I tend to have a preference for nostalgia and for imagery that provokes questions: "Where does that road lead? This actually feels cold, hot, lonely, etc." With each shot I personally associate the sounds, smells, feelings, temperature, etc. Not everyone can or will connect with a photograph in this way. That is the beauty of this medium and what makes each photographer different. My only advice about photography is "Be in love with what you see."

History Channel in Winston-Salem
My Great Grandfather is either brimming with pride or standing with his jaw down to his knees. This was filmed at Bowman Gray Stadium that was named in his honor. Tune in Sunday night at 10pm EST on the History Channel.

This may make me start going back to watch 'rubbin and racin' on Sat nites. The Fleming family have been racing for 3 generations now, from Mt. Airy and have been friends from 'way back'. I have already set it to record.
As I've said on several occasions, you have to just go and sit in the stands a watch the shows. Yes shows. One on the track and the other, sometimes even better show, in the stands. The folks in the stands are very knowledgeable. I can usually follow what happening to the first and second place cars but the true fans will be able to tell you about 100% of the time that the number 81 car just passed the 62 car to move into 8th place. The show in the stands usually takes place between the fans of certain drivers. Mainly just trash talking good fun. BG racing IS Americana. Your GGF would be amazed.
His jaw is probably down around knee level - would be my guess, Bo. I watched this past Sunday's episode (2nd episode). Pretty wild stuff. Does everyone in Winston-Salem sound like that? I sure hope not!!!
