Bridging the Gap (Memphis, TN)
These days, it’s hard for me to consider a photo shoot complete without indulging my lines, light, and shadow obsession. Sometimes that requires an impractical amount of intentional wandering, at just the right time of day to try to catch the sun falling in just the right direction behind bizarre ordinary objects (benches are myContinueContinue reading “Bridging the Gap (Memphis, TN)”
Earnestine and Hazel’s (Memphis, TN)
Storefront – photo provided by Danger One of my unofficial “rules” that I try to follow when preparing for a trip is pick the brains of people whose taste I admire, who have been to said location, and ask them where I should go that maybe wouldn’t show up in your typical Things to DoContinueContinue reading “Earnestine and Hazel’s (Memphis, TN)”
Braving Beale Street (Memphis, TN)
After driving through several states over the prior few days, we were ready to hunker down in Memphis for a day or two. Our first stop, of course, was Beale Street. I can’t say I recommend going to Beale Street during the 4th of July (Holy Sardine Packing Batman!), but I am glad that IContinueContinue reading “Braving Beale Street (Memphis, TN)”
Erubisu (Graceland – Memphis, TN)

Streaky Streets (Clarksdale, MS)
Clarksdale at night – photo provided by author When I took this photo, I didn’t have much of a clue about what I was doing. I’ve never taken a class in photography. I’ve always been drawn to it — I enjoy being behind the lens much more than being in front of it — butContinueContinue reading “Streaky Streets (Clarksdale, MS)”
Small Town Blues (Clarksdale, MS)
In all my travels, I haven’t spent a ton of time investigating small towns. Growing up, my family trips consisted of resorts and cruises, metropolitan areas and islands. We focused on major tourist spots, and amenities that were family-friendly. I should mention, I completely understand this approach, now that I have to juggle my wanderlustContinueContinue reading “Small Town Blues (Clarksdale, MS)”
