I just got back from two weeks in the Smokies and two wonderful workshops the last with Jack Graham and our friend Chris Klahpeke.  Never laughed so hard and had so much fun.  I never cease to be amazed at how wonderful the people are that God places in my life!!!  the internet service down in Townsend is pretty awful so I couldn’t get a blog post out and was pretty exhausted when I got home Sunday.  So sorry for being AWOL!  I continue to really enjoy the Fuji X-PRO 2 and am amazed at how nice the files are coming out of it.  Makes all future hopes for the X System all the more exciting!  I will share some of my favorite images of the two weeks, and don;t be surprised that a number are monochrome, the new ACROS film simulation is stunning, all these images are straight out of the camera jpegs!!!

 

 

I hope something here inspires you or makes you want to get out and do some shooting!  I’m blessed! Pray you are too!

 

Blessings in Him,

Spring in the Smokies is one of the great natural history locations and seasons in America.  I’ve had the honor of spending time with 8 great photographers this week as we have explored this great park!  The spring greens are coming on strong and the dogwood are popping out plus hundred of wildflowers are peaking out from their long winter nap!  Her are my favorite images from the first two days of the workshop!

 

 

 

and finally….. a great burger joint!!!
