"Sparks Lane 1"
Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountains N.P., 2015Cade's Cove is one of my favorite places to be, all alone, before the Sun comes up. It's almost surreal, so peaceful and quiet, surrounded by the Great Smoky Mountains and watching them come into view as the Sun rises and the fog lifts. This morning, it was just me and the lone driver coming up the lane where I was standing. -

"Mother Church"
Nashville, 2016
Nashville's Ryman Auditorium is known as the Mother Church of Country Music. And, indeed, it began as a church, built by a riverboat captain who was converted to religion by an evangelist.

"Crescent City Sanctuary"
French Quarter, New Orleans, LA 2015Facing Jackson Square and flanked by the historic Cabildo on one side and the equally historic Presbytere on the other, St. Louis Cathedral is among the tallest and most imposing structures in the French Quarter. As the mother church of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, St. Louis Cathedral has a long and interesting history. It is the oldest continuously active Roman Catholic Cathedral in the United States, originally built in 1727 and dedicated to King Louis IX of France, "The Crusading King" who was later canonized by the Church. The original St. Louis Cathedral burned during the great fire of 1794 and was rebuilt. The present structure was completed in the 1850s. -

"Respite in the Quarter"
French Quarter, New Orleans, LA 2015As I walked through the French Quarter early one morning, I came across this weary musician taking a moment to rest after a long night of playing music. I longed to hear his story but couldn't bring myself to wake him. -

"Forgotten Journey"
Utah 2015
I was driving along the backroads of Utah, between Monument Valley and Moab, when I spotted an old, abandoned bus — an artifact of a journey long since ended — sitting far off the road in the middle of a field. I took the first opportunity to turn around and spent some time with this image. I fondly call these moments "turnaround shots."
