Sometimes you get lucky when feature hunting and things look like they are not going to shape up to anything interesting.

Here's the caption:

3-year-old Jessa Ellis barters with Nancy Yates over the price of a doll at a warehouse yard sale for the Children's Museum of Memphis. Grabbing collectible coins on the display counter, Ellis tried to bargain and purchase the doll for two coins until her parents decided to help and treat her to the toy with more up-to-date currency. The yard sale was put on by the children's museum to clean out excess office furniture and toys in storage. All the proceeds benefit the museum's educational exhibits and programs.

Saul 2 Paul

Recently, I photographed a band called "Saul 2 Paul." This was my first legit band shoot. Always fun to have a new experience. Since my dad is serving a tour of duty in Afghanistan, I'll give him a little nod and share a slogan he always enjoyed telling me. "Kurlicks try things at least once." There you go dad. So that's what I did, I tried something new. Great group of guys to work with, especially since I made them stare into the sun for the better part of two hours and I'm still here to share these photos.

Snow Dog

So for this round of snow in Memphis, I was at my folks home for the day because of the complementary heat, food, internet and family provided. I took some time to play with our dog, Bailey, in their backyard. She was born in Nov. '08 and is very much a winter dog as you can see.
