Wow, it's been a while.
Anyway, just a quick post to mention a new/old project. I semi-started this a couple of years ago, and it kept being put on the backburner for various reasons. The draw is undeniable though, and now is a good time to work. I have begun the scanning/research phase, and finally scanning some pages has gotten me really excited, and very happy to get this project moving cmphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06898679225456405069noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762338342941652364.post-28949972921563512902012-08-07T14:12:00.004-04:002012-08-07T14:12:30.031-04:00Until later ...
Johnson City, TN | Spring 2012.
Looks like this blog-thing is becoming pretty obsolete, at least for my purposes. Until the next posting I will leave you with this, from my trip up to Bristol / Johnson City this past spring. It was a bizarre trip. My dog Ned and I were going camping, but we wound up picking up a stranded drummer on the side of the road with a broken down Toyota van (a cmphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06898679225456405069noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762338342941652364.post-42079234127608107782012-07-17T12:33:00.000-04:002012-07-17T12:33:05.588-04:00

I haven't picked up a camera in a good while, and it's bumming me out. I was reminded this week of the Louisville (River) project my friend Lawson and I started a few years ago (sheesh). I never felt like I made enough images on that trip, and I have been looking for the chance to pick up some of my slack, so we can finish the deal.

I think I've mentioned it here before, but for some reason when I get thoughtful, sad, or need to vent, my first instinct (one of them) is to shoot basketball. I have a "go-to" spot that is usually quiet and free for a few hours of shooting. This weekend it was not, so I went on the hunt for something relatively close to my house.
