A collection of photography and exploration focusing on Upstate South Carolina and beyond.
I was a fantastic fall afternoon, and Furman was threatening to lose yet another game (they didn’t, though), so I decided to head out and take some photos around town.

I’ve mentioned before that I have a problem with crowds. I wasn’t sure if it was claustrophobia or agoraphobia, but some phobia really makes me … Read More “Fall for Greenville 2007” »
