Hugos – Fayetteville, Arkansas – Food Photographer
When I moved to Fayetteville almost 20 years ago, Hugos was the first restaurant I visited for lunch. It’s the place where the locals go that has a great assortment of food on the menu.

In honor of the first day of fall, I thought I would post a few fall photos. The first three are from Devil’s Den State Park and include an image of a leaf suspended in a spider web. The web is barely visible, so the leaf looks like it’s suspended mid-fall. A fun little thing…

Ice Storm 2009 – Fayetteville, Arkansas – Editorial photographer
There are no words that really describe what it looks like here in Fayetteville… at least no words from someone who dislikes writing.
