I shoot photos of the Cincinnati Reds’ AA- affiliate, Chattanooga Lookouts for Reds Report, who I have enjoyed free lancing for the last 15 years. No reflection on … Continue reading →

I love the Smokey Mountains of Eastern Tennessee too! More beautiful country and clean air to breathe deeply! My camera took me there for the first time ever in my travels, June 8-9th. Before then, I had always driven by and never stopped at Kodak or nearby Knoxville in my … Continue reading →
