" Cityscapes "


The beauty of the cityscape. Just a typical morning in Atlanta, what a shame it looks like this in places. It is not really this bad only in certain areas, as in all cities I guess. All in all it made for a nice statement at the time. Hope you enjoy!!

" Spiderwort "




Spiderwort from the top of Kennesaw Mtn. This a fairly common wildflower which blooms in spring. Beautiful color and patterns although not real easy to photograph. Beware of chiggers, as I got covered on this day. Hope you enjoy!!

" Caboose "


The old caboose in Chatsworth, GA. This is in front of the old depot-museum in downtown Chatsworth, GA. The first was taken through the window of the car and the second was after we were able to gain entry. both were really unique in the light I had to work with. The second is an HDR. Hope you enjoy!!

" The Diner "


This diner is located between Blue Ridge and McCaysville GA. I got up early one morning and went to shoot this exclusively and of course spent 4 hours around the area. The colors and the shine was what brought me here.
I hope to be a little more dedicated to posting as my showing schedule is hopefully or not so hopefully slowing down. Hope you enjoy!!

" Draketown "







Just some quick shots I did around the old town of Draketown, GA a while back. This used to be a fairly bustling town with a hotel and quite a few businesses in the old days. Now just quiet and peaceful with not a lot going on. A few vacant houses and businesses for me to explore. Hope you enjoy!!

" Newry Mill "




These images are from the Newry Mill in South Carolina. I photographed here back in June when I went to visit my friend Mike. I have been in S.C. a couple of times to photograph, but this is the first time at the mill. What a wonderful place to shoot. Extremely low light and tons of peeling paint. I was in heaven. Hope you enjoy!!

" Pink "


Such a pretty color for a liquor store. I photographed this store a while back, I noticed it one day while driving around. Went back a few weeks later. It was the color that drew my eye. I thought this was a strange color for a liquor store, but great color for my camera. Hope you enjoy!!

" I'm Back "

I have been extremely busy and have neglected the blog for a couple weeks now, but I am going to try to get back in the habit of posting daily. I am teaching a class at Booth Western Art Museum and have about 3 shows I am working on at present. Please forgive me and I will try to do better. Thanks for the patience.
