A search of my devices failed to turn up a photo of Bill Williams… a fact I will always regret. My tribute is to his power to make good things happen when he took off his glasses. #IYKYK East Tennessee Children's Hospital Farewell you Big Ass Star!

A hiker on the #LaurelSnow trail saw a dozen film photographers and joked about our taking his picture. Being the only sociopath in the group, I took him up on it. My confidence in my ability to guess the exposure was misplaced.

A good friend and master of TV news passed away today, depriving the world of a great wit and bucolic gastronome. I had this hot dog today, in memory of the great Ken Schwall! ❤️🌭

I don’t know why this typewriter, used by the Court Reporter 100 years ago in the Scopes Evolution trial, fascinates me. It’s one of many interesting displays at the Trial Museum at the Dayton Courthouse. #DaytonTN #ScopesMonkeyTrial #RheaCountyTN

What do you get when you cross Ansel Adams, Bill Nye the Science Guy and Norm Abrams from This Old House? Mr. @wayne_setser! He’s a virtuoso photographer as well as an excellent educator and entertainer… not to mention the Artist in Residence of Ten Mile, Tennessee. Thank you for an inspiring introduction to large format photography at the Great Film Photo Meetup of the Southeast! #safelightdistrict #TenMileTN

Had a great day with a great bunch of guys! The first annual Great Film Photo Meetup of the Southeast hit the streets of #ChattanoogaTN today… and the Scenic City is still reeling. Podcasters, educators, amateur and professional photographers from several states made it here. Special thanks to @kevinlane @wayne_setser @joepollockphotos and @bsanfordjr for making it happen.

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.
