Appalachian Trail, Pigeon Forge Tennessee 2017
Before my 3rd Thru-Hike of the Appalachian Trail I drove from Massachusetts to Georgia searching for hikers and trail angels to shoot portraits of. One day I drove up to New Found Gap on the NC/TN border in the Smokey Mountains and saw a young hiker hobbling down the road. I immediately ran over to help. He is an amputee and his prosthetic leg had broken at the ankle. I was like jump in my car let’s go. We drove into Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and found an Ace Hardware. After a little bit of searching he found some bolts that fit and made the necessary repairs. This was shot in the motel room I got for us that night using natural light.

Thru Hiker I photographed in the Three Eagles Outfitters .This was in their small satellite store across from the Budget Inn in Franklin N.C . This young lady got homesick and went home early to be with her high school sweetheart. The Appalachian trail is not an easy place to be in the spring. A lot of hikers encounter snowstorms and sometimes blizzard conditions, cold, illness and injury. In this case love got in the way of one of the hardest trails in the country. .

A Thru-Hiker on Max Patch North Carolina ( el. 4629’)
In 2017 preceding my 3rd Thru Hike of the entire 2,190 mile Appalachian Trail I set out to make a series of Portraits of Hikers, Trail Angels and other folks along the trail. At first I drove all over the trail from Massachusetts to Georgia and everywhere in between and this eventually just led to me hiking the entire trail again.

Long time ago with (2014, I think)

Alright first post in a month!
This is Pierre & Zoranna. Pierre is from France. Zorana is from Slovakia. What a pair.
Zoranna is about to have her first kiddo any time is the next 30 days. I totally forgot to ask if it was gonna be a girl or a boy.. Sorry!
Anyway, Pierre gave me a call a couple of weeks ago and he wanted to do a shoot in the Public Garden, But today decided near their place in the Bay Village. Either way I knew I wanted a strobe with me. Fortunately it wasn’t sunny. I know right we all want the perfect day, But the perfect day for you might not be the perfect day to shoot with a strobe on the sidewalk. So there we were conjuring up some artificial light and some real love vibes. This stuff makes be think of vibes. I definitely am getting movie poster vibes from it. Thanks Art for all the inspiration and for the artificial ☀️
