In June, 2006, I attended a Mentorseries Photo Trek (sponsored by Popular Photography Magazine) in the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee.


We headquartered in Gatlinburg.
Each evening and morning we were transported
into the mountains to catch the sunrise and sunset, streams,
rock formations, and leftover homes and barns scattered throughout the hills.

It was very beautiful and there were multitudes of photo opportunities throughout the weekend. Our mentors were very helpful and ever-present to give advice and encouragement to all the trekkers. The sunsets weren't as spectacular as they could have been, but still awe inspiring and well worth the wait.


One morning I spent several hours walking around Gatlinburg in a shopping area called "The Village". It's a quaint little area of small shops, cobbled sidewalks, and many nooks & crannies to explore. I arrived around 6 a.m. and had the place practically to myself for about 2 hours.
