Welcome to Part FIVE of my personal July travel, in which I’ll give you a break from urban exploration to hit the Pennsylvania countryside, specifically York County. Check out my previous photos from the same trip under the following blog posts: Part 1: NVF Factory in Yorklyn, Delaware Part 2: I Finally Went to Prison for Photography Part 3: Pennsylvania
Beach vacations are for sissies. This is part four of a recent series of blogs detailing recent vacation travel, focusing on the specific area surrounding Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Before we get started, some pimping of previous blogs in the series: Part 1: NVF Factory in Yorklyn, Delaware Part 2: I Finally Went to Prison for Photography Part 3: Pennsylvania UrbEx –

If you’ve been following my blog, you know I took some personal time in July to visit family, friends, and do a bit of road travel. In the event you missed the lead-in blog, you can see it here: Part 1: NVF Factory in Yorklyn, Delaware I sort of wish I picked up photography long before I did. There are
I was recently on the road for two weeks through the north- and mid-Atlantic and have returned to North Carolina to stay for awhile. The first blog about this trip was the NVF (National Vulcanized Fiber) Plant in Yorklyn, Delaware. It was part of a Steven Gottlieb’s Horizons Photography Workshop (Look at that, free double-promotion! Can’t beat that, Steve.) planned
Made a last second impulse trip to another North Carolina mill town. Didn’t as much time on my hands as I hoped for, so I ducked into two abandoned locations and documented some stuff in between…including this vehicle. Turns out framing this photo was my favorite image of the entire trip. I really enjoy shooting pictures that invoke a sense
When I have a bunch of professional and art photography commitments, particularly when traveling it can be difficult to catch a break, so I catch them on the road with my camera. Since turning pro, my efficiency in capturing photos with a limited timeframe has drastically shortened – out of necessity. The following photos I captured to and from locations
One of the neat things in my transition from architecture to architectural photography is that I’ve had a chance to work with friends and former peers in a way I didn’t before. Last month I had the pleasure to shoot a residential design addition for Jessica Hindman and Studio H Home Design in Charlotte, North Carolina. We were classmates in
I’m really close with my father, a part of my life I increasingly appreciate and treasure with age. The photo below, captured when I was age four, exemplifies that relationship, particularly in my early years. I’m cheesing it up for the camera so badly that you can’t even see Dad behind my fro, right? That’s the way he liked it
Earlier this year, I performed the architectural photography of the Corcoran Parking Deck in Durham, NC. A few months later I was hired by Integrated Design to photograph the Valentine Commons parking deck at the edge of North Carolina State University in Raleigh (I’m noticing a pattern here…) So this deck had its own particular challenges. Namely: It’s north-facing There’s

In case you don’t understand plain English, get a translator: please do NOT contact me for the location of this facility, THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS. Thank you. This is the second part of what may be perhaps the best abandoned playground I’ve had the pleasure to explore with camera in hand. So after
Attention! Atención! Attenzione! Pozornost! 注意! انتباه! Dareenka! In case you don’t understand plain English, get a translator: please do NOT contact me for the location of this facility, THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS. Thank you. Sometimes you just get plain lucky.
