Stuart has for many years been working on this creation. Connecting his constructions with the amazing features of this challenging site... Huge rocks, steep inclines, Stuart leads the eye to the beauty all around. I had a ball taking photos as I explored the site (again)

Joe Earl Stuart was one of Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys and he also worked as a Foggy Mountain Boy with Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. He was multitalented and could play just about any instrument in any bluegrass band. He was a popular performer on the Grand Ole Opry. When he died in 1987 he last request was that Bill Monroe sing all 25 verses of "John Henry" at his funeral. Sure enough the Father of Bluegrass did just that. Joe Earl Stuart is resting in the Forest Lawn Memorial Garden in Goodlettsville, Tennessee.
While on one of my frequent weekend perambulations through Prospect Park, I came across Stuart, practicing powerslides down a hill on Center Drive, and I thought he would make a great subject for some stroboscopic images. The problem was, I had deliberately packed light - only my 50mm f/1.4 and my 580 EX II, so I was ill-equipped to capture the action properly. He was cool with me experimenting while he did his thing, though, and after a while, I eventually started getting closer to getting the look I wanted.
Obviously, this image has a ton of problems - it would have definitely benefited from a tripod, a wider lens and more light, for instance - but now I know better, and I think I'll be better prepared for next time.
