Picture of the Week
A picture a week from around town, or around the world!
Way Down We Go
Continuing on with my series of images that don't go together, this week's selection is two images from two different parts of our country. Let me explain both. Above is an image I've been excited to share. This one comes from here in East Tennessee and is inside...
White Trees
One of the reasons I - and others - love infrared photography is the effect it has on green vegetation in strong lighting; it turns it stark white! For this week's Picture of the Week I wanted to share some examples of this. Last year when photographing in Doughton...
Downtown in Infrared
At the end of last year, as I was preparing my Five Favorite Images of 2022 post, I noticed a number of images - mostly black and white - that I had never published. After looking at the images, it occurred to me that in each case I was holding on to the images,...
The Squares of Savannah
Savannah, Georgia was originally designed with 24 town squares, and of those 24, 22 exist today. Interestingly, the 22nd one was only restored to being a square back in 2010 (it had been turned into a parking garage! Read about that here). I mentioned last week that...
River Street
There is a constant debate - in my head anyway - about which is better, Charleston or Savannah. Like many other places, Savannah admittedly took me a little bit of time to "get". One of the things I immediately appreciated, however, was the River Street area. I...
Pond Cypress in Georgia
Back in 2018, my buddy Steve and I went down to the swamps on the Louisiana / Texas line, and it was there that I captured one of my favorite images of that year - frankly one of my favorites of all time. Because of that image, I've been wanting to go back and...
Hazy, Foggy Mornings
So I was looking through my images this morning, thinking about where I wanted to go next with Picture of the Week, and I happened to notice there were a number of pictures I hadn't gotten to yet, but none of them really go together. As an aside, I typically will try...
A Blanket of Fog
When you think of the Great Smoky Mountains, what images come to mind? For me, the first thing that comes to mind are the sweeping vistas, and FOG. The Smokies aren't especially foggy - at least not that I can tell - but when they're foggy, oh man is it magical! On...
The rising of the sun, and a farewell to my Aunt Ann
As I mentioned in my 5 Favorite Photos of 2022 post, last year was a year of loss, and 2023 is continuing in the same manner. On January 2, my sweet aunt Ann went to be with the Lord, and this weekend my family gathered together to celebrate her life. I was always...
Chasing the Autumnal Light
Merry Christmas everyone! For those who are paying attention... today is Monday, not Sunday. I'd love to say I just took the holiday off from doing Picture of the Week - as I in fact did - but in truth I just plain forgot what day it was yesterday! But, better late...
