I'm an urban explorer from the East Tennessee area, as well as an amateur photographer. Getting into places where I don't belong since I was a wee little girl living on a defunct farm, I had carried my fascination of all things old and derelict into adulthood. Be forewarned, I have a tendency to take a ton of pictures, but I hardly ever post all of them, since I have so many. Urbex photography is not all I do, however. I thoroughly enjoy taking pictures of the beautiful scenery of East Tennessee, from awe inspiring waterfalls to breathtaking views of the mountains. I'm also a gamer and you might see posts pertaining to Final Fantasy, The Legend of Zelda, Mario, Silent Hill, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Pokemon, and retro gaming.
I also love local history and I'm fascinated with southern folklore and ghost stories from Appalachia. My late Mamaw instilled this wonder of the people and places of East Tennessee in me and since her passing last year, I thank my lucky stars that I had a grandmother who was such an adept storyteller and even historian in her right.
