Beach Thunderstorms

  I've been on vacation all this week. Yeah I know, lucky me. Anyway, I've been at Wrightsville Beach, NC testing out my new and first ever point-and-shoot digital camera. I picked up a Canon G9. This is a sweet, but not so little ps camera. But it sure beats carrying around my Canon 5d w/ vertical grip and 70-200 attached.

  To make a long story short, when I arrived at the beach there was a crazy T-storm that rolled in that evening. I got to test out the time-lapse feature on my G9. Below is the short time-lapse film, and above is a still of lighting I cut from the film. Watch closely to the left side of the film. It definitely looks like a tornado is about to touch down. Scary, but cool.

Billy & Summer

I recently just photographed a good friend of mine, Billy and his wife Summer's wedding at the first of this month. The wedding and reception both took place on Summer's grandfather's farmland in Mt. Airy, NC. It was definitely warm that day, but the clouds rolled in and cooled off the upper 90 degree temperatures quite nicely. A big thanks to Billy and Summer for allowing us to photograph their special day, and congratulations. Check back soon to see more images from this lovely farm wedding.

Viva la Vida

It's finally here. Go check out the new Coldplay album, "Viva la Vida" today.

Climbing Underwater

This is a quick film I have put together of one of my fellow friends and photographers; Neil Craver climbing at Summersville Lake, WV. Usually this boulder is completely submerged under water during the summer months.

Check out some of Neil's work at Photon Organon
