“Layers” – Oconaluftee Overlook, NC

Bands of brilliant color glide through the sky as the sun makes its final approach. An incredible quiet morning above the trees Tommy and I watched the morning light descend on the valley. A couple of guys sat in their truck nearby as they remote controlled a GoPro further down the valley. They were […]

The Boneyard At High Tide

This place is overwhelming and as you can see extremely difficult to get pleasing compositions. The huge amount of trees on the beach are tough to work with and finding isolation is key.
To get this far down the beach I had to bushwack through the high tide water line of downed trees and living […]

Sound Reflections – Hamlin Sound

This morning I got up early and checked the weather. Cloud cover looked perfect for sunrise anywhere up and down the coast and after a quick check of the tides I decided to head out to the marsh. Low tide was in a couple of hours which meant that I wouldn’t get stranded anywhere […]

“Beyond” – Botany Bay, Edisto SC

Beyond the horizon, off into the East, away from the cities and lights the skies open up and everything becomes clear.

This is a personal favorite of mine that I had neglected to share on here.  It was captured early one morning on the beach of Botany Bay on Edisto Island.  It was so dark […]

The coastal errosion of the barrier island offers many photographic opportunities.  Here is one from Edisto Island.  These trees are fascinating and they continue to stand in there relentless determination against the […]

“Enchanted Lane” – Edisto, SC

Dogwoods in full bloom line this old lane through the oaks. A step back in time.

This was captured back in March during full on Spring.  It was green green green as you can.  I had taken a client out to the beach and we were riding our bikes back down the dirt road.  At this […]

“Night Strolling” – Isle of Palms, SC

A gorgeous evening for a stroll under the stars. This was shot directly towards downtown Charleston and straight into all the light pollution. In a twisted way I really like the color and light that it adds.

I was suprised to see so much flooding on Isle of Palms, probably due to the super high […]
