Some recent Product Photography

We have recently taken photos for a couple of local restaurants.  We enjoyed working with the people of Reggi's BBQ & Wings and Green Frog Coffee Co. of Jackson, TN.
Check out the rest of our photos on our Product Photography Page.

You guys will love this! I decided to take some photos around Jackson, TN. While I was doing this, I took some high profile photos with my CELL PHONE. This is a contribution to my argument that the camera is not the reason for good photos. IT IS THE PHOTOGRAPHER. For more photos, just click here.

I know I havent done many posts since Feb. but, we have been pretty busy... hence, the insane amount of posts as of late. Here in this post is a photo taken for a slide show that was presented at a Baby Dedication Ceremony. Click the Photo to see the rest of them.

Tornadoes Damage: Path of Tornado Destruction Photos

We were in Mt. Hope, Alabama with our church, Journey Church of Jackson, TN, cleaning up from the Tornado destruction. Where we were, you could see a lot of damage. It was bad, just like Joplin, MO. They got some press, but not as much as Joplin. I feel for these guys. Click the photo to see the rest of the pictures. I only had about 5 minutes to take some photos from the car since we worked all day.

Tornados are just one of many dangers that we can prepare for.

 I really want everyone that normally would read this blog to consider the possibilities of natural disasters, and what we can do to provide our families with safety and protection.  I know of a survivalist blog that has all of the information that we need in order to make it through these situations.  I don't necessary know if ALL of the information on the clever survivalist website is needed for my child's safety, but most of it is great.

All of the blogs end up creating a large survival guide full of information showing everyone how to live an abundant life when times are good, or not.  You learn Square Garden Design, on the Guide to Square Foot Gardening Spacing post, How to Store Food Using the Copy Can Method and Grocery Store Food, about backup power, and more to help home life.

There are also wilderness survival tips for parents that love taking their children camping, like finding north without a compass or how to navigate using a compass and map.  I like the posts made in the survivor school series that teach how to make shelters.

So check out the Clever Survivalist Blog Survival Guide and start learning awesome information, and maybe see some awesome photos.

New Portraits in Jackson, TN

I was able to shoot alot of photos for the Mother Daughter Dance for Journey Church in Jackson, TN. It was A LOT of fun. I only added a few portraits from this because I obtain specific permission prior to placing my photos online.

Skillet Guitarist, Ben Kasica, Is Leaving the Band

Skillet guitarist, Ben Kasica, is leaving the Band. The Band will no doubtly be looking for someone that can shred on the guitar with their teeth, like he did. Read the full story here.

We've recently added some photos on our landscapes page and on our portraiture page.
You can click the photos to go to them.

This is the photo of one of the designs for our business T-Shirts that we really like. We are just having difficulty finding someone that will do it for less than 20-30 dollars a shirt. So ridiculous.

The Altared Visions Photography team of Jackson, TN just recently went to Asheville, NC to enjoy the North Carolina Mountains. There was alot of hiking and waterfalls. It was a really cool vacation. I actually tracked most of our hikes with my Garmin 20, so here are the links (you can download the .gpx data for your GPS device) so you can see where we went. Most of the stuff below is in the order that we went.

This is the almost full vertical hike we took up Chimney Rock.
This one we walked to the peak of Mt. Mitchell and then the Basalm Nature Trail where I found a lost benchmark.
The same day we stopped at the overlook at Craggy Gardens.
Hooker Falls, Triple Falls, and High Falls Hikes (in that order).
We went to Looking Glass Falls which wasn't a hike, just some steps.
For Second Falls Hike.
For Moore Cove Falls Hike.
For Slick Rock Falls Hike.
The Children loved Tweetsie Railroad. The train ride was pretty awesome.
The Walk we took for the Asheville Urban Trail.
For our Tom's Creek Fall's Hike. (My wife's favorite because of all the minerals and quartz)
For the walking that we did to pick apples at the orchard.
For Crabtree Falls Hike.
For a North Carolina Blue Ridge Parkway and Pisgah National Forest Autumn color drive.

Recently went to MouseTail Landing State Park. Took some photos. These are only Point and Shoot Photos. Proof that the Photographer is more important than the camera. For awesome Altared Visions Photography point and shoot photography in Jackson, TN click the photo for the Point and Shoot Page.
