power failure
27 Apr 2012
Downtown Nashville. May, 2010.
One of the eerier aspects of the post-flood period in Nashville was wandering around the vast swaths of downtown that were entirely without power. Pictured here is the trail left by a maintenance worker with a headlamp on.

vette city leg wrestling
16 Apr 2012
Leg Wrestling at the Motor City Bar & Grill. April, 2012.
Vette City takes their leg-wrestling very seriously. I thought about putting my name in the bracket but I didn’t wanna make anyone feel bad.

The Shelby Street Bridge, originally called the Sparkman Street Bridge, was built in 1909. Behind it stands the much newer Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge (also known as the “Gateway” bridge).

Back entrance, Ryman Auditorium. April, 2012.
Lots of talent has flowed up this staircase. Note my willpower in not titling this “STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN”, or “IF WALLS COULD TALK”, or something similar. I am so restrained.

The now-completed Pinnacle tower, Tootsie’s world-famous orchid lounge, and the world-famous air-conditioning ducts out back.

Pinnacle Tower under construction in Nashville. November, 2008.
A test shot with an old lomo that I ended up liking — from back in the days when I still suffered the expense of playing with film.
cape san blas night
30 Mar 2012
Cape San Blas, Florida. August, 2009
This is one of the few photos I’ve taken where technology really annoyed me as a limitation. I thought the result looked great, but unfortunately it was riddled with noise — the unfortunate side-effect of the smaller sensor on the Canon 20D, the heat, and the longer exposure. Ah, well.
season opener
28 Mar 2012
Municipal Auditorium, March 24, 2012.
A few veterans of the Nashville Rollergirls look on before the season opener bout.
US customs house

U.S. Customs House, Nashville, TN.
Playing with my industar pancake. It’s actually passably sharp at f/8 — a ringing endorsement for a lens if ever there was one. But hey, it’s small!
