Many of you know how much I love to photograph people…I try to never miss an opportunity and people have been so nice to let me photograph them for my blog…This is Carol and her Mother…aren’t they beautiful??? You’ve seen Carol on my blog before…
here…
This is
Dr. Ron Kirkland, Carol’s hubby…he is running for a political office here in NW Tennessee…and he is a native of the little town where we live!!!
We attended a debate last night featuring Dr. Ron and the other three candidates…The debate was sponsored by the Obion and Weakley County and Young Republican Parties here in West Tennessee. We thank them for this opportunity...
Can I just say that we are so fortunate to have four of the most talented and moral men I’ve ever known running for this Republican slot.
It is so hard to decide between them and it keeps me going over their professional attributes in my mind a lot.
Dr. Ron is a well known physician who practices in Jackson, Tn. He is a member of a very notable clinic there in Jackson.
He has held many professional positions in the state and on the national level.
This is
Mr. Stephen Fincher, he is a well known area farmer who lives in Frog Jump, Tn….yep…how could you not love a farmer from Frog Jump. In addition to farming he is a member of a prominent family who is known for their Gospel Singing, talent too!!!
This is
Dr.George Flinn…Dr. Flinn is from the Memphis area and is quite well known in the West Tennessee area. He is also a small business owner in our area. He owns quite a few area radio and television stations (they number in the forties I believe) so he is quite well versed in business as well as health care. He is also very personable and quite proud of his family…he emailed me a great photo of his grandson and dog swimming together!!!
I love this photo of Dr. Kirkland and Randy Smith talking. Randy is the fourth candidate running in this primary!!!
Political foes??? I think not…all of these men are committed to getting this country out of the proverbial ditch that we are in.
I’m certain they have all made sacrifices we will never know about in order to run in this contest.
Mr. Randy Smith is the fourth candidate that we heard last night. Randy is known for packin’… Packin’ his copy of the Constitution of our country!!!
He has some pretty good ideas and is the most animated speaker we had. He was pretty difficult to get a good photo of since he used his hands and arms to punctuate his remarks. He had the audience in stitches quite a few times and actually remained quite serious and enthusiastic at the same time. I think that takes a lot of talent!!! Randy is a chef. The chef of a very popular restaurant in Jackson, Tn. It’s very popular because his food is very good!!! The name of the family owned restaurant is Baudo’s.
Below are a few more of the people photos that I was lucky enough to snatch!!!
Mr. Doss, his Grandfather and brother built my house…he is a popular and well known religious leader in our area….
Family…this is what this politicky stuff is all about!!!
Graduated Tint and a film grain was used here along with a crop and some color tweaking…
The original …
This time I took the same photo and added a little fill light, a little high light and took the color spectrum toward the blue side… 
I applied the filtered Black and White this time…sorta hurts to take all that glorious color away!!!
This is the untouched version… 
Sepia tone, darken shadows and color temp all the way to red side… I sorta like this one…
