The wonderful thing about traveling for work is that it can serve as a neat excuse to see other sights. The first few times I went to New Mexico was in 2005 and I fell in love with the area, inspiring a trip to Colorado and Utah a couple of years later. I got exactly 30 minutes of sleep before
One of the neat things about having Bennett Strahan as a client is that he’s also a former boss, so we already have a solid working relationship that’s spanned almost six years. Last month, I flew out West to document one of his designs, a 5500 s.f. residence in the remote desert mountains of northern New Mexico. In shooting it,
I was in Greenville, North Carolina to drop off one of my works for a show at the Emerge Gallery. On the way back to Raleigh I decided to take the rural scenic route back home. As an architectural professional with a client in the area, I was familiar with the region and rediscovered an abandoned house near old US-64.
Thursday, June 11 – Friday, June 12 I stayed in Pittsburgh for one more day. Oh…did I mention that it rained ALL DAY? It cleared up for about 2-3 hours enough for me get some overall city shots below: (click here for a larger view) From Pittsburgh I traveled through scattered showers down to Charleston, West Virginia where I couchsurfed
First and most importantly…HEY DAD! I hadn’t done a lengthy road trip since my Colorado/Utah trip in 2007 and this seemed ample opportunity to do so, and having one of my best friends get married seemed ample excuse to launch what totaled to 2369 miles of a glorious, breath-taking, unbelievable amount of … …rain. Just warning you, there’s a lot
Okay, I’m a little behind with these photo blogs. After publicly harassing him, Reuben decided to join me in a morning jaunt to Greensboro and Winston-Salem. It was fun, we talked a lot of photography and we’re certainly going to have to do it again. Shooting with others is certainly a different dynamic than going solo. And as always seems
Friday Thrifty (2009) I was going to originally leave Thursday but had too many household items to tidy up. I arrived into Savannah on Friday morning, crossed the Talmedge Bridge and immediately got in trouble with the Feds. Well, okay, not in trouble trouble – but if you’re coming from the north, you’ll notice the heavy industrial district on the
May 9, 2009: Raleigh to Goldsboro, North Carolina I had been planning a Raleigh-Goldsboro trip for a few weeks and asked my friend Reuben if he was interested in joining up. We used to work together and had been meaning to shoot together for awhile. However, with my job situation up in the air and an exam the upcoming Wednesday,
This is my last bit of photography before buckling down for my next exam. Those of you familiar with my stunning lack of progress with my exams should be shocked. It boiled down to either seeing where this photography thing is going while the iron was still hot or completely give it up for the sake of knocking out my
Wednesday, March 18, 2009: East North Carolina My boss Andy and I were out in east North Carolina on a project. I had a few minutes of downtime and couldn’t resist taking a non-work related photo – what can I say, I’m an addict. Highway 64 (2009) Friday March 20 – Saturday March 21: North Georgia I had put in
Spring fever I think has bit me with the photography bug. So with spring in full bloom I felt inspired to get off my rear and do some photography around downtown Raleigh. Some of it was revisiting familiar subject matter (like the spiral staircase), but others was shooting new architecture and urban scenes I hadn’t approached before. After ten years
Finally in North Carolina, the weatherman gave what thousands of spam messages sitting in our junk mail folders could not – the extra few inches that everyone craved. Growing up north I never got excited about snow, except once in awhile, we’d get a delayed opening or a day off. As I became a teenager it was frigid white stuff
