Hello, is this thing on?

Yes, I know it's been awhile.  I'd like to use this outlet more. In the meantime:

Deanna

Bria and Christian at 35 weeks

Seeing a woman glow while pregnant is a beautiful thing especially if it's her first child. Wishing good health and love to you, Bria, your husband Juan and of course baby Christian. 

The Lonely Road

"I meet a lot of people on this journey but I always find myself on the path alone."

2015 has been a strange year. People revolving in and out at a dizzying pace and still 3 months to go. Oh to just back a bag and go for a long walk...

Harsh world harsh light

Oh look, color film. Just some expired Kodak PPF 400 shot in the Yashica. Carry on. 

The last days of summer

That bite. You know what I'm talking about. That chill, crispness in the air where you think you can almost see your breath. The humidity has dropped and the air gone dry. The transition begins. Enjoy what little warmth is left.

Elexa and my tree

I love this tree. Every time I go to Cedar Island I have to photograph someone on it. The windblown shape makes for great angles. When going to Cedar Island I get asked 2 things: do we get to shoot in the road and are we going to use the tree. More often than not both are a yes.

Oh how I miss the winter window light. It wasn't harsh. It had this soft, pleasing sip coffee by the window feel to it. It would be nice to have this kind of light year round but without the bitter weather. 

Beware the Wolf

A few weeks ago I made my way up to Greensboro for my daughter's high school graduation. While up there I made time to shoot with Danny Wolfchild. 

I think she was as giddy to meet me as I her. She has no issues getting wet or dirty to get the shot you want. I joked that if I ever moved back to Greensboro that I'd make her my muse. She was all for it. 

Cedar Island 2015

I made my first trip of the year out to Cedar Island with Alycia and Norma last week. They had been wanting to go for the longest time and they were like giddy kids at Christmas when we set up the excursion. As soon as we crossed over the bridge they said, in unison, "The road!".

We got a few shots on the marsh road. Traffic wasn't that bad but I wanted to get to the beach before the sun got too high. We got to play on my favorite tree. The horses from the ranch were out so we got as close as we could for some shots with them. 

It was a great trip and the girls had a blast. Plus being able to sunbathe fully nude was a new experience for them. Guess that's what happens when no one comes down to that end of the beach for about 3 hours.

Nubian Unicorn

I love when Em comes by. Her skin and her shape always photograph well. Plus she's always an eager subject and fun to work with.
