I Want to Get Out and Photograph Something…

April 26, 2012 | One comment

…but I don’t know what to photograph. My life as a photographer usually involves periods of intense activity followed by fallow periods where I’m not shooting much. When I have photo gigs with clients, I have an objective, a subject, a theme. When I am shooting for myself, sometimes I am motivated by an idea, […]

Some Recent Photos

April 21, 2012 | No comments yet

I have had a lot of gear and tech oriented blog posts recently, so this will not be one of them. I have another new camera that I have been playing with, and the savvy readers that want to know what it is will be able to figure out what it is. But I’ve decided […]

Spring is in the Air! Jennifer + Andy at Celebrity Dairy

April 18, 2012 | One comment

It’s always enjoyable to photograph at Celebrity Dairy, whether it’s with my son to see the goats and chickens, or for a wedding, as it was on this gorgeous spring day. Brooke and the rest of the staff are so accommodating and professional, and help wedding coordinators like Chelsey Morrison of Gather Together and bakers […]

The Durham Skatepark and the 5D Mark III

March 31, 2012 | No comments yet

I like to shoot at the Durham skatepark, especially with a new camera with much-talked about autofocus, because it is a nice mix of action and environmental portraiture. I like the skater aesthetic, I like the customized and weathered boards, I like the tattoos, the scabs, the banter. It’s a good test for autofocus, as […]

Taking a Step Back

March 19, 2012 | No comments yet

Today is going to be a little bit of a continuation of what I wrote after Tracy Turpen’s death a few months ago. I realize that was the moment when my renewed initiative to post regularly went by the wayside. I don’t think it’s cause and effect, exactly, but it gave me some perspective, and […]

Ninth Street Derby – The Wellspring Criterium Resurrected!

February 27, 2012 | 7 comments

When I was a kid, a local Durham grocery used to host an annual Criterium. I never saw any of those races, but I remember all of the great Criterium posters that Wellspring used to have up in its store, and always thought that urban bike races would be pretty neat to see. Wellspring became […]

Jessica + Tim – Wedding Day!

December 7, 2011 | No comments yet

Once we get into the fall, everything always gets a little crazy as we head into the holidays. In October, I had the privilege of photographing Jessica and Tim’s wedding at the Flanders Art Gallery in Raleigh. Even though their wedding was well in advance of the holidays proper, crazy could definitely apply to the […]

Mmmmmm, Brains! Zombies Lurch in Durham’s Central Park

October 29, 2011 | One comment

I have to admit, I have a soft spot for zombies. Yet, somehow, I’ve never made it to a Zombie Lurch before this year. I was determined to make it this time for Durham’s Fifth Annual Zombie Lurch. I was delighted to see a good-sized crowd, and some wonderful, creative costumes. I’ll let the undead […]
