Not Everything Needs to be “Beautiful”

December 11, 2012 | No comments yet

The wintertime is a favorite time for me to photograph. You have to dig a little deeper, you have to work a little harder. The days are short, the nights long. In North Carolina, the heat and humidity are gone and I feel like I can breathe, that I can move around comfortably. The colors […]

Happy Fourth of July!

July 4, 2012 | 2 comments

I haven’t gone to see fireworks in several years, and I have never tried to take photos of them. It’s always just been one of those things I like to experience, and unless they’re really well done, I just don’t love looking at photos of fireworks. Around here, there’s no water to reflect, or spectacular […]

An Explosion of Color

June 27, 2012 | No comments yet

One very important difference between color and monochromatic photography is this: in black and white you suggest; in color you state. Much can be implied by suggestion, but statement demands certainty… absolute certainty. – Paul Outerbridge Yes, I am perfectly capable of reading a calendar. I see that it is still June. But my self-imposed […]

Always Photograph For Yourself

June 5, 2012 | One comment

Though you may find yourself shooting photos for other people, always remember to shoot for yourself as well. Find those things that compelled you to pick up a camera in the first place. Photograph things that you love, and don’t worry if anyone else will love them. Remember that even though you have a hundred […]

A Month of Monochrome: First Impressions

May 30, 2012 | No comments yet

A little over two weeks ago, I declared that for all my personal work, I would shoot in black and white exclusively. So far, I’ve kept to it, for the most part. I have over a month to go, but have already taken a number of photos in various types of monochrome. So far, I’ll […]

Fun Day at the Lazy 5 Ranch

May 23, 2012 | No comments yet

Yes, yes, I know–that title image is in color, when I just recently wrote that I was going to shoot in black and white exclusively for more than a month. The purpose of placing such a creative limitation on yourself is to force you out of a comfort zone, force you to look at things […]

Falls Lake Reflections

May 16, 2012 | No comments yet

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 […]

How is the 5D Mark III Light Leak Affecting Me?

April 14, 2012 | No comments yet

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!

April 11, 2012 | No comments yet

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 […]
