Picture Stories by Stephen Alvarez

Fantastic Pit Georgia, the last of my TAG vignettes

The last of the TAG vignettes that I shot for June's Deep South story. I had thought we would use these on the NG website but they never made it. 

I'm showing photos from that story Thursday at the University of the South (details here).

This was all shot on a Canon 1ds MK III with a 35 mm 1.4 lens

250 pictures that I shot with John Benson last year. I finally took the time to put them all together.

Deep South talk, oct 1 at 7pm

Here is a short video I put together for my upcoming Deep South talk at University of the South. I am going to show lots of beautiful photographs of caves in the Southeast, and I thought to be fair I should also show what my assistants and I go through to get the pictures. Sometimes video just gets the message across better.

The talk is free and open to the public October 1 at 7pm in Blackman Auditorium.

Feel free to share the video on Vimeo (here) or YouTube (here).

ps the video is all shot on my Canon G10 point and shoot. 

National Geographic photo of the day

 I shot this for June's Deep South article. I am showing more photos and talking about the assignment on Oct 1 (details here). The picture was shot in Indianapolis Cave in Tennessee the caver is Philip Rykwalder.

McBrides's Cave, Alabama

Or is it Tennessee? It is alway hard to remember because this cave is right on the border. It is a fun series of waterfalls followed by a very LONG crawl out the entrance. I am going through the TAG photos now getting ready for an upcoming talk at the University of the South (here).
