As a result of a conversation with my friends I have decided to make public the book I’ve self-published. It’s a collection of photographs of my hometown: Cookeville, Tennessee. In it I’ve tried to show you the Cookeville that I<\/I> know, the Cookeville that I love.<\/p>\n

I feel that instead of doing the promoting myself I should let others speak for me:
\n

Kevin, how do you make Cookeville look so interesting? ‘Cause I’ve lived here for 12 years and it ain’t.
\n-Mark T.<\/B><\/p>\n

Wow, Kevin, you find some interesting hidden places in Cookeville.
\n-Megan H.<\/B><\/p>\n

Apparently there are two Cookevilles: The one that I grew up in, which is boring, and the one that Kevin lives in, which is cool.
\n-Richard M.<\/B><\/p>\n

Your photographs have the powerful effect of making the viewer want to be where-ever it is you’re shooting, seeing what you see. Having grown up there and living elsewhere for most of 8 years, I find this to be an amazing thing to do with Cookeville.
\n-Rebecca H.<\/B><\/BLOCKQUOTE><\/p>\n

Okay, that’s enough out of me about this whole thing. If you’re interested you can look at a short preview or order a copy of the book<\/A>. I’ve also added a link on the left-hand sidebar in case you want to find it again later.<\/p>\n

Thanks for listening to my self-promotion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
