When I planned this latest trip, I knew I’d hit Memphis and Dallas, but noticed there was this state in-between: Arkansas. What in the world is in THAT state? So I asked my Facebook. After several people suggested driving through without stopping, many friends stepped in to make recommendations, which launched my planning for visiting the northwest part of the
So I recently took a two-week road trip that I will completely present out of order. The first stop is Memphis, TN in which I stopped briefly on the way in and stayed for a weekend on the way back to Carolina. My friend, Jerry Coleman graciously hosted me and it was great to catch up with him and meet
A dilapidated building that’s condemned is pretty much an invitation to go inside, right?
Of course it does, Sterling – of course it does.
This is part two of my recent sprint to New Jersey and back. You may see my previous blog at: Part 1 – Exit through Camden So after spending the day in luxurious Camden, I hopped over to the Philly side. As I crossed over I received my first phone call from a potential client I had been speaking with
I recently visited my home state of New Jersey, pausing for a few stops along the way and back in a 1500 mile round trip. I was turned onto a renovated gas station in Elmer, NJ by another photographer and decided to take a side trip on the way to my parents’ house. Elevating over downtown Elmer is a large
Woohoo, my 101st blog post! When I began this blog I was purely an amateur fine art photographer who practiced architecture as my full-time job. Four years later I’m a professional photographer who does a bit of architecture on the side. The bittersweet part of becoming professional is that I rarely get to shoot all the things I purely shoot for fun. So on the occasion I have that chance, I certainly savor the moment. It’s been a busy summer with many jobs and a lot of travel on the behalf of my clients. These are a few photos I’ve managed to capture in between.
Okay, so – one of my new clients is Weaver Cooke Construction. I’ve been on assignment shooting a wide range of projects for them, the most intensive was the Natuzzi USA headquarters located in downtown furniture district in High Point, North Carolina. How do I say this – it’s built like a boat. No, really – take a look for
In the middle of February after some work-related travel, I visited the grounds of the Stonewall Jackson Youth Development Center in Concord. A couple of weeks later, I used more work travel as an excuse to venture inside some of the buildings (yessssssss Mary, I was careful). However I’ve been so busy that it’s taken about a month and a
Yup yet another blog! I stumbled upon the remnants of the old Stonewall Jackson Youth Development Center in Concord, North Carolina, during work travel. I typically try to take a little time to myself on my birthday but had to work that day – including traveling through this area. So as a birthday present to myself, I shot photography for
After heading downtown to shoot the new AIA building and Archdale buildings a few days earlier, Friday proved to be an overcast, windy day. I looked outside, had a bit of time and figured it would be a good chance to revisit those sites and walk a bit in downtown Raleigh. Friday was an overcast, windy day which I figured
Finally, the first blog of the year! It’s been a very busy and productive start to 2012 so I’ll be blogging very intermittently. I’ve been traveling a bunch between Durham and downtown Raleigh, so during some down time the past couple of days for some quick evening long-exposures. Zoom zoom! This is the Quintiles headquarters building in Durham off the
Last week I joined the Cary Photographic Artists on a shoot hosted by Wayne Dockery in Clayton, North Carolina. I’m rarely in Clayton and certainly haven’t explored it much but now I’m determined to do so more often. There are many rural treasures including this roadside heap of oxidized junk scattered into the trees. It reminded me of the hundreds
