Public TV series with Art Wolfe

I just happened to run across this series yesterday while setting the DVR to capture another TV show and I'm sure you find something inspirational (at least photographically) in it. Photographer Art Wolfe travels to some pretty amazing locations in the series Travels to the Edge. There is some pretty good insight into Art's artistic approach with just a bit of technical approach thrown to keep the serious photographers interested. In Nashville, the series airs on Sunday afternoons. Check out more info at http://www.travelstotheedge.com/series/ Enjoy!

Cool old building - Marathon Motor Works

I had the opportunity (as part of an organized outing with the Brentwood Camera Club) to go photograph the Marathon Motor Works building near downtown Nashville this past week-end. The building is from 1881 and it housed the Motor Works from 1907-1914. It's a pretty cool location - several photographers have studios in the main building that has been converted to offices, etc. Yazoo Brewing and Lightning 100 are also located in the building. I found a lot more photo opportunities outside than inside especially the backside with the train tracks and parts of the building in various states of decay. For some more info on the Motor Works see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marathon_Motor_Works. And if you ever down around 13th and Clinton Street (just north of Charolette Avenue) check it out.
