I live in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, on the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I came here to find an alternative, using my camera to pay the bills, with hope that I could add a new meaning to everyday life. The Smokies are a very spiritual place, and I attempt to capture some of that spirit in each of my images.
