Awwww, I missed my moved-to-North-Carolina anniversary! It was seven years ago this past Saturday. Cheers, Chapel Thrill. You kick ass.

unc vs duke double dare
If you’d told me, six months ago, that I’d get a chance to hang around shooting Mark Summers hosting a UNC vs Duke Double Dare Challenge — where a good number of participants were too young to have ever watched the original show on Nickelodeon — I probably would have just smirked at you, because…
green purple white pink green
Spring busted out all over in the NC this week.
in like a lion
March is my favorite month in North Carolina, because unlike in Minneapolis and Chicago and even Baltimore, spring actually happens here in March. There’s cold days, and there’ll be another cold snap, probably, but the sun starts to shine and the flowers start to bloom and winter starts to retreat, and it all makes me…
empty bowls durham
My buddy Matt from Speakers In Code chaired the committee that organized the Empty Bowls event for Durham this year; it’s a grassroots benefit to help end hunger, and in Durham benefits Urban Ministries, an organization I think quite highly of, as I work with them extensively in my day job life. Matt traded me…

sinful savage tigers @ jessee’s
I don’t usually like shooting outside — the backgrounds are odd, light isn’t always usable, there are bugs and it’s hot and the list goes on — but there’s something lovely and perfect about shooting a band playing a totally unamplified set during the golden hour, like Sinful Savage Tigers did on Sunday evening towards…
hills and valleys
The first farmer’s market shots of the year.
hungry heart of gold: neil young vs. bruce springsteen
Like last year’s Petty vs. Dylan covers benefit show, last night’s Neil Young vs. Bruce Springsteen benefit show played to a full house; a very full house, in fact. Which is a great thing, because shows like this are always a great time — I like them for the chance to see locals I might…
