Izzy made a lot of the images that were bouncing around in my head all of these years come to life one morning at the Burger Bar here in Asheville. It was the first shoot in a long while where I actually asked permission and got the venue on board with what I was up to. They were all about it and the owners supported me fully, even helping line up the only dive-bar staff member who was up before 10AM to be on hand (mostly, to unlock/ relock the doors).

After I got the bucket list shots in the can, we had a few minutes to relish having one of Asheville’s finest establishments all to ourselves. Also, there was beer to finish drinking.
