Popcorn Sutton... Moonshiner Extraordinaire...

Ok, the year is 2009. So I must ask my fellow photogs out there, how often do you have the opportunity to photograph living legends in the 'moonshine' business? Recently I had the opportunity to cover the famous Popcorn Sutton's sentencing at the US Federal Courthouse in Greeneville, TN. This photo was taken in front of the courthouse minutes after he received an 18 month sentence on alcohol and firearms violations, his fifth conviction I'm told. He was allowed to return home under house arrest until the court gives him a date that he must report to prison in Kentucky.

Bears vs. Mustangs... Bear Prevail!

Pisgah High School located in Canton, NC, home of the Pisgah Lady Black Bears basketball team. I must say, this past friday night's game was by far one of the most physical games I have seen in the last two seasons.
I was very happy to capture this shot during the match-up. Technically a challenging shoot. Simply because I refuse to use a flash that can distract these high school players during the game. Shot w/ Nikon D300 Nikkor 50mm 1.8

She Sleeps...

One morning I walked in to check on my sleeping four-year-old and saw that her little feet were uncovered. Seems like yesterday both would fit in the palm of my hand...

Taken during a resent test shoot. I used the timer feature to get a feel for a new shoot location. followed by a slight 'twist' in photoshop. Guess I'll call this my self portrait. Thnx, DC

On the way to Tennessee, somewhere in the Smoky Mtns. There sat an old wagon wheel.

My 100th post...

Welcome to my 100th post. As I make this post I can merely say that life is in a constant state of change. Full of choices and experiences. Some, based on the other. DC

Real talent...

One of my favorite photo shoots is covering high school basketball. This type of photography really keeps you on your toes. Your timing has to be near perfect to capture the intensity and drive of these high school students. This is a poster that I designed for RJ's mother to commemorate RJ's 2007-08 season.

If you might be interested in having a collage or poster designed for you please email me.

Old Hinge

Obviously thins hing has quite a few miles on it. Just something different. Enjoy. DC

Papaw's space...

A place in Papaws workshop.

Afternoon Commute

For me, always a thrill. The process of arriving at the station, buying the ticket, getting on the train and enjoying the ride. For others... Just another ride to work.

Who is that guy?

In the world of night photography, there are times you just can't resist a self portrait. This was mine. Thanks, DC

Old School

Miles of memories...

...and they sell what?

During a walk around downtown Lubbock, TX I stumbled upon this little place... They were closed, and I still wonder...

A Childs Dream...

Caught up to this guy in front of an antique store. I didn't ask for his story, though I'm sure that it was a colorful one. DC

Choices

Funny thing, I love their coffee. Though I never noticed the 'Choices'!

From WCU...

During a shoot at Western Carolina University two weeks ago I had the opportunity to get a few good shots of these CAT guys doing what they do best. The top photo #3 freshman Antoine Childs and below #4 Freshman Keaton Cole. Awesome game guys! Tennessee Weslean 67 WCU 110
