“It is not the clear-sighted who rule the world.
Great achievements are accomplished in a blessed, warm fog.”
~ Joseph Conrad
at a theater near you
Tonight was the premier party for Kentucky Bourbon Tales at the Kentucky State Theater. It’s a documentary on Kentucky Bourbon as told from a family perspective through a series of master distillers. The Nunn Center archives the oral histories used to create the film, and the whole of Special Collections was invited to the party. Yours truly happened to go along the day they were filming six of the master distillers, and of course, I had my camera. Eleven of my shots made it into the documentary which aired simultaneously tonight on Kentucky Educational television (KET). I was awfully proud to see them on the big screen. I don’t often like what I shoot, but these photos fit perfectly in the context of the documentary. I was surprised at how much I liked them. That never happens to me. Better than that were my co-workers enjoying themselves outside the confines of our building. I work with a great group of people, truly, and every once in a while I get to do something fun like photograph master distillers. Plus, Shawn Livingston is my hero, so any day with him is a good day in my book.
