An old Chevy pick-up truck caught many eyes at the September Bham Film Walk, where shooting with film is featured. I wasn't able to bring any of my old film cameras, or film, but made-do with my Canon DSLR. I converted my favorite Walk images to black and white, fitting for the old truck, and the photographer with the medium format Graflex camera. Later on the walk, the abstract lines in a new truck's headlight caught my eye as well.

Lots of cameras were focused on Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark recently, at my photography workshop for photographers from Brentwood and Nashville, TN, and Sandersville, MS. This talented group started with on-site daylight photography, and continued into night time, with time to download and review of their photographs at the Visitors Center auditorium. All were first time visitors to Sloss Furnaces and Birmingham, AL, and said they'd like to come back!

Dolly Parton's departure from our world today has made me completely sad. She was incredibly talented, and a caring person at the same time, who made difference to so many people. I had the good fortune to meet and photograph Dolly Parton, at Dollywood, on assignment for Southern Living magazine, about 2005. Here are my two favorite photos -- one during her Christmas - Holiday concert and then back stage in her rehearsal room. When she told me to sit beside her for a photograph, I was absolutely tongue-tied-shy, and could barely eke out a thank you.

A meteor from 80 million years ago, slamming into Wetumpka, AL, is old news, but you can still see some the geographical effects today. Look at the angles of the boulders in the Coosa River in town, and stop by the Wetumpka Impact Crater Discovery & Visitors Center for a driving map of the crater.
