It’s Tuesday morning and my computer is currently crunching Bar Mitzvah photos, so it’s a good time to post some photos from our wonderful North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro. I’m pretty sure I have written before about how cool the zoo is, so I won’t repeat myself. Instead, I’ll mostly share photos and talk a […]
On the West Coast, when you’re trying to get from point A to point B with relative efficiency, chances are you’ll spend some time on I-5 (especially if you’re headed North or South). Cities like San Francisco, Sacramento, Portland, and Seattle are all strung together by this pretty ordinary, businesslike highway. With family and friends […]
I am not a stock photographer, as should be pretty obvious from this blog. Still, as a native Durhamite and a photographer, I have made a conscious effort to record some of the history and ambiance of the city I’ve called home all my life. Sometimes, I get inquiries about Durham photos to be used […]
Yeah, you read that right. No, you didn’t accidentally click over to foodnetwork.com. I really am writing about food. I don’t think it’s the first time, and it probably won’t be the last. I can’t help myself–I was struck with this inspiration while sitting down to eat, and well, you know I have a couple […]
In the middle of 2012, the Glasgows packed their bags and said goodbye to Brooklyn, New York, their hometown of many years, and set a course for the the opposite coast, landing in Oakland, California. Since I was visiting (and being graciously hosted by Amanda, Andrew, Leo and Jacob), they wanted some updated photos of […]
A year ago, a friend of mine posted on Facebook some of his photos from the 2012 Triangle Tweed Ride, an annual celebration of clothing, styles, and bikes from a bygone era, and part of the larger Oaks and Spokes bicycle festival. Set in Raleigh’s historic City Market, argyles, plaids, and spectacles mingle with iPhones, […]
Yesterday, I had a meeting with Jess Leff, the person behind my first class at West Point on the Eno. We discussed future classes and projects, and she mentioned the enthusiasm and positive feedback from the portrait photography class I taught in January. In the recap of that class, I solicited folks for feedback on […]
This blog has no real beginning–no inspiration, no epiphany, no “light bulb” moment. I’ve been going through older photos again, feeling what they evoke, allowing myself to be transported back to those specific moments. Creativity ebbs and flows, and even when it ebbs, sometimes you feel compelled to create. Sometimes you still have to make […]
Not a long post today, just a short note about being careful when you’re taking photos, especially when you are in a controlled environment and you have the time and ability to move things around. The shot above is from a recent shoot I did at Box-2B-Fit, a fitness-through-boxing gym in Raleigh, North Carolina. I […]
I’ll start by saying this was easily one of the most fun weddings I’ve ever been a part of, either as an attendee, as part of the wedding party, or as a photographer. Even better, as the photographer of this wedding, I was lucky to have in Jon and Kristen two people who were not […]
