These days in North Carolina it’s typically hot, hazy, and humid – no fun to shoot in, and certainly not the most pleasant looking either. Then it cools off by about 5-8 degrees (that’s about all it takes), there’s a light breeze and the clouds above get to moving a bit faster. While driving around running errands yesterday afternoon, I
Well now that I’m back on the ground in Raleigh for the past few months, I’ve been concentrating on developing my business here. Which means not only are the “for fun” shots are few and far between, I don’t even bother looking at them until a month later. So these are from sometime in the middle of June. The first
Woo! Three days in St. Louis was fun. Got to see several friends while in town, eat at Pappy’s steakhouse, down three custards at Ted Drewes, satisfy my White Castle craving, get off some urban exploration and attend my buddy Jim’s wedding. Who the heck is Jim? Alright. For those of you who don’t know, there’s an arch thing in
Last month I made a short trip back to New Jersey and visit my parents and old neighborhood friends. Along the way and back I stopped in Baltimore and DC area to see several friends. These are some of the pics below: ROLESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA BALTIMORE, MARYLAND Most of the trip was cloudy and rainy, resulting in some moody B&W’s.

Okay, okay. I said this was going to be a four part blog. I lied. It’ll be more like five or six parts. Sue me. Part 1 – The In Between – rural photography off the highway Part 2 – Three cities, three structures – brief stops in Dayton, Indianapolis, Madison I walked through downtown Milwaukee a few times, took
This is part 2 of 4 regarding my recent two-week 3000 mile road trip. To see the previous blog, see below: Part 1 – The In Between – rural photography off the highway DAYTON, OHIO The issue with traveling through so many cities was that as much as I would’ve enjoyed staying long periods of times in these cities to
Okay, so I drove 3027 miles. On the way up and back I drove through Charleston, WV, Dayton, OH, Indianapolis, IN, Milwaukee, WI, Madison WI, Chicago, IL, Lousiville, KY, Lexington, KY, and Knoxville, TN. As you’ll read further in this and consecutive blogs, I didn’t necessarily stop through all of these cities, or even take photos in every city I
For a city relatively close in proximity, I certainly don’t spend enough time in Charlotte! In March, I visited a few friends, had a commercial shoot, and during my spare time got off some snapshots downtown. I roamed around the city scoping future skyline shots for future visits and walked downtown a bit, focusing on the museum district, especially the
By early March, I was near the tail end of my contract work and determined to spend more time in North Carolina. To wrap up some of my travel: ROCKY MOUNT, NC I would like to spend more time in this town in the near future. There’s a nice historic downtown and plenty of industrial facilities I’d like to explore
Normal people spend New Year’s Eve in some metropolitan area counting down to the upcoming calendar year. I am clearly not normal and spent it in central Tennessee and western Kentucky. The biggest surprise of my venture into photography is an affinity towards the rural condition and this was the first real opportunity I had in a couple of years
