About Lee
I’ve always loved nature and sharing its beauty with others. Born in Tennessee, raised in Ohio, and now back in Tennessee where I work at Milligan College, Appalachia is in my blood and heart. I now live in beautiful Unicoi County.
My Granddad taught me to appreciate the art of photography, my parents helped me develop a love of God’s creation, and my Aunt Toby (1942-1993) showed me how to find beauty in almost anything. May these images and words inspire and comfort others as they have me.
If you’re a Fierbaugh/Firebaugh and are interested in our family genealogy, please email me for access to the Fierbaugh Family Tree at www.ancestry.com. It goes back to 1744, when Heinrich Feuerbach arrived in Philadelphia from Germany.
Please visit my PHOTO GALLERY if you are interested in a print for your home, office, or as a gift. Or email me with your size/framing requirements and I’ll get back to you with a personalized quote.

I would say Aunt Toby must be alive in you. These are the finest collection of photos on Appalachia I’ve seen. The quotations you’ve chosen are apt and unique.

Lee, your willingness to share the beauty in your soul, the talents of your life, and the love in your heart have given me purpose in a new life to be lived starting right now. I believe I was as low as a person can be-yet God- in His loving mercy somehow directed me to your website. I do not know how I got here-I ONLY KNOW THAT I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING LIFE BACK INTO ME.I will look on your website each day as a beginning to a new life.I will think on these things that you have so graciously and lovingly compiled. May God contiue to bless you beyond measure-and thank you for helping me to find life in God’s creation and his Spirit in those whom you have quoted down through the ages.Thank you for reminding me where life is-all around me.I just forgot to look!
