I stopped by Alvin’s Automotive in Grays Chapel, North Carolina on Saturday morning to get my car inspected. I found Alvin Ward, my cousin’s husband, changing the oil in a car. When he’s not restoring old cars, Alvin’s provides repair and maintenance for neighborhood vehicles and acts as a center for local news and entertainment.

We have been out most of the week shooting photographs of outdoor apparel and workwear for a catalog. An old friend of mine, Terry Sheppard, was kind enough to let us shoot at his shop in Randolph County. Terry runs Piedmont Generator where he services and sells residential and commercial electrical generators. He also repairs and rebuilds all kinds of heavy equipment. If it’s mechanical, he can fix it, and if it can’t be fixed, he’ll redesign and rebuild it. His is an extraordinary talent.

Men’s casual fashion photograph of a male model from an outdoor apparel catalog shoot. It was a fall image from the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia,
I find that a lot of my assignments involve photographing people working. A couple of weeks ago I shot a group of guys tearing apart diesel engines at a local dealership here in Greensboro. The engines were part of a long term study on oil additives and the technicians were measuring and inspecting every part for evidence of wear. Fascinating to watch these guys go through an engine literally in minutes.

I live in a hundred year old farmhouse and a lot of the hardware is also that age. The other day I needed a glass doorknob to replace a broken one, so I headed across the street from my photography studio in Greensboro to Mary’s Antiques. Mary’s is an institution in the antique district in Old Greensboro and I have known her for years. We have bought pieces for our home and rented props for photo shoots. She carries a wonderful variety of fine antique furniture and an eclectic collection of collectibles. You never know what she might have in stock. She is also known for having perhaps the best selection of architectural antiques in the area, so if you need a door, or a knob or a hinge, her shop is the place to go. Mary’s is located at 607 South Elm Street, and can be reached at 336-378-8877 or at Marys_Antiques@ATT.net. If you are in downtown Greensboro, stop by her shop and browse. It’s worth the trip.

This weekend I found my neighbor Clyde McManus working on a fence with his son and grandson at their farm and game reserve on Old Liberty Road in Randolph County. Clyde is a retired ATF agent or “revenoor” and worked the western part of North Carolina during the heyday of moonshining.
