Denton,
Thanks for your great pictures of all the different wedding event locations – you have been amazing and I just wanted to thank you for everything!
Paula
Denton, after meeting you at the concert last night, I revisited your web site today after a long absence. I thought it was very good then. I think that it is even better now.
Great job.
Chuck
I love your photos. I own a Studio/Gallery on S. Main Street in Greenville. I would LOVE to talk to you. Please contact me. Fabulous work! L D-K.
Thank you Liz. I’ll send you and email and drop by your Studio to introduce myself.

Sounds silly but do you take requests?
We’re interested in seeing G’ville’s skyline to see if there are mountains visible. Do you have any archived photos of the city with mountains in the background?
Just curious.
We love your daily picture and look for it as soon as we turn on the computer each day.
Thank you so much for this site! My husband and I are planning on moving to Greenville very shortly from MI and all of your photos have made us want to move that much sooner!
Thank you very much for your wonderful pictures of greenville. I am a native of G-vegas but im serving overseas in Japan at the moment. It is wonderful to be able to see great shots of my hometown which I miss very much. Thanks again and keep em coming!
Howdy from the Eastside,
My husband, Kevin and his REALTOR pals, Darin and Cole are launching a website, http://www.discovergreenville.com. We’d love to feature a feed from your site, after I figure out how to make it work. I love your perspective on downtown.
All the best,
Helen Ingram
I am one of Greenville’s native sons, and I currently am attending Campbell University. I love this site, and have it bookmarked for me to visit every day. Its always fun to catch a little glimpse of home. Some of these photos have inspired some of my studio and graphic design art work.
Kim from MI, I don’t live in Greenville (wish I did), currently living in Alpharetta outside Atlanta, GA originally from MI. I have also lived in Florida and Ireland. Anyway, I have been through Greenville many times over the years, but this past year have visited downtown Greenville…I am in love with the place…sooooooo friendly, and understand that IS the way the people there truly are. I love the river walk and waterfalls going into Falls Park I take day trips there whenever I can.
You are so lucky to be moving there.
Denton, Do you and Connie live in one of those new condos along the river? I would love to have one of those :-) I would love to be able to have my dog there so he could take the river walks with me, and be with me when visiting some new friends i have met there.
ann
Hi! Came across your site and we are really enjoying it! We’re moving to the Greenville area from Texas – I believe you said you were also from Texas. Good to know we’ll be among friends. :)
Have a great week!
Denton, check our the photos you have inspired me to start taking. Comments are welcome
thanks
would you please take photos and talk about the san souci and nicholtown districts? i would like to know more about these areas and how close they are to the areas that you usually photograph. I love visiting your site. thanks.
I am so greatful that you have taken these pictures. Lots of good memories come to my mind. i had lived in Greenville from 1998-2005, considered it my home (I never lived anywhere longer than 1 year). Now that I am sick and my health has not allowed me to spent the rest of my life in Greenville, these pictures really move my heart and bring tears to my eyes. I miss all of it.
Sarah, I’m sure you will love it. Yes we grew up north of Amarillo Texas in a small town called Stratford.
Mike, your photos are great. I am envious of the Freedom Weekend Aloft photos taken in flight.
CJ, I have been very busy as of late but I have not forgotten your request. I will try to take photos from both areas in the near future.
Dina, sorry to hear you have health troubles. Without knowing the details, my advice is to cherish each day with a loved one. I know from personal experience how important that is … I am so pleased you enjoy our photos and I hope to bring you many more good memories.
Hello, I am stationed in Fort Hood, TX but currently deployed to Balad, Iraq. I am a native of Greenville, SC. Thank you for taking these pictures, as it provides all the motivation I need to make it back home.
Hi Denton and Connie,
We are from Brazil and we have just moved to Greenville SC. Our family likes to see the daily photos of the city we are living now. Thanks for your message in our blog: (hellofromgreenville.blogspot.com).
Best regards,
Bruno and Tai
Dustin, thanks for visiting our photo blog and for leaving your comment. You made my day. Please be safe.
Bruno and Tai, our little city of Greenville is becoming very international. I’m pleased your family enjoy the photos.
