The downtown area of Johnson City, TN is such a nice little area to check out. I’ve found some interesting little antique shops, a sports card shop that reminded me of the ones when I was a kid and some amazing food. #johnsoncity #tennessee #exploretennessee #photography

I don’t photograph birds often, because honestly I just don’t have the equipment to do it justice, but I was out shooting and caught this heron in flight. #blueheron #greatblueheron #nature #wildlife #birdphotography #photography

A couple of weeks ago I took my Mamiya 645 out wandering around Nashville for a few minutes. Parking has gotten damn expensive so I just hit a few spots. I loved this road sign for Printers Alley. I believe this was from a Fuji Acros II roll.

I love vintage gas stations, and seeing this one restored recently has been great! Brings a smile every time I drive by.

Last week I was up near Nashville, TN and my wife sent me a text after she saw this old bowling sign in Madison. Naturally I love old worn out signs, so I had to go take a photo.
