The Face of COVID

April 17, 2021

Regardless of what your political beliefs are. Whether you believe in COVID or not. Whether you believe in wearing a mask or not. It doesn't matter. Nobody can deny that the year 2020 will go down in history as one of the most bizarre years ever! And it will forever be symbolized by the mask. The mask became an icon of the year 2020. So, I wanted to document "the year of the mask" for some of the clients that I work for. Even with that, I use the word "work" loosely because COVID put me completely out of business in only eight days during March. Luckily, a few of my main clients trickled back.

I called this project "The Faces of COVID." I kept the ground rules pretty simple with black and white on a black background. I used all available light with East Kentucky Power, but then I set up a studio for Baptist Health Richmond. East Kentucky Power will feature it in their upcoming annual report and Baptist Health printed 16x20 images and displayed them at their regional COVID vaccination center, and have plans to eventually make it a permanent display inside the hospital. This will make three permanent displays for me inside Baptist Richmond. They already have my 2009 Faces of Madison County photo essay hanging near the emergency room, and I have several Kentucky scenic photos hanging throughout the hospital as well.

To see the compete collection, please visit my portfolio.

Speed Graphic with Corn

April 13, 2021

Recently, I got to hang out with and eat lunch with The Mark Cornelison! Really, I just wanted it for his Speed Graphic! Other than looking fat as mud, I loved the photos that he did of me with my Dad's 2003 Convertible Mustang GT. I've kept it true to him after he died, even down to the CD's in the disc changer. He loved the Forest Gump Soundtrack, Jimmy Buffet, and CCR! A few days before he died we took his cross necklace off of him and it now hangs from the rearview mirror.

A Scary Kind of Fun

March 07, 2021

Is it possible to be scared and have fun at the same time? I did last weekend when I did photos with the Powell County Search and Rescue Team at Natural Bridge State Park. They lowered me over the side of a cliff for a good angle. My heart was racing the whole time, but it was a lot of fun!

The Ice Storm of 2021

March 01, 2021

I didn't venture out too much, other than the trip to Salyersville with East Kentucky Power, and a trip to check on my house and farm in Olive Hill. I stopped off and talked to my Dad while I was there and he said they hadn't had any power outages in Heaven and that the Wifi there was out of this world! Here a few Hipstamatics.
