The Corner

Published at: 09:01 am - Sunday January 12 2020

Abstract images have always caught my attention, maybe because they evoke a question of mystery and what lies within. On a recent walk to my bus stop after work, I came to this familiar corner with an awesome restaurant space with patio. The restaurant recently closed, unfortunately. I peered inside one of the windows, and while doing so, noticed the photo possibilities presented through its reflections. I tried several concepts and watched carefully for placement of pedestrians, and this one with the close-up gentleman (among other elements) became my favorite.

After a gray, dreary day, clouds broke at dusk to reveal a calmingly colorful sky.

Small Town Daybreak

In addition to time with family, it was great getting out and about during our Columbia, TN holiday visit. I love small towns like Columbia because of their unique charm and slower pace of life. Things are especially quiet just after sunrise.

Hometown Park

Published at: 05:09 pm - Sunday September 22 2019

Throughout my childhood and teen years, I played tons of tennis, baseball and basketball at this hometown park. I spent more time here than I can imagine calculating. While on a recent visit, I had fun checking out the park for the first time in decades. The configuration of fields and courts have changed, but the feel and essence are as if I walked off the court moments ago.
