"Locals" show at Southside Gallery

Just a reminder that the Southside Gallery in Oxford is holding a group show for the month of June. I've got a few prints from my New Orleans series in it. If you get a chance to stop by while you're in Oxford, please do. Tell 'em I sent you!

Here's a little write up from their website.

If you make it by, shoot me an email or give me a call. I haven't seen the show yet and I'm really curious to know how everything looks.

Laurel - Jones County ~commission

Back in January I was asked to travel to south Mississippi to create a few images of the Laurel - Jones County area. The images are going to be used to help decorate the newly renovated offices of a law firm, so I tried to keep that in mind when creating them. The area also has a long history involving the railroad system. I did my best to tie that in as well.

I've selected a handful of images to show above, but if you'd like to see the entire set click HERE. I'll keep you updated as to which of my galleries carry these images as those details are sorted out. You can contact me directly as well for more purchase information.

I hope you enjoy them. Let me know what you think.

Take care,

Finally! Caroline is in a better mood. She let me take a picture of
her with Wonder Twin #1 (Wilkins)

More fun stuff below.

background.

I'm posting these from my iPhone as we watch the kid's play in the
front yard at Cedar Grove. More info is below (I think)

Saturday morning with the family

It's Saturday morning and we're all sitting around watching the kids
play in the yard here at Cedar Grove.

We had a great time at the gallery opening last night, but this
morning is what I was really looking forward to. My sisters live
about three or four hours away, and even though my brother and parents
live just across town it seems like we never get to see each other.
So just sitting around with all the family on a relaxing Saturday
morning is very rare.
I've taken a few pics with my iPhone, but I can only post one at a
time apparently, so I hope this works!

Below left to right. Wilkins (Wonder Twin #1), Beth, Meredith, Wayne,
Jacks (Wonder Twin #2), and Lila. Caroline was cranky and refused to
be in the photo. I'll try sneak a photo later and get it up here.

Thank You Clarion Ledger and Attic Gallery

The Clarion Ledger in Jackson ran a nice little piece about tonight's opening at the Attic Gallery. I was flattered the they chose to use one of my images.

Jamie and I are headed out in about an hour or so to meet lots of family and friends in Vicksburg. It should be a blast. I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone, especially my nieces and nephews!

(Hi to all--Meredith, Caroline, Lila, Wayne, Beth, and the Wonder Twins--Wilkins and Jacks. old y'all I'd talk about you here!)

Intersecting Visions

I am honored to be asked to participate in a group show at The Attic Gallery in Vicksburg, Mississippi. The show consists of several very talented artists from across the southeast and features two photographers, three painters and two potters. The opening reception is this Friday, October 12 from 7-9 PM. We would love to see you if you can make it!

"Spirit" series almost finished!

I'm on my way down to New Orleans to finish my "Spirit" series of black & white images. The idea is to show the "feeling" of New York and New Orleans following the 911 attacks and Hurricane Katrina. I will be following "Stations of the Cross", a Catholic tradition in the city which involves a winding path to several churches and cemetaries.

Here are a few images from the series.
