Reelfoot Library of Music and Sound (number 5)I received the latest volume from Reelfoot* in the mail a while back, but it was lost in the shuffle and I forgot to place it in my stack of "to listen to and look ats". Anyway, I got around to it today, and it is yet another fantastic collection of sounds/visuals from the folks at Reelfoot. It's always a pleasant surprise to open the mail, especially

Selections from the Arts in the Airport exhibit / Nov. 5, 2009.I attended the Arts in the Airport Opening Reception last night at the McGhee Tyson Airport and snapped a couple of shots with my phone (yeah, phone pics aren't that great)...but anyway, if you fly into or out of the Knoxville Airport between now and April 22nd check out the artwork. There are some really great pieces, and I am proud

Doin' the Robot. Knoxville, TN. October, 2009. A coworker and friend asked me to take some shots of her family. I've never tackled that before, so it was a really great opportunity for me to get some practice at more people shots...and it was alot of fun. I tried shooting digitally, and borrowed a camera, but it just didn't work out as well as I'd hoped...as my friend Lawson told me, you do

University of Tennessee Press. 2009.This book is on the boat, and soon to hit stores...and was a real pleasure to work on!

"June Jam". Green Acres Flea Market. September, 2009. I went to Green Acres Flea Market a few weekends ago for brunch and browsing, and as I was walking around I kept seeing this gentleman sitting in front of the building...leaning on a window I was stalking (my window preoccupation is getting weird). Anyway, I realized that this must be his spot, and that a picture of this window needed to

Front Porch - Graves Farm. Sharp's Chapel, TN. Spring 2009.I'm revisiting some shots I took this past spring to try and arrange them into a book featuring the poetry of Mr. Jesse Graves. The shots were taken at his parent's home in Sharp's Chapel, and as I look back over them, it really is dawning on me how Jesse's poetry is seamlessly connected to his home place. At first glance this is a shot

Portland is a beautiful city, and I was lucky enough to be there while all of the flowers and bushes were in bloom. The Rose Parade was going on too, and that was fun to see.
