On Sunday I took my family to Carrboro and used my new 85mm lens. I did not use flash. We tried to use some cool looking urban backgrounds. It was evening so the light was really good. Its amazing the colors you can find for example in a rusty old dumpster. The graffiti was on...
This shot was taken in Hillsborough. We had driven around the week before to hunt for some places to take pictures. We found an old car garage that was painted white and had a bright blue trim. The sun was bright as it was around noon so we had Ceci put her favorite umbrella up...

I adore my friend Karen for she is up for anything. We decided on a beach trip. Freedom from family responsibilities was on tap. Now you must understand middle aged women with kids sure know how to make the most of precious free time for it doesn’t come along easily or often. As much as...
