Thank you to everyone who dropped by my exhibit at the Montgomery Museum of Fine Art two weeks ago. They had over 600 visitors, and I met a lot of great people.  It was a lot of fun, and best of all my son joined me for the event.

I'm sorry I haven't blogged lately. I haven't written or taken a single photo, either. Things got nuts. A huge yard project (which involved a contractor) kicked things off, and demanding a great deal of my time. Then, over the Thanksgiving weekend I got the stupid impulse to overhaul the garage. "If I'm already cleaning it, why don't I just repaint it while I'm here," I said to myself. That turned into replacing the lighting fixtures, which is now morphing into possibly sealing the floor and building cabinets.

Now, somehow, December got here, the holiday season is in full swing, and time is slipping away. I think many of you understand exactly what I'm talking about. The calendar is filling in with events with friends and family.  It's a good thing, but leaving little time for photography and writing. Or blogging. 

Its time to go to work, but I'll try to get my next in-depth blog post finished and posted next week. Keep checking back for upcoming events and signings. 

See ya next time. 

I want to thank everyone who came out to the Piney Woods Art Festival in Enterprise, Alabama this weekend, especially those who dropped by my booth. The positive response to "Abandoned Wiregrass," as well as my prints and framed art, was overwhelming. I would especially like to thank the Coffee County Arts Alliance for hosting the event and allowing me to attend. Piney Woods has been a vital part of the community fabric in Enterprise for as long as I can remember. This was my first year participating, and I will be sure to return. 

My photo "Winter Chairs" was honored with Best In Show. This kinda blows me away, because there were some SERIOUSLY talented artists at the event. I am honored and grateful. 

It was great to see many friends drop by the booth, including old friends from college I have not seen in many years. I received an unexpected surprise when, in the festival's closing hour,  I heard a voice say "That's my shack!"  Sure enough, it was the gentleman who owns the cabin featured on the cover of Abandoned Wiregrass.  I had not seen Mr. Waters since the day I took that image. We had a great time catching up and talking about the shack's history, and other places around the local area that might be good candidates for future photos. 

I'm not sure when or where my next event will be, as the local art festival scene slows down in the summer. I'll be taking the  opportunity to keep writing my fiction novels, as well as riding the roads (on my motorcycle, of course!) looking for my next photograph.

Keep checking back for updates!

The Rudd Art Center/Dowling Museum in downtown Ozark, Alabama kicked off  their annual All in Black and White Exhibit this weekend. Artists from across the Wiregrass participated, in all media to include photography. It was an honor not only to be allowed to participate, but to have two of my images recognized.  

I have three images in the exhibit, and two images were recognized:  "Winter Chairs" and "Ride." The exhibit runs through March 5th. Please support local art and artists.
