Ellis & Sons Iron Works

Yesterday afternoon I spent two hours photographing at Ellis & Sons Iron Works, a foundry in downtown Memphis that dates back to 1862.  I met the owner, who is the great-grandson of the founder, and he gave me free reign to wander through the plant, photographing at will.  The Ellis foundry created a cast for a water purification system that our church is installing in Ghana and Mexico.  Yesterday was the day to test the cast, and I got to go along with my camera.  Enjoy the series. –MTM

Yosemite. Lake Tahoe, and the Eastern Sierra

I just returned from a week in Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, and the Eastern Sierra.  While I haven’t completed processing all of the pictures, I have posted 32 of them to my online gallery.  The aspen were not in full color yet, but as you’ll see the smaller ones in the low areas were on their way.  I hope you enjoy these.

New Mexico (2009) Gallery

I have now thinned out and updated my gallery of New Mexico photographs from the summer of 2009.  If you have viewed my blog/gallery posts over the summer, you will not find any new photographs in these galleries.  Instead, you’ll find the final versions of the better ones from the summer, which I have now processed more carefully than before.  There are 65 black and white photographs and 49 color photographs in the collection.  Enjoy, Matt
