First Harvest
Goat Lady Dairy in Grays Chapel, North Carolina started a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) garden this year and yesterday was the first weekly harvest and delivery to members. One of the key personnel involved was gardener Chram (pronounced “Trom”). Chram is a Montagnard originally from Viet Nam who has been training to help run the day to day gardening operations along side farm manager Daniel Woodham.

Photograph of a model in studio from my files. Sometimes you need to look back at what you did and where you’ve been to see where you are and where you’re going.
Simple Things
Producing content for this blog has forced me to look at things beyond what I normally do in my commercial business. Sometimes those things are very simple and very close to home and in this case, very abundant. Two images of dandelions in my yard. My wife calls them “little lanterns”.

At the Store
One of the long standing traditions of rural North Carolina is “going to the store”. I did it as a child with my Grandfather and I still stop by in the mornings today. Whether a true general store, a filling station or even a local convenience store, these establishments act as a center of the community for news, entertainment, politics and sometimes even philosophy. So, pull in, have a seat, grab a Pepsi and maybe a pack of “nabs” and jaw with the neighbors. And bring your own shovel. Shown are Bob Craven (above) and Harry Whitaker (below) during a recent visit to Routh Oil in Lineberry, North Carolina.

Vintage Racing
In the past I had the opportunity to shoot a lot of motor racing, in fact, at one time racing was a major part of my business. And, I must admit I miss it, but the market is just not there anymore. I do get the opportunity to shoot the occasional event like this vintage race at Virginia International Raceway north of Greensboro. Love seeing these old beasts, like this Porsche RSR and Jaguar D-Type (sans fin) go at it in anger again.
