...the place for creativity
Welcome
   
 

Each autumn my pursuit of fall color begins in early October at highest elevations of the North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia mountains and then I gradually work my way to the valleys.

 

This year, after photographing throughout the tri-state area, I found that my best fall color images were made only three miles from my house.

 

Bays Mountain Park is a 3,550-acre nature preserve located near Kingsport TN in northeast Tennessee. It is owned by the city and is the largest city-owned park in Tennessee. The Park features over 25 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails.

 

The images featured here were made from October 12 through November 1. The autumn colors first appear at lakeside, then the higher elevations above the lake and about two weeks later they appear at the mountain's base. The average park elevation is 2,000 feet and the peaks reach 3,000.

 

I hope you enjoy these images of fall at Bays.

   

Take care,
Jeffrey

"To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them."

I will be giving a talk titled The Camera, Technology and Art at Eastern Tennessee State University's Kingsport Alliance for Continued Learning.  It is scheduled for Thursday November 20th, from 10am until noon. 

 

The first photograph was made in 1826.  The camera, and the processes for making prints, have gone through many changes over the past 189 years.   From wooden boxes and light sensitive paper to mirror-less digital cameras, and from chemical darkrooms to Photoshop, photographers have striven to use these changing technologies to make art.  I will be highlighting the changing technologies and their impact on the art of the photograph.    

 

ETSU at Kingsport Allandale Campus, 1501 University Blvd. Kingsport, Tennessee 37660.  423-392-8000
