I can't remember exactly how I stumbled onto Mark Peacock's website, but I am happy that I did. Next Sunday, October 11, Mark is going to present to the Adult Forum a collection of his stunning photographs of the region. It is some of the best local photography I have seen. Mark wrote on his site that he enjoys showing his work to locals to let those familiar with our regional wonders see them through fresh eyes. (Personal aside: I've always thought that the expression, "to see through fresh eyes" was related to a form of being born anew.)
Here's Mark's synopsis:
Appalachian Treks: The Photography of Mark W. Peacock. Please join Mark and the Adult Forum Sunday School Class as he presents his photography highlighting the natural and scenic beauty of this region. His presentation will include photos and descriptions of waterfalls, overlooks and many other destinations -- which will hopefully inspire us all get out and explore our corner of Appalachia! You will also be introduced to some of the events and colorful personalities that have shaped our local history.
...and a brief bio:
Born and raised in Morris, Illinois, Mark Peacock moved to the hills of east Tennessee to Johnson City in 1995 to attend Emmanuel School of Religion following law school school and praticing law at his family's law firm. He began teaching part-time at Northeast State Community College and was eventually hired by Milligan College in 1998 to teach courses in business, law and ethics. This year he added digital photography to his list of courses offered. Mark's love for photography was instilled in him by his grandfather, who taught him about lighting and composition and that photography at its best is really storytelling. Most weekends, Mark is out hiking and exploring the area with friends and his dog, Duke.
Please join us. As always, we'll be glad to see you. Excellent and loving childcare is provided.
