Taste Full Beans, Cades Cove Exhibit

On September 8th Brandi and I (Joey) put our work up on the wall of Taste Full Beans in downtown Hickory, NC. This is our 2nd collaborated showing at TFB in addition to the independent showings that each of us have done before.

We decided for this show that we wanted to do something a little different, we wanted to make a theme with our photographs, for this we chose Cades Cove. Cades Cove which is located in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee, near Townsend, holds a special meaning to the two of us. Cades Cove was a place that the two of us visited numerous times at the beginning of our relationship and a place that we vacation in four or five times a year. We usually camp at the campground or stay in a motel in nearby Pigeon Forge. Cades Cove is a nature photographers heaven. Wildlife is abundant in the cove and does not require super telephoto lenses to achieve tightly framed shots of them. There are also lots of old buildings that are in various stages of preservation, each one unique and interesting. It is also an added benefit to escape to a place where you can turn off your cell phone as there is no hope of getting a signal!


Our showing at Taste Full Beans will run through October 17th, after that we hope to move the photographs to another location, though nothing has been finalized yet. All work on display is for sale, we have a variety of matted and frame photographs at various prices, including ultra affordable 8x10's matted for $20 each.
