Farmer, Fireman and Neighbor

Portraits

Portrait of farmer and volunteer firefighter Jack Fagg. Jack is actually pretty much retired from farming, but if there is a call to the local volunteer fire department, Jack will probably be one of the first on the scene of the call.

More Collections

Portraits

Collectors are pretty active in Randolph County. Images are from the property of Raymond Frazier of Level Cross. His collection of old stuff is beyond words.

Firefighters and the Flood

Business, Personal, Portraits

Some days are better than others and of course, some are more trying. Today was one of those trying ones, for sure. Late this morning while I was beginning to edit a job, the fire alarm in our building went off, which is never a good sign. After checking things out, I found out a cable worker had knocked a sprinkler head off in the hallway above my studio, directly above. A deluge of water soon began to pour through my ceiling and I started the rush to move my computer and camera equipment before it was ruined. With the help of my wonderful building neighbors, I was able to move everything that could be horribly damaged (I hope) including my film archive. Still, a lot of water came in and a lot of damage was done. A flood. Bright sunny day, my studio is on the second floor, fifteen feet above the ground, and I have a flood.

However, even in adversity comes opportunity, I guess. I’ve been thinking of doing portraits of firefighters, and have been thinking about who to approach. This morning, they approached me. The firemen of the Greensboro Fire Department showed up at my door and I grabbed a couple of images of them as I was documenting the damage to my studio.
