Meeting New People

One of the best things about being a photographer is having the opportunity to meet new and interesting people.

Currently, I'm in Monroe, La. working on a magazine for the local chambers of commerce. One of the stories is on local artist Edmund Williamson.

One of Edmund's most interesting works is a series of paintings of the Elvis tree. The tree is about 50 miles outside of Monroe that looks a lot like Elvis Presley. Supposedly, a couple of people almost got into a fistfight trying to buy the original painting.

Another person I got to meet was Jackie Green, who owns Jackie's Collectibles in West Monroe, La.
