Favorite southern getaway:
It’s a tie between Lake Martin, Alabama – for the beautiful relaxing rustic lake setting, and Key West, Florida – for the beachy atmosphere, nightlife and historic spots that make up the area. Where else can you walk a couple blocks down from Ernest Hemingway’s house to see a a drag show?

Now would ya look at that:

• Madewell sweater.

Favorite southern based brand:
I don’t know if it’s classified as a ‘brand’ but I love Garden & Gun. They never fail to deliver and have got me right on the edge of becoming a hunter every time they release their Best of the Sporting South issue. 

Now would ya look at that:
Wiley, almost head to toe in Ralph Lauren (Polo jacket and rugby, Purple Label shawl collar cardigan and pants).

As for the rest…

• Cartier Roadster watch.
• Vintage belt and boots.

Favorite place to grab a beer in Atlanta:
In my neighborhood, I love to sit bar side at Holeman & Finch. Five bucks gets you a cold Ommegang in a glass.

Now would ya look at that:
You should know JNG by now, as this is her fourth appearance on the blog (but who’s counting?) Jess road tripped with us to Shellman’s Bluff for a wedding I was shooting, and she was attending. We had a little downtime before the ceremony to enjoy a beer, and had no complaints about it.

Favorite thing about visiting Montana:
I love feeling no shame in sitting in a room, warmed by a large fire, enjoying a book or sporting event, and only getting up to eat, drink, or use the bathroom. I can relax there like I can’t in my own home. The hot tub doesn’t hurt, either.

Now would ya look at that:
Yes, this was photographed far away from the South, but sometimes Southerners head West, young man. When my parents retired, they left Texas for the Montana mountains, replacing the Houston humidity with fresh Bitterroot air. The house behind Mark has become my home.

• Beard.
• Ralph Lauren cashmere beanie and flannel.
• Buffalo Jackson vest (c/o).
• Onassis jeans.
• Bass desert boots with purple waxed laces.

Favorite date spot in Knoxville:
We just got Tupelo Honey in Market Square, and it’s definitely worth the wait. If you’re feeling brave, put in your name and pop in a few shops to kill time! After that, go to Sequoyah and take a walk on the boulevard or hit up the Peter Kern Library for drinks.

Now would ya look at that:
