This was a glass tile wall in a local dessert bar...  I wonder if anyone ever thought these color 
Tiles Could Be Yogurt flavors.  What would your flavor guesses be?

Alpine Meadows

This is a shot at the North Carolina / Tennessee state line looking up into the meadows at Carver's Gap.
Here is the original shot to compare with my saturation version.  Remember... I play with photos to push, stretch, test and learn...  so this doesn't necessarily make the photo better in my opinion, or ruin it.  It is just a different presentation.  I love the artistic freedom and creative variance I control.  
It's a power trip over the viewer.  ;)

poor willie campbell

Roan Mountain, Tennessee 
Allison and I were out on a drive one afternoon near the state line of North Carolina and Tennessee.  We came across a small and old graveyard fence off at the edge of the woods.  It was ordinary in most every way  for these small plots in rural areas.  We saw the same three or four family names repeated on headstones going back 100 years.  There was the one set of stones that perplexed us a good bit.  These were side by side and offered no explanation.  To clarify the dates here...
Sept 17, 1922  -  Dec 24, 1922
Sept 17, 1922  -  Sept 19, 1922
What do you think?

postcards from the ledge

I worked this up for a small postcard project.  There are so many things that can be done creatively with images.  Now that I have some images in a retail setting I have been thinking over how best to market my work.  I'm delivering another set of framed images today.  But my mind wanders through the different ideas about how to use these images.  It is a challenge.  Build it, and they will come...
We will see.

Carver's Gap, NC/TN state line.

These Alpine Meadows make up a portion of the Southern Balds stretch of our Appalachian Mountains.  They were grazed by native buffalo and elk for centuries.  A high country marvel.
