Took my first field trip with the talented photographers of the Southern Appalachian Nature Photographers at Douglas Dam. The most important thing I learned about photographing birds is that I have a lot to learn! #SANP #DouglasDam

Street photos are candids taken on the street. Street portraits are posed pics. I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone and folks if I can take their portraits. So far everyone has said yes. #KnoxvilleTN, #MarketSquare

Thank you Steve Jobs for putting a quality camera in my pocket! Laverne was in the right light striking the right pose for about 10 seconds. She would not have waited for me to find a “real” camera. #iPhone16Pro

Had a great time Saturday at a Street Photography class organized by Knoxville Photography Group. #MarketSquare is a pretty good place for candids and street portraits… especially when the leaves look like this!

At last month’s @ujcpodcast photowalk at #OldStoneFort State Archeological Park I got this picture of @wayne_setser at work… then I tripped over a root and fell on my fool ass! Luckily I and my #Mamiya645 survived with minor damage.

Meet Larry

Hi. I have been taking photos for fun or profit for half a century. I'm hoping to get it right, soon. Until then, be gentle.

I didn't realize I was a collector until the 2020 pandemic trapped me in my house with all my cameras. The project to catalog and organize my collection began then. It's not going well.
