House Burn

On October 14th we burned a house for the Citizens Academy.  It's not only an opportunity for ordinary citizens to see a house fire and firefighters at work but it's valuable training for the firefighters.

USA Moulton Tower

The University of South Alabama's Moulton Tower is named after the Past President of the University.  It is among one of the most photographed places in the City of Mobile.

The Abstract

Art is everywhere; you just have to open your eyes and mind to see it...

Firefighter Recruit Training

On Thursday, September 12 the Training Division burned two houses as part of our Firefighter Recruit training.  These recruits will be graduating in the coming weeks.

Bayou La Batre

I made a very recent trip down to Bayou La Batre to shoot some of the Shrimp Boats.  While there I met some very nice people who welcomed myself and my two fellow photographers.  It was interesting listening to their stories about the challenges of shrimping and the regulations that really hurt their livelihoods.  It was a common theme among the boat owners.

Motels

There are still quite a few old motels along Highway 90/Government Blvd, including an old Colonel Dixie that is still in operation.

Some of the motels are empty and others have definitely seen better days.

Fire

Fire is both beautiful and destructive.  For Firefighters it's a love-hate relationship.  It's the same for photographers.
