I have dabbled into commercial photography, it is true. Since my artwork is not without direction, neither will my commercial photographs.

I don't photography puppies, your kids, flowers, barns, parties, fashion, weddings or any other that other wildly popular greeting card material. I specialize in architecture.

There is more life in a structure than any of the aforementioned. It's content is deep, not shallow like the 100,000^th picture of Coolidge park, a wedding, or some foggy black and white train tracks.

A good architectural photograph allows the structure to speak to YOU, not simply document what it looks like. It's lines, space, light, and volume must be carefully joined together to capture the essence and the emotion of that one particular space so that it may be easily used as a communication tool.

TVA Kingston, TN

Tammy + I visited Kingston, TN to visit the recent fly ash spill - many months after it occurred, not to focus on the devastation of the fly ash spill but the area immediately around the TVA coal plant. There is some heinous devastation indeed which I didn't photograph because focusing on ugliness never seems productive. The following images are between 1 mile from and directly in the fly ash damage:

I received a response to my submission to the Appalachian Photographers Project. Here is the e-mail:

Dear Jeremy, Thank you for submitting your work to the Appalachian Photographers Project. We greatly appreciated the opportunity to view your work and enjoyed it very much. At this time, we will not be adding your portfolio to the project, but would love for you to keep in contact with us as your project progresses. As a group of photographers, we have all received our fair share of these letters and do genuinely hope you will keep in touch with your new work. At this time, our priority is to try to do as much as possible for our group of photographers and due to our small staff we are adding members slowly and being highly selective with the mix of photographers and work. Please keep in touch. Sincerely, Appalachian Photographers Project

Yesterday, I applied to enter the Appalachian Photographers Project which features some very noteworthy photographers.

This has been the first submission to any type of project or exhibit in almost 2 years. A few exhibit invitations helped me slowly to re-gain my creative inspiration. As you know, I worked for the sculptor John Henry for a few months and since then most of my motivation and inspiration withered away, but now I feel like I have a chance to make a return in a big way as that same initial inspiration to create art and photograph is returning.

Below you will find the 20 submissions for the Appalachian Photographers Project :
