So I have been getting emails, comments on my Facebook page, and so on saying I need to BLOG MORE!!!!! And they are right I do need to blog more, and believe me i want to. Some times I just don’t have anything interesting to say and I don’t want to subject you to the ramblings of a photographer… But I have been out in Mississippi for the last 5 days and have been getting to shoot a bit here and there. I have got to go to a few places that have been really neat to visit, one was the Ames Plantation, which is a working plantation that the University of Tennessee uses for research. A lot of the old buildings from the 1800′s are still standing and it made for some fun shooting.

Above is what was left of an old tack room, that is just about done for.


These two where of the school house that was on the property. Inside it had a single pot-belly stove to keep the place warm in the winter months and held about 16 desks. It had all kinds of details to shoot so I picked some of my favorites.

Out behind the Blacksmith shop I found a pair of old milling stones with soe of the grooves still intact. According to what I was this one was actually in use for some time in the late 1800′s and then just tossed aside.

At one of the old quarters on the property I found this hand made chair with a woven leather seat.
