Rather than write immediately about the brutal murder of Tyre Nichols by Memphis police, Heather Cox Richardson linked to Nichols' photography website. I'm glad she did. I visited his site and took a few moments to look at some of what he chose to capture, seeing through his camera lens what he observed and appreciated in and around Memphis. I encourage you to do the same, appreciating the mix of local landmarks and smaller details that caught his eye. Take a few moments to look on this piece of what he enjoyed in life, to set in your mind alongside the anguish and outrage over his death.

Nichols wrote this about his photography:
My name is Tyre D. Nichols. I am an aspiring photographer. Well I mostly do this stuff for fun but i enjoy it very much. Photography helps me look at the world in a more creative way. It expresses me in ways i cannot write down for people. I take different types of photograhy, anywhere from action sports to rural photos, to bodies of water and my favorite.. landscape photography. My vision is to bring my viewers deep into what i am seeing through my eye and out through my lens. People have a story to tell why not capture it instead of doing the "norm" and writing it down or speaking it. I hope to one day let people see what i see and to hopefully admire my work based on the quality and ideals of my work. So on that note enjoy my page and let me know what you think.
I'm grateful that you shared your images and vision Mr. Nichols. Rest in power.
