Strange Fruit . . .

The American Dance Festival is the country's premier modern dance festival, held each year at Duke. This year we hosted a remarkable student from the Dominican Republic - Ms. Eva Martin. Along with sharing her endless curiosity for all things, melon smoothies and theories about the art of "flowing," Eva and I collaborated on a series of photographs revolving around the concept of Whole Essence. I shot a number of photographs on infrared film, but here is one digital capture that seems to get at the idea of being "one with your environment."

The old Bulls . . .

I've been working on an essay about the 20th anniversary of Bull Durham - mainly photographing the old stadium where the film was shot and the new stadium where the Bulls play today.

Brotherly Love . . .

This week the Independent published a cover story about the Avett Brothers - expertly crafted by Mr. Grayson Currin. Using photographs of the band from past performances and a three night stretch of their tour in late June, I created a multimedia deal to accompany story.

Alongside The Allegheny

A storm blew in during an Avett Brothers' show in Pittsburgh. This young lady was seeking out the heat of a steam vent downtown. The band played on through the rain. Naturally.

Tobacco Land . . .

Through This Lens gallery in Durham will present an solo exhibition of my work about the Ligget & Myers tobacco factory complex as it was being converted into a massive residential and commercial development called West Village II. This is a project that I've been working on for the past two and a half years. The opening will be on Oct. 17th and there will be approximately 20 prints hung on the wall. There is a lot of work to be done between now and then, but then again I work best under a deadline.
