Last spring a good photographer friend stumbled across a collapsing barn in southern Virginia. When she e-mailed me about it, I instantly knew I’d eventually have to see it for myself. For the first time in five months, I had two days to exclusively focus on personal photography, concentrating on a few abandoned locations in North Carolina and Virginia –
Last year was so busy that during the last five months of 2014, I totalled less than 8 hours of personal shoot time, all while traveling between assignments or the rare break while working. So for the first time since July, I took two days off to travel between North Carolina and Virginia to scratch a few abandoned locations off
Okay! Two house residential additions to share, the Nesbitt and Greenway residences. Nesbitt was designed by my friend and owner of Studio H Home Design, Jessica Hindman. We recently begun working with each other last year and she’s been a real joy to work with. As you can tell from her design work, it doesn’t take much convincing for me
There’s been frenetic years but this is by far the busiest I’ve ever had in the five years since establishing my company. The question I most asked is “Do you get to have fun?” It makes me a tad uncomfortable since taking picture for a living IS fun, but I know what they mean. I don’t nearly photograph for myself
My blogs are becoming a little South Carolina-heavy lately, aren’t they?

The first was the Sullivan’s Island Elementary School and the latter is the Charleston County Law Enforcement Center located in N. Charleston. Sullivan’s Island Elemntary School (SIES) Having recently photographed a couple of schools, I’ve learned that dealing with grade schools are
In September, the fall architectural photography season begun with my first assignment for new architectural clients, Little. I photographed one of their recent interior designs in Durham at Clarkston Consulting, where they love themselves some blue and yellow. Took me some time during my fledgling career, but I finally figured how to successfully photograph these sort of conference rooms without

When I observed it’s been two months since my blog I suddenly realized, Oh hey, I forgot about my short SC trip. Late August I photographed in Charleston on behalf of one of my commercial real-estate clients. September has been VERY busy on the professional front, so there will be a few more blogs as 2014 wraps up. Early morning
About a year ago during a phone conversation with my Mom, she asked fraught with concern, “Have you thought about getting a hobby? You shoot photographs all the time.” Not only does this encapsulate my relationship with mother but also reflects that I lived a very blessed life in that I get paid for what I truly enjoy doing –
I was hired by several parties to photograph the new Cary Theater located in downtown Cary, North Carolina – Quinn Evans Architects out of Washington DC, artists Lynn Basa out of Chicago and McConnell Studios in Raleigh. I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with working with multiple parties on one project and everyone was awesome to work with. “The Cary”
I had been traveling relatively often on assignment but had still managed to capture spare photos here and there. These images were taken across four states in a matter of two weeks.
