Earlier today I did a photoshoot with one of my favorite models, Amy Marie.  After several months of planning and coordinating our schedules to find a time that we collaborate as well as secure a couple of unique locations for the shoot, we finally made it happen. Our first shoot location this morning was [...]

  “My goal in life is to be as good of a person my dog already thinks I am.” – Author Unknown This morning I took my Alaskan Malamute,  Jedi, for a walk around downtown Wilmington and the Cape Fear Riverwalk.  We happened to come across our good friend, Chiaki, who was walking her Jack [...]

  I spent this past Thanksgiving holiday with my relatives in New Port Richey, Florida.  It’s a great holiday to go visit them because virtually all the relatives on my uncle’s side live in close proximity of each other.  What is the average turnout of relatives that go to these Thanksgiving feasts?  Oh, about 50 people [...]

  This past weekend I had the sincere pleasure of doing a family Christmas portrait session with my friends, Will and Michelle.  The joy and significance is that it was Will and Michelle’s first ‘family’ Christmas portrait session.  You see, this past October they welcomed their first child into the world, Titus.   As a photographer, I must confess that [...]

  In an effort to motivate myself and get a jumpstart on goals that I have in mind for the next year, I’m accepting a challenge via photographer Tim King (check out his 30-day challenge at his blog.) The first thing that comes to mind about participating in a challenge such as this is that [...]

Hosted by BluWater Photography Events, the 1st Annual Bikini Bash Photoshoot was a good experience.  Over the course of [...]

  I would recommend to anyone that they should make a trip to the Holy Land during their lifetime.  It is a doorway to ancient times. If you have seen the film “Schindler’s List”, you may recall at the end of the movie the actors and the real-life characters they portrayed placed rocks on Oskar [...]

I spent three days photoshooting surfers in action at the 7th Annual Reef Sweetwater Pro-Am Surf Fest, which was held in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina.   I had taken pictures at a regional surfing event earlier this year, however, this was the first professional/amateur surf competition that I’ve participated at as a photographer.   The weather was [...]

I had the fortunate opportunity of visiting Dr. Rowland Evans and his wife, Annie, in their home country of Wales. This missionary and gentleman is a great person of spiritual intellect, a philosopher, and a sage that expresses himself with poetic elegance. If you wish to read about Rowland’s bardic telling of his journey in [...]
