I’m really excited to showcase the work of Mike Quesinberry, a photographer who was born and raised in my home town of Floyd, Virginia. He produces stunning images within and of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Appalachia, a part of this great country that always makes my eyes fill when I return and see those beautiful ridges in the distance.

Mike graduated from Floyd County High School (my alma mater, too!) in 1984 and Radford University in 1988. He is currently a manager at Slaughters’ Garden Center in Floyd and avidly pursues his passion of creating meaningful and beautiful photo-art.

I offer a few images here in order to whet your appetite for our Fall “APPALACHIA” issue. Stay tuned!
