Howdy. Y’all can just call me Uncle Lightnin’. I been shootin’ since I was just a boy down in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I shot everything from kids to politicians. I even shot a few small animals in my time. They say I got a shutter fast as lightnin’, and that’s why they call me Uncle Lightnin’. ‘Fore this, I worked as a photo intern for the good ole’ Chattanooga Times Free Press, the grand uncle of the New York Times. Ye ever need a good shot, I’m yer guy.
