Knoxville Daily Photo will post one photo per day taken from the Knoxville/Knox County, Tennessee area. Knoxville is the city of my birth, the place where I work, and the largest city near our hometown. It's a wonderful community in which to raise our family. It's really a beautiful place . . . . at least I think so.

I am not a professional photographer; I call myself a point & shoot photographer. I have had a genuine love for and interest in photography since childhood. My camera is a Nikon Coolpix S600 ~ which I love for many reasons that I won't list here. Sometimes I use my old camera which is a Nikon Coolpix 5900.

Photography is something that I enjoy immensely. My photographs & albums are treasured above all other material things I own. The memories that are captured and preserved through my camera are so precious.

I am glad that I have discovered City Daily Photo and started a photo blog. It's an honor to share my little corner of the world with those who find themselves here. Enjoy looking around my blog, and welcome to all who visit.

The Scrambler

The Scrambler is one of my daughter's favorite amusement park rides! Another photo taken 40 miles outside of Knoxville.

HOpe, you'll forgive me if I gush about your work some more... But honestly, how do you manage to make every shot look like a classic? This is wonderful, as usual. I think we all feel like your family is our family, too!

I tell people to come to your blog to see a photographer who always knows when to take the shot. You really have a knack that way.

Okay, I'll stop acting like a stalking fan now! :-)

If only we could harness the amount of fun your daughter has and convert it into an alternate energy...

"With gratitude and great pleasure I would like to pass the award to these photography bloggers:

Hope of Knoxville Daily Photo. Hope can squeeze images out of her Nikon Coolpix that will astonish you. The photographs of her kids capture the essence of childhood and a mother's love with the same poignancy and joy of the paintings of Mary Cassatt..."
