“Return” – In the midst of a storm, Sullivan’s Island, SC

A buddy was visiting from DC just a couple of days ago and we decided to try to get out and shoot sunrise on one of the mornings he was here. He shoots music mostly these days but was really interested in getting out to Folly Beach. I can never turn down […]

Endless – Pamlico Sound, Outer Banks (OBX), NC

On a recent trip to the Outer Banks, I met up with fellow photographer Athena Carey. Her work of clean and serene monochrome long exposures is such an inspiration to me. So while I was with her I had to try to create some B&W long exposures. Check out her stuff […]

Morning light filters through the battered pier on the South end of Hatteras in the Outer Banks of NC. I spent a few days up there during the summer heat camping and exploring with friends. The Outer Banks is filled with incredible sights and a wild coast only tamed […]

Summer on the Blue Ridge Parkway

What better way to escape the heat and enjoy the outdoors than by heading to the highest elevation in the area. Tommy White and I scheduled a Landscape photography workshop on the Blue Ridge Parkway and I scheduled a family vacation shortly after to effectively get a chance to get away. Even […]

Morning Glow

Sullivan’s Island, SC

Bleached white oysters welcome the warming sun as they bask in a little tidal pool. Usually I see dark black oyster shells out in the water. This little pool of brilliant white shells was captivating.

The contrast of light on this scene was incredible. At least 8 stops difference between the […]

Tranquility at Lake Moultrie

John and I ventured out to Lake Moultrie to capture these incredible cypress trees in the water. The water levels were nice and high and the sun was setting at a great angle to the trees which made for excellent conditions. We got there early and made our way down the dirt […]

I went out to the beach as Tropical Storm Andrea came overhead. I had heard that the swells would be 8+ feet and I had to see that. We always get an influx of surfers and it makes for some excellent entertainment even in a little rain. The wind was howling […]
