Sweet Home Alabama – Lynyrd Skynyrd

After I pulled up the photo of Jeff Cook of the Alabama band last week, I took a second look at the photo set I have of Lynard Skynard hoping to find a shot suitable for a future TOCC TV cover. Alas, the band is worthy but my photography is not. Well, reall it is, but putting a horizontal aspect ratio onto a verticle cover just isn’t going to fit.

Miss March Profile

[ This page has an associated TOCC TV cover Miss March, I confess, was photographed in 2004 and has appeared on TOCC TV before. However, the previous pages haven’t yet been reposted. Even though she’s an old broad by now, I thought she deserved to be remembered in her all her youthful beauty. She had […]

Huntsville Black Lives Meets Fallen Officers

Never-the-less, it is my opinion that municipal police departments throughout this country are suffering from deeply ingrained corruption, that often is based on classicism just as much as race, as opposed to a few bad apples here or there. Therefore, I wonder if the change in plans might be just a bit more sublimation than propriety warrants. Cop lives certainly matter, but the imbalance in perception after Dallas was clearly evidenced by some who suddenly decided there is a war – where the hell have they been already?

Snowy Big Spring

Remember the olden days when we used to build web pages with lots of tricks like this? In honor of the white stuff on the ground this weekend, I decided to… stay indoors and drag out this shot, actually nine shots stitched together from the great snow of 2011. I took a bunch of photos in the snow back then that I really like, mostly because I don’t have to go out and get them now.

Slum Lords Of Huntsville: The Central Bank Parking Deck

Not really paying attention to much of anything, I was suddenly alarmed by what I instinctively thought must have been a small bomb. I don’t remember exactly when all this occurred, excepting that it was not terribly long after 911 and I suppose my sensitivities where somewhat tuned to the new reality of “everything has changed.” When I looked up, almost right in front of me, just across the Big Spring canal and immediately beneath the Central Bank parking deck, there was a cloud of dust and what I first thought was smoke rising into the air.

Big Spring Iceberg

Photo Caption ICEBERG! I had to trudge through miles of arctic tundra, snow, blizzards, and sub-freezing temperatures to get this shot of an iceberg in Big Spring Park. But, it was worth it. I’ve always figured that if temperatures drop as low as 10°, then I am entitled to snow. Not this year, at least […]
