The Ubiquitous Lens

March 24, 2013 | No comments yet

I haven’t been to our nation’s capital in about ten years. The last time I was here was before the iPhone, before the iPad, before the avalanche of digital cameras, large and small, simple and sophisticated, in the world marketplace. I’m sure everyone was snapping away then on their film cameras and early digital back […]

March 19, 2013 | No comments yet

Beauty, brawn, panache–they were all on display this past Saturday, March sixteenth at the First Annual Durham Beard and Mustache Contest at Bull McCabe’s in Downtown Durham. In addition to a great group of men and women sporting all varieties of facial hair, the League of Upper Extremity Wrestling Women of Durham (L.U.E.W.W.D) was also […]

Another Great Day at the Zoo

March 12, 2013 | No comments yet

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 […]

The Ebb and Flow

February 27, 2013 | No comments yet

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 […]

Fog

It was unusually foggy yesterday afternoon and this morning, so I took the opportunity to get some ethereal photographs of the weather.

  Jemmel, Sherisa and I have been trying hard to make this shoot happen, since time is running out before the baby arrives. Fortunately, we found some time and got some photos of a glowing mother and father-to-be!

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 […]

Month of Monochrome: Progress Report

June 13, 2012 | No comments yet

Just wanted to report that my month+ of shooting black and white for all my personal work is still going strong, though I’ve snuck a color image or two in there because the colors were so epic and I couldn’t resist. I’ve also used black and white for some paid work, just not exclusively. Hope […]

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 […]

Walk Along the Eno

June 4, 2012 | No comments yet

No musings today, just a monochrome from a walk along the Eno River in Durham. The colors were so pretty this day it was hard to shoot only in black and white, but I like the results. At least 94% of what I enjoy about this photo is that I took it as part of […]
