Fall Snow

Ah, Fall. The cool crisp air, the warm, vibrant leaves, the snow…yes, I said snow. I’m not a fan of the cold, but I say if it’s going to get cold enough to snow, it may as well. Freezing cold weather without snow is like crème brulee without crusty caramelized top, and what’s the fun in that. So I guess if it has to be freezing this early in the year, it might as well snow, and man did it ever. Our brightly colored leaves were blanked with fat white flakes of it and what a magnificent sight.

Parade of Homes


I’ve been shooting the most amazing homes in Asheville for our local Parade of Homes in the Citizen-Times. I got to go out, peruse, admire, and photograph a hand full of some really unique houses in the area. If I had a few million kicking around, I might be tempted to snatch one of these up.  This one was my favorite. It was an old barn that was completely taken apart and reused in the house along with both new and recycled materials.

Flying Trapeze

How does that flying trapeze song go? Someone flies through the air with greatest of ease? Liars. Doing the flying trapeze is really difficult. The song writers only picked those words because they rhyme. I had the great fortune to have a flying trapeze lesson and I flew through the air with great difficulty. It was a lot of fun though, I had a blast. There are some flying trapeze artists in town who are giving lessons for a month. If you are in the Asheville area and have always dreamed of running away to join the circus, here is your chance for a taste. You can find all the info you need at the following site.

New Catalog Shoot Coming Up

When it rains, it pours and I have been in a deluge of work over the past couple of weeks. I’ve been prepping for a catalog shoot that I just became the primary photographer for. I’ll be shooting clothing, food, and artwork, among other things. I’ve attached the spec sheet of clothing that I shot. I also attached some of the pieces that I sent as samples of my product photography. On top of that, I’ve been shooting gorgeous houses for the parade of homes for the newspaper’s website, and I’ll be sending highlights from that soon. For now, I need to catch up on some sleep. More news to come.
