"Piedmont Stories" by John Mitchell, photographer

"The Piedmont's fields and forests, so beautifully spread against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge, are understandably celebrated.  Two of the photographs in the accompanying portfolio are of the natural landscape.  Equally as much a part of my life here, however, are the small stories that are being played out every day, and largely unnoticed.

There are warm August evenings in these photographs, the sound of bluegrass or of a clear stream flowing over ancient rock, the aroma of hot coffee or of barbecued ribs, the fortuitous juxtaposition of objects that delight the eye, they all are here, if we but look for them."
