Here’s a new update on Amelia. Today will be her 10th hyperbaric oxygen treatment. She’s now pretty well acclamated to the pressure on her ears. Every “dive” requires ear pressure squeeze just like a scuba diver going to 45 ft ...

Artwork for the new house! I built a nice frame and added another layer. You like?

You may know that I’m a photographer, did you know I’m an artist as well. Here’s our latest creation for our new farmhouse. We are still finishing a lot of details for the new house, decorating with some dramatic artwork as well. I designed the fireplace with art in mind. This painting is 4 ft x 7ft, it’s big! We’ve got a few more pieces in mind for other rooms, so keep checking back to see what we create.

One of my shoots this week was for Leonard’s BBQ! They may be the first BBQ joint in Memphis, their first restaurant opened in 1922, way before my time. I remember in the 1970’s eating in their downtown restaurant on Crump blvd. during COVID i shot a lot of food for hundreds of restaurants trying to scramble to sell food online. I’m kind of a food first responder, essential business. While everyone was hunkered down in quarantine, I was masked up shooting food, that was kind of exciting and scary at the same time.

A beautiful new maternity shoot. As a photographer I have visions of what I want in a photo shoot, sometimes the location just doesn’t have the look that I want, so I have to create the photo and the surroundings. We did the original shoot at Shelby Farms by request of my client. I could not find a location by the lake that I liked, so I shot a “plate” that I could edit later in photoshop. Later that day after the shoot, I went by Herb Parsons lake next to my house and found this table by the lake. Over the years I’ve learned so many techniques in photoshop, but connecting two shots together can be tricky. This one was a lot of finessing, but the end result was simple and beautiful.

Porsche Carerra 911s Cabriolet. This puppy is fast. Looks like a race car, $100k puts one in your garage. I’ve always loved cars, getting to photograph rare exotic sports cars is something I’ve done for many years, I guess I should start a portfolio.

Here's our new backyard! The views from our Modern Farmhouse porch is nice. I'm working on the fire pit, this morning I mortared the fire pit. Next step will be flagstone over the gravel, and steps to the house. Our lake is about 30 feet from the porch. This is gonna be a great house!
