For all those who librarians and archivist are no fun. We are a hoot. I was so glad to help Joyce Weaver at the Mint Museum of Art today for the Libraries and Archives tour as part of the Southeastern Museum Conference. Yes it very possible to use a DSLR to take a selfie of two people! #Mint #Friends #Archives

Dern Queen Charlotte tells some killer jokes.  Look at our reaction.  Joyce  is one of the best librarians I have ever meet.

It is National Ask An Archivist Day. I feel SO strongly about the values of Archives. They are the repository of a community, an institution or nation. We each have our archives at home - in photo albums clippings from papers, and school yearbooks. If you have a burning question, Ask An Archivist. #AskAnArchivist

"I surrender not our claim to EQUALITY. All I ask of our brethren is, that they will take their feet from our necks, and permit us to stand upright on the ground which God designed us to occupy" (Grimké, S. M., p. 35-36).

As an artist, I am a purveyor of high-quality portraits of nature, landscape, and people that capture the evocative beauty and gracefulness of the south. My works center on documenting the ever-changing world we live. My guiding philosophy for art is from the French Impressionist Camille Pissaro: "Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing."
