“Tree Hugger”Kimya Dawson & Antsy Pants*From the Juno CD, I’m all about it right now! I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in. ~George Washington Carver These were the most charming steps I have encountered thus far in […]

This place was pretty much in the middle of nowhere, out in the sticks of Tennessee……We saw this place on our way to the waterfalls, and afterwards decided to eat there. Otherwise our choices were pretty limited in the small town as country stores would have been our only other options. We were pleasantly surprised […]

Today was absolutely gorgeous, white puffy clouds and all……….which are my favorite by the way. This is a photo taken from “The Snake”, a stretch of road in Shady Valley, TN. Actually, three separate roads make up the snake. A haven for anyone who has a need for speed, or one who is especially fond […]

FINALLY!! I waited until the last minute, but what really counts is that I actually got it done, right?! And it wasn’t because I work better under pressure of anything, what I really am is a procrastinator……..ah the truth comes out. Nearly 2 months ago I found out about this, and had plenty of time […]

VS. I thought it would be of interest to see the same subject from two technical aspects. The top photo was taken with my regular digital camera while the second photo was taken using the TtV technique. As you can see the result you are left with gives two completely different finishes.

Joan Adams Burchell ************************************************* Thoughts about this photo: It was one […]

Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.~Anthony J. D’Angelo ___________________________________________________________________________________ Things you should know: This photo completely contradicts what the weather was actually like today. I could use a little sunshine, what about you? I struggle with getting to bed early, I’m going to take a crack at it […]

Do you have what it takes?! Okay, so, what’s this all about? Maybe you did or didn’t notice that I was completely absent this past Friday………..we woke up to a valley encased in ice…….and this ice was so thick that the very weight of it downed power lines around our neighborhood, not to mention our […]

Taking a photo everyday has gotten to be a force of habit for me, although there were certain days where my daily photo would creep up on me right before bed, which I’ve tried not to do. I’ve created photo opportunities out of things I wouldn’t have normally seen in that way. I am certainly […]
