Purple Iris

I live in my great-grandfather’s house on the family farm in Grays Chapel, North Carolina, just south of Greensboro. My immediate family has lived on that farm for almost one hundred years. A lot of the plants and flowers around our house date back to or are part of the original root stock from those planted by my grandparents and great-grandparents. For instance, we have a huge English boxwood and a magnolia that have to be at least a hundred years old each. Outside of our bay window is a flower bed full of iris transplanted from my grandmother’s garden. They are an old fashioned variety and are now at their annual full bloom.

Spring Photography in Greensboro

Flowers, Greensboro

Spring and Easter in Greensboro, North Carolina signal an explosion of blooms in the gardens and parks of the city. In the photograph above, pink azaleas show off their color along North Elm Street in the old Fisher Park area.

Oriental Lily

I got my start in commercial photography shooting still-lifes, primarily products. I believe if you have a good background in lighting still objects and know how to design a studio photograph, that translates into shooting everything else; people, location or whatever.

In My Own Backyard

Flowers, Nature, Thistle

I’ve begun to notice that you don’t have to go far sometimes to find interesting images. I love to travel as much as anyone and sometimes I feel that if I’m not in some exotic local, I can’t find anything to shoot. Then I walk out my backdoor and stumble upon something that grabs my attention. I hope from time to time to share my backyard moments.
