Eclipse of the full “Moon Pie”.

I inherited my cousins several years ago. Very nice pistol, accurate and built well.

I’ve lived in East Tn all but three years. A lot’s changed in 73 years including the dialects. At one time I could tell if you were from Knoxville, or Chattanooga or upper ET by the dialect but now thanks to the influx of folks from other areas you rarely hear those dialects. You hear it...

I traded a Remington shotgun for mine 3 or 4 years ago. Around here they’re pretty scarce and if you find one it’s usually pretty worn. Consider the price of a new 17, 617 or Colt King Cobra 22. You’ll pay $300 or so for a new one do if you can find a really clean K22 I’d jump all over it. I...

My Webber E210 2 burner has been going strong for 10 years. The only thing I’ve done is replace the heat diffusers / flavor enhancers over the burners. The eventually rusted through but were inexpensive to replace. I bought it late season from Walmart and paid $179. My only complaint is...

I’m not a wildlife photographer but do enjoy taking advantage of an opportunity.

Paddlewheel tug abandon near my house, 1973. The steam engine and steam tractor were owned by an old guy in the adjacent county to where I live. He owned two different engines and 2 steam tractors and had track running around his property. He would fire one of his engine up and take kids on his...

A few years ago I did photographs for a publication on a cancer survivor for one of my hospital clients. I found out he was a pilot I decided to do the shoot at the executive airport he had his plane hangared at. He had an almost new Bonanza and had his own hangar. I noticed he had photos of an...

Norma sells them direct. If you buy $150 worth it’s free shipping and no hasmat. I ordered more a few weeks ago. After the first batch of 38’s I loaded and had 4 failures on first strike I’ve not had another failure. It just takes a little more muscle to seat them and they’re 100% reliable...

Another vote for East Tennessee. I’ve live here 73 years and wouldn’t even think about moving. I’m in a little town just a few miles south of Knoxville and have within 20 miles of where I live currently since I was a child. Everything you need is within a 25 minute drive. We’re a town of 13,000...

Buy Bozo a YooHoo and watch him drink it. Mid 1970’s near the Smoky Mountain National Park.

Cutting tobacco

Hasselblad isn’t the only company. My previous scanner was a Fuji Lanovia Quattro that was $50,000. I used it for several years and Fuji decided to get out of scanners. They fired the two tech that knew and serviced the machines and chucked all the parts inventory in the dumpster. No more...

Unfortunately my windows XP machine finally died. I had it custom built and used it for photo editing initially and later as a print server. I ran a printing software that’s was unique to my business and unfortunately the new versions are completely different and not usable for my work. I’m...

Inside the convenient store of the 1970’s. The store still stands not far from my house but unfortunately has been abandon for many decades. On the left is the retired sheriff and to the right is the owner Hank who had been the county highway commissioner. I spent 55 years as a commercial and...

No longer standing, this was located in the mountains of Cruso NC. Friends and I ran across this while on a road trip while in college. I’m thinking it was about 1969 or 70. I didn’t have a camera with me at the time but went back around 1976 with my 8x10 Deardorff camera and 1900’s Protar VIIa...
