I just returned from a much needed 10 day long trip to the Outer Banks. Tommy White and I kicked off the trip with our highly anticipated Mountains to Sea Workshops OBX Workshop with guest instructor Athena Carey. It was a blast and our group explored ancient lighthouses, dilapidated piers and marsh and dune scenes under some fantastic light. […]
Right near Blowing Rock, NC is a winding curvy section of the Blue Ridge Parkway that juts right out the side of the mountain for a short section as a viaduct. This is one of our favorite spots on the Blue Ridge Parkway or BRP for short.
Up on top of Rough Ridge you get […]

Last week I headed out to Bulls Island with a group to capture some stars. Unfortunately the skies were very very cloudy and I only saw one star. Never fear there is always sunrise and more to work with. For the daylight […]
On days like this when the rest of the world is bracing for the onslaught of winter weather, I relish the warmth of the coast and the remote islands around the low country.

I’ve always been enamored with long exposure seascapes. The juxtaposition of solid immovable rock in high clarity and soft dreamy flowing water is amazing. Add an interesting sky and it really can all come together perfectly. I […]
So I’m a little late wishing you all a Happy New Year. Sorry about that, I’ve been out of commission with the flu since Christmas. In fact my whole family has had it and it’s been awful. We are all on the mend now, but it’s seriously taken its toll. We had hoped for […]
