Tennessee Theater | Knoxville, TN by Jim Servies

39 31

Shot Info:

Nikon D300 | Tokina 11-16 (16mm) ƒ/2.8 (1/2s ƒ/2.8) | ISO 200 | Post-processing: Adobe Lightroom 2.5

There are so many great photos of Gay Street and the Tennessee Theater that I found it difficult to put my perspective and "DNA" on something new. Many admired photographers have produced inspiring photos of Gay Street and the Tennessee Theater that I'm hesitant to even post this. And honestly, I'm just not sure how I feel about it at this moment?

I set out early (5:00 a.m.) last Thursday morning (01-07-10) in the freezing cold (15°) snowy weather to hopefully find a desolate downtown Knoxville. Of course, I did. I mean really, who in their right mind would go out in such crazy conditions? Me! :~)

My hope was to produce a color version of a somewhat snowy Gay Street and the remaining Christmas Lights while including the legendary Tennessee Theater signage. Of the sixty or so shots I made that morning I still wasn't totally satisfied with the results. And basically, my near frost-bit hands had enough. I know ... Sissy. :~)

This high-contrast B/W version (color version available) is the one I like the best - at least for today. I hope you enjoy it too. Please see links below for more information.

Seen on: Bill Cross' fantastic flickr blog. Be sure to stop by Bill's photostream too as it is amazing and why not join his Flickr Walkabout Group; who knows you may be featured. Thanks again Bill!

Thanks for viewing.
