If you’ve ever been to Selma, Alabama than you have more than likely crossed or seen Edmund Pettus Bridge. The bridge is famous as the site of the conflict of Bloody Sunday on March 7, 1965, when armed officers attacked peaceful civil rights demonstrators attempting to march to the state capital of Montgomery. It is [...]

Lowndesboro Baptist Church was founded in 1888. I’m not certain this building was constructed then or after, but I do know I am anxious to find the opportunity to see the interior of the building so I can more fully photograph this historical southern church. Perhaps next time. Please take a moment to look over [...]

I have a lot in common with my mother — I talk too much; I’m overly curious and I think cemeteries are cool. There are many other attributes that I share with my mom, but for this post the cemetery thing is most relevant. Oakview Cemetery in Lowndesboro, AL is an older cemetery with many of its headstones and [...]

This small Episcopal Church in Lowndesboro, AL was built in 1857 but other than that there isn’t much more to tell you — at least from what I know. I’ve never seemed to catch the small church open where I can photograph the interior or talk to local members. Since my last visit to the [...]

I’ve yet to do the research on this location, but here are a few shots from the old and abandoned Dallas Compress in Selma, AL. More information and photos to come later…

More than 2500 Carnegie library buildings were built between 1881 and 1919.

Below are several images I’ve shot of the buildings exterior. [...]

Having lived in Montgomery for many years now, most would think I’ve toured Old Alabama Town by now — but until this past week, I’d simple taken a brief glance or an occasional snapshot of the historic downtown attraction. Having now fully toured Old Alabama Town, I can honestly say I recommend everyone taking a look for [...]

One of the many beautiful churches in Montgomery, St. Peter’s Catholic Church is located at the corner of Adams Ave. and S. Lawrence St. and was built in the early 1830′s. If you’d like to view the main sanctuary, the grounds keeper will provide access anytime on M-W-F. For more information about the history of the church, [...]

I’ve been working a lot in Selma recently since agreeing to design the Selma Visitor Guide. While there, I did a shoot at the Selma House Tea Room — they are running a half-page advertisement and will be featured in the signature dish section under desserts… Here are a few of the shots from that [...]

I do a lot of work for the Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce and the Montgomery Visitor Bureau, so it’s only fitting that I have a few shots of  Union Station and the Montgomery Visitor Center. Yesterday, I was asked if I could provide some shots of the Visitor Center and that got me to [...]

Here are a few photos I thought you might enjoy seeing. A small collection of historical shots of Newark, New Jersey from the Shorpy Historical Archive. Having original been raised in New Jersey, I found the shots very interesting. I’d of loved to have found shots specific to my former township, but there were none [...]

Many photographers and designers enjoy looking back in time and studying the roots of their passions. As a photographer and designer I’ve always been interested in historical photography and art alike. Some may think I’m odd, but you’ll never have to ask me twice about taking a Saturday afternoon stroll through an art museum—I’m a [...]
