Back on the Wagon

It took a while this summer to get warmed up, but as the weather got more and more unbearable the desire to capture memphis did too. These locations are not on the tour, but perhaps thats what makes them worth considering.

Auto repair is like going to the dentist for most- you go when the pain is just too much and you cringe at the thought. But on the corner of Belvedere and Madison you will find Midtown Auto, where there is less pain and your smile is returned. aptly titled "Greg's Garage" after the owner.

Downtown has so many interesting corners. i thought the vibrance of this work captured downtown well. ...and yes i quoted Judy Garland.

Over a year ago, one of the firemen from our downtown station wanted to know why i hadnt painted the firehouse. To this day i dont know why it took me so long. i like the quietness of their house. but this tranquil scene can erupt with activity with just a phone call.

I've seen fire and i've seen Rain

The little red river is home to some of the finest fly fisherman in the world except my friends and i go. This cabin is where i lick my wounds from a long day on the water.
