Athens GA and Mountains on the way to Knoxville

Michael Stipe of R.E.M. was hanging out at the venue we played at in Athens, GA and I happened to remember we had just bought a cassette tape of their album "Murmur". After mustering the courage to talk to him I got him to sign it and gave him a complimentary t-shirt. Immediately after signing he said "I spelled my name wrong." which was true.

The route to Knoxville was a welcomed break from the interstate and we were able to stop and enjoy some countryside.




Interesting light should never be wasted.

We couldn't pass up an opportunity for a good band portrait.

ever been to Gatlinburg, TN? We hadn't and we were shocked.

introduction

This blog was an idea I've had floating around for a while as a way of keeping art and photography a part of my life and the rest of the members of Lonnie Walker I graduated Art School with. My hope is that this blog will be filled with photos Brian, Justin, and I have made during our travels with Lonnie Walker. It is not meant to be an information blog, instructional blog, opinion blog, or fashion blog. It is a blog about photographs and what its like to be with your friends, in a van, in a bunch of different cities.
