Have you been thinking of getting some art for your home or office? Look no further. Here are some pictures from Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and the Smoky Mountains. I have prints made and can also do custom requests.

An Eastern North Carolina landmark is all shined up these days. Red Lyon's store in Greene County, NC has been a favorite subject of backroad photographers for years, and I will admit it needed some attention.

That being said, I'm still partial to the way it looked one afternoon when my buddy, Wat Brown, passed by and captured the scene. His photo is in the comments, below.

Either way, Mother Nature will leave her own mark on this fine old place soon enough. And in the meantime, my hat is off to those who care enough about saving this piece of Carolina roadside history to do the right thing.

🌹 We’re having a photo contest and we want to see what Rose means to you.

On Rose is a celebration of our recent move to North Berkeley, at Rose Street and Shattuck Avenue, and an invitation to get creative with a theme that can carry so much meaning and interpretation.

We have the honor of working with three remarkable local photographers as our jurors: Brandon Ruffin, Becky Jaffe, and Sarah Deragon. And we’re especially stoked to share that Abrams Claghorn Gallery on Solano Avenue will host an exhibition of selected photographs, complete with an opening reception.

Whether you see Rose as a subject, color, symbol, story, place, emotion, or idea, we can’t wait to see what you create. The deadline to enter is August 31. For all the details—and to submit your photographs—visit:
