One year ago today, the International Civil Rights Museum in Greensboro, North Carolina opened its doors. Located in the old Woolworth building in downtown Greensboro, it is the site where four students from North Carolina A&T University began a historic sit-in at the lunch counter on Feb. 1, 1960 and helped ignite the Civil Rights Movement in this country. If you’re in town, plan a visit to the museum.

Phil Allison stands in for a lighting test on a recent commercial job in Greensboro. Phil has been working with me for several years and is a great assistant as well as a top notch photographer in his own right. In this business, you’re only as good as the people you surround yourself with.

Saturday Night Music

Music
The family and I spent a wonderful Saturday night in Grays Chapel listening to neighbor Gerald Hampton and his friends Molasses Creek from Ocracoke Island play their music in celebration of 15 years of the Goat Lady Dairy. Good food and good fellowship was had by all.
