Incase your head was in the sand, last month a huge storm in the south spawned tornadoes that killed 52 people. The area where I live in middle TN was spared, but they weren’t so lucky about an hour north of me in Macon County, TN, which was the hardest hit with 14 deaths. I drove up there about a week after the storm to take some pictures that I was hoping I might sell to go to relief efforts but nobody really cares about natural disasters once a few days pass and it’s not headline news anymore. I just stopped at the first destroyed house I found and asked the guys that were looking through it if I could take some pictures and they said it was ok. We ended up talking for a long time about the storm and the unpredictability of life. I’m glad instead of watching TV that afternoon I did this.

This dog belonged to the guy who lived next door. This is my favorite picture from the shoot.
