Autumn at Falls Lake
I’m back after a week looking for a solid image of autumn at Falls Lake North Carolina. The colors weren’t quite what I expected
Happy Easter
Happy Easter. Stay safe, but celebrate the light that glows in loved ones, shines in neighbors and radiates warmth from unexpected strangers. Whether you’re religious or not, make today a celebration of the wonderful people who surround you. Positive thoughts and actions will part this storm. Keep the faith and I hope you have a […]
Outdoor Portraits—Raeford NC Style
Studio work is fun and fulfilling, but nothing compares to outdoor photography. The challenge is balancing strobes with sunlight to pull the subject out—but then I consider math my friend. In this case, the couple wanted outdoor photos. Unfortunately, a cloudless sky at about 3 in the afternoon presented a challenge. Even my bare-bulb Bolt […]
Raeford North Carolina Christmas Decorations
Raeford Noirth Carolina Christmas decorations on Main Street showcase rural America’s holiday spirit—tasteful, not overdone.
Jack O’Lantern was found dead
Jack O’Lantern was found dead this morning by joggers in Raeford, NC, sometime around dawn. The Mayor expressed shock upon learning the area’s favorite fall visitor—a colorful and beloved character who sat quietly on his porch and smiled at everyone—met his demise on the mean streets of Hoke County. Blunt force trauma is listed […]
Pisgah covered bridge haunted?

This Pisgah National Forest stream may not have a name, but I’m glad my […]
Sunset Over Great Falls Montana
I’m back from a short assignment and captured this decent sunset over Great Falls Montana. It’s not spectacular, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed it starts your evening with the same peaceful calm. The scenery there is spectacular, the people wonderful and my four-day trip too short—particularly since I spent two of them in airports […]
Velvet on a young whitetail buck’s antlers
Elvis sightings are more common here in North Carolina’s Hoke County than finding a mature whitetail deer to photograph. Velvet on a young whitetail buck’s antlers is still fulfilling when you capture it on an image, though, even if the big bruisers are scarce. A nice pose makes it a keeper. This one came in […]
Grandio greenhouse at night with stars
Capturing our Grandio greenhouse at night with stars in a fashion that showcases the evening sky, yet somehow communicates a well-lit and inviting structure is tougher than I thought. I went Strobist, but in this case, harnessed the power of Photoshop layers. I’m confident you’ll agree my past attempt at getting an evening shot fell […]
