Hi, My Name is Paul Bishop

In order for the Blog Search feature to work, periodically, I need to add a post like this one which features key search words. For this post, if you find it you can go to the rest of the blog and to my website. I am learning...slowly at times. But, in any case, here goes.

I am Paul Bishop, a professional photographer, and I like to make images and see a good image.

My studio is Studio 5 Zero 1, which is located in downtown Kingsport, Tennessee.

I specialize in people photography especially weddings, professional images, families, and commercial work.

I have an innovative gallery at the studio.

My colleague is Kimberly Miller-Persson

PS: The spooky part of all of this: this blog entry was picked up by the search feature in less than five minutes!!

My Website...always changing

I enjoy the energy of my website and this blog...I can try things...I can change...never satisfied, but always fun...I hope to never get it "just right." That would mean that I have stopped trying.

Take a peek...it is fun.

Follow Up on the NY Times and Times News Delivery

Although it remains true that the NY Times generally is first to arrive, today the Times News had the story about Gerald Ford's death and the NY Times did not. So, maybe the T-N has the latest news...

How Come It Is...?

That I get my New York Times delivered every morning - seven days a week - to my front sidewalk earlier than I get the Kingsport Times-News?

LIGHTING FROM THE ETSU PLAY - The Cherry Orchard

Alex Curry asked me to help him do some images of the lighting he designed for the play The Cherry Orchard, which is Russian playwright Anton Chekhov's last play. The lighting was dramatic and the whole production was excellent...another fine job by the ETSU Theater Department. Karen Sabo directed this play for ETSU.
