This morning our farrier (a person that shoes horses) Charlie Stone came by and shod our 28 year old mustang horse Rienzi. Charlie has been shoeing Rienzi since my wife adopted her from the U S Bureau of Land Management some 27 years ago. Charlie’s care is one reason Rienzi’s feet are in such good shape still. That and the fact that she has never worked a day in her life.

A local landmark in my community that I drive by almost daily is the old Melancthon Lutheran Church in Melancthon, south of Greensboro, in Randolph County. Largely unused now, it is one of the few rural Lutheran churches I know of in our area. Simple and white, it has stood the ravages of time since it’s organization in 1850.

Following behind yesterday’s images, the photograph above gives a sense of scale. Shot for a workwear POS piece.
Maybe it was growing up on a farm, or maybe because when I was a kid I played with toy trucks and tractors, but I love heavy equipment, the bigger the better. I love to shoot them and I love to operate them. Something about having that much power to move dirt.

Model image from workwear job. When you are casting for lifestyle photographs, it’s important to cast models that look natural (and good) in their environment and are comfortable doing things you ask them to do. A simple statement, but it surprising how often models are cast for the wrong job.
One man’s junk is another man’s treasure, at least visually. From a Sunday afternoon drive in Randolph County, North Carolina.

Yes, it’s that time of year again. The Rolex 24 hours was run this past weekend, and the Daytona 500 is just around the corner, so auto racing is about to start a new season. As racing is one of my weaknesses (especially sports car road racing), I look forward to the new year, although I wonder what effect the economic downturn will have. I hope to be able to shoot at least a few events. Photo is of an old Formula One car from a vintage race at Road Atlanta.
Couple of headshot and promo photographs for a Chapel Hill graphic designer’s website. Shot the exterior just outside my studio in Old Greensboro. I love the light when it’s foggy and rainy.

Today’s image is an out-take from a magazine shoot for a local Fortune 500 company.
My wife Dedra is very interested in family genealogy, so in the winter when the leaves are off the trees, we often go looking for old family cemeteries and home places. Sunday we went to the New Hope area of Randolph County with her Uncle Billie Cranford and looked at several plots. We also went by the old Hurley store (below) close to Dedra’s grandmother’s home place in the Uwharrie Mountains.
