Local Farm Workers

This is an old antique trac­tor that sits on dis­play in a neighbor’s field. The back­ground of the orig­i­nal set­ting was not hor­ri­ble, but nei­ther was it very inter­est­ing. So I start plun­der­ing through my col­lec­tion for some back­ground images that needed a lit­tle some­thing extra to make THEM more inter­est­ing. An old shot of [...]

Cold Seat

It’s snow­ing in South Car­olina! I haven’t felt well this week­end but HAD to take the cam­era out to seek out a shot or two of this uncom­mon south­ern rar­ity before it dis­ap­pears. Shoot­ing this out­house dur­ing the snow gave me pause to be eter­nally grate­ful for mod­ern indoor plumbing!

Roadside Farmstead

I got this shot while on one of my photo expe­di­tions (affec­tion­ately called ‘photo hunts’) with my friend, Karen Osborne. We had just left a tour of the Poin­sette Bridge and took a wrong turn, but a wrong turn with some fan­tas­tic coun­try views. We even­tu­ally reluc­tantly turned back for fear we might end up [...]

Overlook on Skyline Drive

I have a thing for old antique trucks. I dis­cov­ered this par­tic­u­lar trea­sure in the spring of 2009 on a trip from South Car­olina to Indi­ana with a good friend. We had stopped at a Quick Mart in North Car­olina for a fill-up, a bath­room stop and some travel snacks and I spot­ted this truck [...]

Saddle on Cudd Drive

I was attend­ing a rodeo at the C-C ranch in my com­mu­nity. The C-C is a work­ing cat­tle ranch run by a work­ing cow­boy, Jack Cudd, who lives here with his beloved Wilma…a remark­able lady whom I most hon­ored to call my friend. Wilma’s yard is an ever-changing pic­ture of down-home rural land­scap­ing. After taking [...]

Evening Chores

My grand­daugh­ter, Keyana, brings one of my horses, Odessa, in from the pas­ture for the evening. At the time, my pas­ture was fenced off from the barn­yard. We had a much lusher stand of grass then than now and my skinny mini mare, Odessa, was allowed more time on the grass than my fat appy [...]

Campbell’s Covered Bridge

CLICK HERE TO BUY PRINTS! Campbell’s Cov­ered Bridge is located in a small com­mu­nity in the South Car­olina foothills known as Gowensville (also known by locals as ‘Dark Cor­ner’). A friend (Karen Osborne) and I had explored it on one of our ‘photo hunts’ ear­lier that sum­mer and I wanted to see it with autumn [...]

Echo Valley Relic

I’ve been want­ing to work on this piece ever since I shot it but haven’t been able to find the spare time to do so. I cap­tured this old antique car on a recent excur­sion to the moun­tains with friends to see some autumn color. We had actu­ally stopped for a car acci­dent that we [...]
