Falls Lake Reflections
I wish I had a better name for this photo, because it represents some of my favorite things about the South. I love the North Carolina clouds and spring thunderstorms. I’m not sure that I could live anywhere that didn’t have thunderstorms or, even though I swear I hate them, those muggy afternoons before the […]
More Than a Month of Monochrome
As a creative challenge, and because I LOVE black and white, I have decided to shoot/process all of my personal work for the rest of May and the whole month of June in monochrome. Maybe partly due to the announcement of the Leica M Monochrom (codename Henri–yes, that Henri) and partly because a short audit […]
Sol Food Mobile Farm
I have been struggling this evening with the subject of my next blog post, so I thought instead I might feature and promote The Sol Food Mobile Farm, the lifelong dream of my friend Eliza Bordley and three of her longtime friends, Dylan Hammond, Reid Rosemond, and Ellen Duda. I haven’t met Ellen, but the […]
The OM-D: A Sea Change, Part II
At the end of my last blog post, I found my writing devolving into a contradictory discussion of vision and creativity vs. equipment. The first half was about the OM-D and how it represents great technology and opportunity, and then went on to ramble and rant about how the equipment doesn’t really matter. It didn’t […]
The OM-D: A Sea Change, Part I
Okay, so the title of this one is a little bit punny. If you’ve followed my blog at all (there might be one or two people, or the voices in my head), you know that I have been looking for a small camera to replace the behemoths that I have carried around for the last […]
I Want to Get Out and Photograph Something…
…but I don’t know what to photograph. My life as a photographer usually involves periods of intense activity followed by fallow periods where I’m not shooting much. When I have photo gigs with clients, I have an objective, a subject, a theme. When I am shooting for myself, sometimes I am motivated by an idea, […]
Some Recent Photos
I have had a lot of gear and tech oriented blog posts recently, so this will not be one of them. I have another new camera that I have been playing with, and the savvy readers that want to know what it is will be able to figure out what it is. But I’ve decided […]
Spring is in the Air! Jennifer + Andy at Celebrity Dairy
It’s always enjoyable to photograph at Celebrity Dairy, whether it’s with my son to see the goats and chickens, or for a wedding, as it was on this gorgeous spring day. Brooke and the rest of the staff are so accommodating and professional, and help wedding coordinators like Chelsey Morrison of Gather Together and bakers […]
How is the 5D Mark III Light Leak Affecting Me?
I know, I know, ANOTHER post about the 5D Mark III. This one, though, I feel is important, because there appears to be some hysteria building on the internet about a light leak around the LCD that affects metering. I have shot thousands and thousands of trouble-free photos already and haven’t noticed any issues. Does […]
Blah Blah, I’m Tired of Hearing About the 5D!
I realize a lot of posts recently have been very gear-centric. I also realize that I have a tendency to go down that path, especially when I have something new to write about and talk about and generally annoy people about. I just wanted to say, rest assured, I have been out shooting as much […]
