At Central Park with the Glasgows
I always get nervous when I am photographing someone I know or that I am related to. Even though I know I’m a good photographer, I am thrown into an unfamiliar situation where I have very little control over the light, the energetic children, the setting, etc. Then there are the expectations. These are people […]
Spring is Here!
Since the weather’s been nice, it was Hanna’s idea to get the kids all gussied up and out for a photoshoot. I’m usually game since I obviously like shooting photos, and one’s own children and/or the children of friends provide great opportunities for practice. Today’s shoot was not ideal in many ways, but what doesn’t […]
Golden Belt and the Hosiery Mill
Through the blog on the Durham Skate Park, the Durham Convention and Visitors Bureau contacted me because there were interested in some of my photos. Since I love showing off my photos and my hometown, I jumped at the opportunity to share my work. Now I’m looking forward to working with them more and showcasing […]
Mount Shasta
Not a big deal, really, but I was pleased that the above shot won “Shot of the Day” on Earthshots.org, a daily photo contest site that mostly features the beauty and wonder of the natural world. As I am primarily a portrait photographer, I don’t usually have much to submit to them, but I do […]
A Change of Pace
I started this website for my portrait and wedding photography, and people are primarily what I shoot. However, every creative person needs a break, and needs a way to keep things fresh. This week, I’m visiting my mother in Ashland, Oregon, where I am treated to the above view from my bedroom window — yes, literally! I […]
The Beckers
It seems like a long, long time ago now, but I went to high school with Shari Liv. Now, just a few years later, Shari has accumulated a beautiful family. I feel very lucky to have reconnected with the Beckers a few years ago, and have enjoyed getting to know Noah and their new son, […]
Yates Mill – Raleigh, NC
I am a big fan of old mills, and old buildings generally, so I took a drive out to Raleigh to check out the Yates Mill off of Lake Wheeler Road. Even though the weather was gloomy, I got some nice shots of the mill, especially the spillway and the millrace. I also had an […]
Annabel
I am looking forward to the day when Annabel starts more reliably smiling, but I felt like Hanna and I got a good photo of her today. Thanks for the help, Hanna!
Eli at 28
Hanna, Isaac and I went over to Eli and Amanda’s for Eli’s 28th birthday, and were treated to potato and leek soup, pizza, the birthday cake above, and, as always, great company. Happy Birthday, Eli!
At the Durham Skate Park
Durham, impressive in its rennaissance of downtown, saw fit not only to designate an area for a central park and a thriving farmer’s market, but also deemed a small but impressive skate park worth $500 grand… yes, that’s right, five hundred thousand bucks for a SKATE PARK. I have been meaning to go check it […]
