embarrassing fruits @ TRKfest 2009
embarrassing fruits @ TRKfest 2009, originally uploaded by minervacat. TRKFest was a highlight of 2009 for me; tomorrow, after the US soccer game, we’ll do it all over again in 2010. Read about the festival here and then get your butt out to Pittsboro tomorrow to catch the whole thing. I recommend bringing sunscreen, water,…
hillsborough hog days
hillsborough hog days, originally uploaded by minervacat. This goat was comfortable: he was pretty sure that he wasn’t going to be eaten at an event called Hog Days.

Beer Fest, even tempered by mid-afternoon rain, is always a good time. And a photographic paradise!
carrboro farmer’s market
carrboro farmer’s market, originally uploaded by minervacat. Of all the 12,000 photos I have on Flickr, dating back to 2003 when I got my first digital camera, I think that my Carrboro Farmer’s Market set best shows how I’ve grown up as a photographer; because it’s a set of a manageable size, but it’s also…
unc: gargoyles for beating duke.
unc: gargoyles for beating duke., originally uploaded by minervacat. Dean Smith made basketball a religion in our family, rivaled only by Presbyterianism, barbeque, and the Democratic Party. For many years, our dream scenario had gone something like this: Dean beats archrival Duke and its coach, the detested Mike Krzyzewski, for the national championship in April,…
