few pictures of her in our backyard. We stopped on our walk at the pet store and the Highlands bench, Riley and Cal are growing very gray.
During the middle of summer Cal went on a photography workshop to Alaska to photograph Grizzly Bears. It was a lot of fun and great photo opportunities. Cal even spent a night camping out on the Alaska tundra surrounded by an electric fence.
Near the middle of September Cal was asked to be a photographer for the Film Festival of Highlands. Photographing people is not a strong suit for Cal. He is much better at photographing nature, as in the grizzly bears!! One star, who was great to work with, was Mary Badham who played the little girl Scout in 'To Kill a Mockingbird' with Gregory Peck.
You can follow Cal on Instagram for a stream of pictures - the only thing not posted there are personal pictures and extensive photo journals of our adventures. To follow on Instagram use this link Cal Holman.
Be sure to check out Cal's photography site Cal Holman Photography. Some of his favorites with stories on how Cal came on the composition and photography techniques used.
Please enjoy the site - and leave a comment for Cal and Virginia Ann in the Guest Book.
This is the family site of Cal and Virginia Ann Holman. Cal built the first site in 2001 and has steadily built the site you are browsing. Cal has used several technologies - all around Java open source projects. Now the site is hosted on AWS so much of the operational issue of hosting from home are gone.
There are several photos of Cal and Virginia Ann Holman - some fun is to check the hairstyles for Virginia Ann over the years or watch the puppies over the years. Take your time and browse - if you have an idea or like something let Cal and Virginia Ann know via the Guest Book.
If you would like an update periodically you can sign up for a quarterly newsletter from the site in the Guest Book. giving you updates on Cal and Virginia Ann Holman - new photos, new site options, and updates on the family.
