North Carolina Vernacular

Tripping through North Carolina countryside has become one of my favorite (and slightly scary) things to do, especially since I started shooting pictures 10 years ago. I had a free weekend off so spent an afternoon checking out local rural haunts. One find was an abandoned house in Holly Springs. Nothing really interested me about the outside or most of

North Carolina Architectural Photography – Neuse River Greenway

Not much of a summary here, I was contacted by Stewart Inc., an engineering and planning design firm based in North Carolina to capture photographs of specific items in a particular section of the Neuse River Greenway in Raleigh. The challenge was to blend the professional appearance of architectural photography with the artistic sensibilities of landscape photography. Neat little job.

NVF Factory in Yorklyn, Delaware

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

Abandoned North Carolina – In and Out

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.

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
