DON'T KNOW HOW I MISSED THIS PHOTO IT IS AWESOME

Artist Reply: Margaret, thank you so much for your wonderful comment! I really appreciate it! I'm actually quite lucky, as we have a summer place just three miles from Mabry Mill, which is on the Blue Ridge Parkway!

Andrew Stuart 27 May 2008

Outstanding photograph Shannon, it's clear why this is the most photographed Mill in America, what I don't understand is why those PR people refused to sell your prints.

Artist Reply: Andrew, what a wonderful thing to say! I really appreciate your comment! Thank you very, very much! I will work on those PR people again! If you go to my main website, you will see at the beginning, the photos of Mabry Mill that I will send to them, plus... I will give them a few more to choose from that I haven't posted yet! Like my Art Wanted site, I have many, many more photos that I have not posted yet on my main website. Perhaps, the last time I sent them photos, I wasn't prepared enough and needed to offer them more to choose from! As you can see, if you visit my other website, that I am going to offer a whole lot more this time, maybe... too many!!!

beautiful. I love the silvery quality of the light.

Artist Reply: Thank you for your comment, Joe. I really appreciate it! I think when I get the chance I will play with this photo in Photoshop and see what more I can do with the light. I believe this was an untouched photo, where I didn't change anything! Isn't it a beautiful place? Soon... I will post more Mabry Mill photos on Art Wanted. For now... you can view a few of them on my other website.

Brooke Mann 19 Oct 2007

This is soooo beautiful. I grew up the mountains of western NC along the Blue Ridge Parkway and this makes me sooooooo homesick! Great work here!

Artist Reply: Brook, thank you for you comment! I really appreciate it! Where were you born in western North Carolina? I was born in Asheville. My parents lived in Swannanoa. Unfortunately, we left when I was a tiny baby. We go up that way every year and also to the mountains in Virginia. I love the Blue Ridge Mountains! On my other website, you will see tons of photos of the Blue Ridge. There are more Mabry Mill photos on my other website also.
