I recently had the pleasure of photographing the new Hospira building in Rocky Mount, North Carolina for Integrated Design. It was a very intricate and detailed process that began in August and ended four months later in December. The building took four different calendar days to shoot and I’ll describe this with a little more detail than my usual blog.
Took a brief trip up to Pennsylvania in order to photograph the famous Ashley Huber Coal Breaker before it gets torn down. The day before a fellow explorer from Pennsylvania, whom I’d meet later that evening in Bethlehem, pointed me to an old juvenile detention facility for some “warmup exploration”. Getting inside served as a good reminder that I need
Remember a month ago where I was talking about my group trip to West Virginia? Okay, so this is where we were going – the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum (also known as Weston State Hospital) in Weston.

I was recently commissioned to capture photographs of a private residence in Tabor City, North Carolina featuring General Shale masonry products. The weather has been so horrible lately, I was deeply relieved the sun broke through for a few hours! The homeowner – fantastic guy, great family – was perfect to coordinate with. These are the six images I delivered.
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
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.
