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.

Following behind yesterday’s images, the photograph above gives a sense of scale. Shot for a workwear POS piece.
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.
(I am double posting today because I have to be on location shooting tomorrow.) Another local establishment I frequent is Alvin’s Automotive in Grays Chapel, south of Greensboro on Hwy 22. Master mechanic Alvin, who is my cousin’s husband, has somehow managed to keep my family’s and my neighbor’s cars and a lot of our farm equipment going for years. When he’s not fixing our stuff, he spends his time restoring classic cars and trucks and hauling fuel oil. He grows pretty good tomatoes too. In front of his shop is a store which acts a center for local news, politics and socializing.
Harry runs the front and keeps the locals under control.
Alvin always keeps a smile on his face … always.

Everyone seems to have a local place they stop by every day or so. Routh Oil Co. (yes, they are my cousins) in Lineberry, North Carolina is mine. Eric and Justin provide my gas, my news, my political commentary, and my daily entertainment.

Image is a portrait out-take from a studio fashion job. The fashion market in Greensboro is primarily casual wear, so we don’t shoot a lot of haut couture models. Usage was for point of sale.

Today’s image is a portrait of a model in front of an antique Waco biplane. I was interested in producing an Amelia Earhart/historical look for fashion.
Farmers are always busy, especially dairy farmers. Every day of the year there is something that needs and has to be done. Cows have to be milked, stock fed, equipment serviced and crops brought in. But I have found that they all will take the opportunity to pause and talk to you for a few minutes about farming, the price of milk and cattle, or just the weather. Third and fourth generation dairy farmers Rick and Michael Williams take a short break before milking time on their dairy operation, Williams Dairy, south of Greensboro, North Carolina.
