Boom Town

Rocket City, South Of The Border, Dillon, S.C.

I've always lived in a state where the purchase of high-grade fireworks is illegal. This has made for some phenomenal road trips and big receipts, "because you never know when we'll make it back again."

Mt. Moriah

A film negative really does posses magic. It can fill you with all sorts of doubt. Then it rewards your diligence and renews your faith in the original form. For a moment, this shoot with the righteous Mt. Moriah was unusually tense as the wayward leaning church pictured in the background sounded like it was going to collapse with all of us inside of it. I thought of photographer Richard Nickle and the moment before the Chicago Stock Exchange came crashing down upon him.

I found the stacks of simple river stones used to support the church fascinating. Surely they would not forsake us; though I did refrain from any outward expressions of blasphemy just to be sure.

Summer Fashion

Summer in Durham means droves of modern dancers can be found skipping across intersections and riding around in brightly colored buses. A few donated their time to try on some interesting fashions for a recent shoot.

TRKfest Music Festival

TRKfest 2009

The fine folks at Trekky Records put on a delightful music festival with a line-up comprised of all local music. There was also free haircuts, musical chairs and a pants-off dance-off. Looking forward to next year's show.
