Bourbon barrel warehouse

Did I mention that I have been working on a follow up to the successful, "Kentucky Wide"? For the last three years I have been shooting intently and just shipped it off to the printer. I had already done two different bourbon barrel scenes but had the opportunity to shoot at the Wild Turkey Distillery. Missy and I went over there one recent morning and had a great time. Jimmy, the master distiller, accompanied us and he is quite the character! He has been there for over 50 years and come to find out, he and my Dad probably played against each other in a tournament of fast-pitch softball at my hometown of Corinth about 50+ years ago. As you walk in these warehouses the aroma of the "angel's share" is quite evident.
A "wider" view of this scene is in the upcoming book, "Kentucky Wide II", and is due this October.

Vine and branches


These two images are from Lover's Leap Winery in Lawrenceburg, KY. My friends, Logan and Pam Leet purchased the winery a couple of years ago and are having a lot of success with it. it is a huge operation! On Feb 14th, they had a big party and chose to decorate the gift shop and reception hall with images I had created on site, as well as a few from my Kentucky Wide series. I would suggest a drive over when you want to get out of town. It is in a beautiful setting.