CJ: I live in the san souci area (right down the street from furman)…it has cleaned up alot in the last couple years. Specially since Cherrydale and the new highway went in. I love the area and is just a hop, skip and a jump to downtown, but sad to say my husband and I are putting our house on the market next spring. Berea use to be a VERY nice area but has drastically went downhill in the last 5 to 10 years. Sad.
Denton: When you get time, would love to see pictures of my area on your website. :o)
Like a few other commenters, my wife Diane and I are very seriously looking at retiring to Greenville in the next year or so — from Seattle, WA. We’ve been subscribing to blogs, web sites, and corresponding with Realtors. (BTW — giving your phone number to a Realtor while online is somewhat worse than handing out one breadcrumb to a seagull. Soon you’re completely flocked.)
We’d really like to rent or buy a commercial building in the downtown area, rehab it and live above in a loft situation. Are there any properties like that available, or maybe available? Any realtors who specialize in commercial who aren’t flocked?
I’d love to see more photos of any buildings like this that already exist. We’re technology nuts, and would rent out the street level spaces to other tech-friendly businesses.
Denton,
I’ve been visiting your blog for a little while, and I really enjoy your photos! I lived in Greenville as a young newlywed in the early 80s – my husband & I lived in an apartment on White Horse Pike (near Furman, and across the highway from the Silver Spur Lounge – not much money in those days!) I worked at the old Greenville Hospital. Back then, downtown was deserted, and a little dangerous. I am so glad to see it’s turned around! I live in TN now, and am planning to visit Greenville again soon.
This daily photo project looks like a lot of fun! How can I join the daily photo group? I bought my first digital camera and have been slowly learning its wiley ways, and I’ve never had a blog (I’m not very high tech), but I’d like to try it.
Regards,
Mel
I am downstairs and just ran into your site. Stop in and lets talk about linking up!
Denton
Have you ever taken a picture of West Prentiss Avenue? I remember the way the trees arched over the street and how it always made me feel like I was looking down a tunnel! Of course, those trees may be long gone by now, but it sure was pretty, especially in the fall.
Virginia, I will try to take a photo for the fall leaves on West Prentiss Avenue. The colors are not very good this year however there is some new development on West Prentiss which I have been meaning to photograph. A photo should appear sometime in the next two weeks. If there is a specific address you would like me to photograph you can seen an email and I’ll make an effort. My email address is one of the small icons on the left of every page.
Denton, Just wanted to say that I love your photos. I work at Falls Park and often see you walking through…at least I think its you. As a matter of fact I think it may have been you I saw walking by with camera in hand as our crew was spreading mulch behind the Peace Center this afternoon. I just had to let you know that we’ll keep working hard on the park if you keep taking the pictures! And just a heads up we planted a “Greenville “G”" logo made of pansies and parsley in the circular bed in Howe Circle. You could probaly get a pretty good shot from the top of University!
Denton,
First of all, I would like to say you have stunning pictures. I live in Maryland/Virginia area right now and thinking to move there.
I have sent email to you regarding this. I am trying to gather some information about Greenville, SC.
And I know you are one of the best resources that I would like to have.
Again, these pictures that you have are amazing!
Thank you
First of all I love the photos you guys are takeing, I myself live in Metro Detroit and the weather here sucks right now. I am about to graduate at Oakland University and I am looking for places I would like to move to. I came across some information on Greenville and I ended up looking at your photos for over an hour. Your photos have got really excited about moving out there. I am so tired of living in a big city, and this looks like the ideal place for me.
Thanks for the inspiration
Hi Denton,
I was talking with Alice – Arrondan Daily- and she said to me that you can help me out with my template. I am trying to enlarge my pictures on my blog. I asked Alice how to do it and she wrote me this:
…
I did everything she said but I had one problem. Background color (it is hard to see it but it is not white.) of my sidebar didn’t
I am sorry to bother you with all of this but I tried everything.
Thank you
Seda
Seda, I have responded directly to your request via email. I hope the information helps.
Denton,
It was great to meet you this evening. Your site is wonderful and I think Asheville needs one like it. Please check out my site and offer feedback. I feel confident that you would offer great insight.
