Good luck ‘coordinating your watches’ with this time piece… which I saw in the window of a gallery and gift shop in the village of Portree on the Isle of Skye in the Scottish Highlands – October, 2012.
Does anybody really know what time it is? I found #SalvadorDali’s clock in #Portree on @IsleOSkye #Scotland

Literally, “This Just caught my eye” – at Music City Roots Live from the Loveless Barn in Nashville, Wednesday night June 18, 2014.
I was there to photograph the last show of “Roots” at the Loveless (the show is relocating to The Factory in Franklin next month). I was mostly photographing the audience (album here) when this magnificent masterpiece of art-on-flesh, literally, caught my eye.
Her name is Ashley Kohrs. She and her husband Randy operate the Slack Key Studios here in Nashville. I asked her if she would allow me to make a photo of her back in the foreground with the stage in the background (James Intveld performing). She graciously agreed and I got what is my favorite photo from that evening. Thanks, Ashley and Randy, for the shot.

Yes. Of course. This is EXACTLY what the sky looked like that day in the Scottish Borders.

From The Annals of “The Joy Of Making Music” – John Anderson

It’s been a while since I posted one of these…

…but I was just sending somebody a link to some of this work when I saw this one for the first time in a long time and thought… not bad…. I should show it to somebody…

John Anderson recording "The Turning Of A Field" - the first track of Volume 1 of The 1861 Project.

John Anderson recording “The Turning Of A Field” – the first track of The 1861 Project.

This was from one of the very first recording sessions Thomm Jutz produced for The 1861 Project. Renowned country music recording artist John Anderson (Seminole Wind, Straight Tequila Night) came in and laid down the vocals for “The Turning Of A Field,” and I was there, peering through the glass window in the door of Thomm’s studio with my Nikon to capture the scene.

The @BlueAngels aren’t just fancy-pants, Top Gun fighter jets. @DustyLeeCook pulls some impressive maneuvers with the #C-130 they affectionately call “FatAlbert”

Oak Alley Plantation

In March 2008 – after completing the first draft of my Townsend Brown biography, I took some time off and drove the length of the Natchez Trace, from Nashville to Natchez, Mississippi, and then continued down The Great River Road to New Orleans. Oak Alley is one of the stately antebellum homes still standing along that River Road, so named for the parallel rows of 200+ year old oaks that line the walkway to the entrance.
I saw another photo of Oak Alley on Instagram and decided to post one of mine as well.

Blue Angels Over Smyrna

I dunno, there’s just something about saying “Blue Angels” in the same sentence as “Smyrna” that I find amusing.
Some of the Photogang spend a hot, sunny Sunday standing on the tarmack of the Smyrna Airport shooting all kinds of aerobatics at the Great Tennessee Air Show. More in this Facebook album.
Maybe I should put this stuff on Flickr first…?
