On my travels this month I made a stop at Pogue Creek Canyon State Natural Area. It had been several years since I had visited. It was like seeing an old friend again.

I am back in town for the opening of my show Natural Vision at Ensworth on Friday October 31st.  Then next week I will head out again to continue the chasing the Fall color. In the meantime here is an image from last week.

Last week we received an unbound copy of Treasures Untold from China for our approval.

Here is a SNEAK PEEK at the sample dust jacket, some of the pages in the book and the embossed front cover. We are so excited! We feel like this has exceeded our expectations!

They should arrive here around the 17th of November!!

You can still preorder a copy at: http://www.jorjorianpublishing.com/purchase.html

It has been a busy week this week as we prepared, printed and shipped over 550 prints for various clients. Here is what that looks like.

The Smoky Mountains is one of the most magnificent areas in the country.  Despite The Smoky Mountains’ awe inspiring vistas I seem to be drawn to photograph the intimate landscapes as much as anything. I created this image while hiking and exploring along the edge of a stream late one afternoon

Great article about my photography just appeared in Nashville Arts and Entertainment magazine!  (3 page piece by Paul Kingsbury with my images)!

It is exclusive only to the guests of The Omni Hotel in downtown Nashville, TN and can be purchased in their giftshop.

I enjoy finding places that may be overlooked by most. I spent some time recently in Indiana hiking through ancient stone canyons that were carved by glacial meltwaters during the Pleistocene Epoch. I followed one gorge as it flowed into the next and one stunning view gave way to another. It was an amazing experience.

I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.  ~John Muir

This image was created while exploring the structure of this plant on a hillside  one morning. I take as much joy in these macro explorations as I do in my larger scale nature photographic treks.
