Bull Durham

December 12, 2012 | No comments yet

I have been meaning to do a panorama like this for a long time, but had been waiting for the right combination of weather. I wasn’t waiting for this particular weather, exactly, but I like the results. With our modern digital tools, making an image like this, which is actually 7 or 8 vertical frames […]

Scott + Noelle – Simply Love

November 20, 2012 | No comments yet

It is no secret that I am a big fan of the cooler months in North Carolina. Starting in late September or early October, I start to feel like I can venture outside again without being oppressed by humidity or eaten by mosquitoes. So it’s no surprise that I had a great time venturing out […]

The Beckers: Irrepressible, Supercharged, Family Love

September 30, 2012 | No comments yet

I shoot family photo sessions from time to time, and have always enjoyed meeting the parents and the kids, and watching them interact. A few years ago, I photographed the Beckers when there were only three, with little Owen just over a year old. Now he’s approaching three, and Noah and Shari have added adorable […]

Happy Fourth of July!

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 […]

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 […]

Sol Food Mobile Farm

May 9, 2012 | No comments yet

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 […]