Thanks,
Karen Hemphill
Denton, I was just curious what kind of camera(s) you’re shooting with. Your pictures are just lovely. I grew up in Greenville and your photos help me not to miss home so much. My husband and I are currently living in Georgia, where he is stationed with the Navy. I hope one day to move back to my homeplace.
Karen, Asheville does have a daily photo site. However it is dormat and in bad need of a new photoblogger.
Coty, I take my photos with a Sony DSLR-A100k. The model has been replaced with Sony DSLR-A350k. I’m very pleased with the camera and highly recommend it. The shutter speed is exceptionally fast and the camera has a built in stabilizing feature … I enjoyed browsing your blog and seeing the photos of your life in George.
I Denton, thanks for that catch on my site. I guess I could have paid more attention to it, I read it and totally didnt read it, if that makes sense. I am not media, LOL.
Great informative blog with excellent photos! I enjoyed the photos of cars you’ve recently posted.
Thanks
Lori
Denton,
I happened across your blog, and just want to say you are a wonderful photographer!
I am an artist in St. Louis, and I am requesting permission to paint from one of your photos of a mom and three little girls crossing the street. I love this and it just said “Paint Me!”
I would definitely give you credit on my blog and link to your webpage.
I do sell my artwork on ebay and http://www.dailypainters.com.
My website is http://www.kaycrain.com
Thanks so much,
Kay Crain
Kay, I’m flatered you like my photos and yes you may paint the photo I posted on September 10, 2007 and called A mother and her children crossing the street.
Let me know when you have it posted.
…
Thanks for hosting all these websites. It’s great to see into other little corners of the world.
What a great site! I work for Falls Park Dentistry a new dental office that has opened on main street downtown. You’ll have to stop by and meet us!
Hello Denton;
Thanks for the wonderful comment on my street photo shoot a week ago and the plug about my studio. Would you mind stopping by my studio some time this week so we can chat?
Oliver Yu
Hello Denton,
I just wanted to let you know that I love your site! I am the Assistant Manager of the McBee Station Apartments in Downtown. I have referred your website to our new residents. We have alot of people from different areas that have relocated. This site shows them all the beauty of living downtown. I would love for you to stop by and see our wonderful community!
Tisha, thanks for your kind comments and for sharing our photoblog with newcomers to Greenville. We live in such a wonderful place and it is made even more enjoyable by sharing the experience … I’ll drop by in the next week or so and take a photo of McBee Station.
Denton,
I would love to meet you however I will be out of the office the Week of November 1st. Anytime after that will be perfect! I look forward to meeting you!!!
Denton & Connie~
I cannot thank you enough for your photo blog of Downtown Greenville! I have been enjoying it for over a year and it is the highlight of my day as I hope to relocate to Greenville in 2009!
Thanks again and take care!
Jodi
Just wanted you to know that every morning I open your website just to see what new pictures you are publishing. It has given me a new perspective of downtown Greenville, which I love! Thanks again for all you are doing with the pictures!
Peggy
I found your website about a year and a half ago, and have since enjoyed the way
your photos delve into every aspect of life, as we know it, in downtown Greenville, S.C..
I admire and respect your total commitment to making this project a success.
Well done Denton.
Thanks,
Rick Forest
Hi Denton,
You have really captured the city I love so much! If you are ever in need of having any of your photos printed on fabric or hard surfaces like tiles or cutting boards, I work for a digital print company here in Greenville. Keep up the great work!
[...] I am in Red River with family and will be visiting with brother Denton, who is also a DCPB [...]
Denton,
I am at my son and daughter-in-laws in Seattle. I was just resting up on of the few full weeks I have ever taken off. I decided to search for your name. Neat blog, Connie looks just like she always has and you have not changed much either.
I am the petroleum department manager for HOIC/SCE a farmers coop in central Iowa close to Des Moines. Denise is a retired teacher. Have 3 sons Lindsey, Kyler, and Jackson.
I will close for now.
Hi Lynn. Great to hear from you. If you join facebook I’ll share some family photos. Also, I’ll send you an email with family details .. It will be great to catch up.
Just ran across your website from a link provided by Brian Habig. I am a member at Downtown Pres but recently moved to Knoxville. Love reminiscing over Greenville through your photos!
