Got Trash?
November 28, 2014, Loganville, Georgia.
Essentially a case of lazily driving along in traffic and suddenly stepping on the brakes, making a wild U-Turn in the middle of the highway and jumping out of the car to get that shot.

Critters
December 14, 2014.
I came across this family walking down Patton Avenue in Asheville, North Carolina on a crisp December afternoon. What struck me was the diverse assemblage of critters adorning the children’s clothing as well as the stuffed toy dog and a firetruck stroller. I quickly captured the family’s movements as we crossed paths. If you look carefully, you’ll notice a second kid in the stroller seated just behind the child in the front seat.

UNCA Reception for Urban Photography from the Streets of a Bohemian Mountain Town
August 27, 2013
At the last minute, I was informed that WLOS News in Asheville would be coming in to interview me and video tape my UNCA photography exhibit for the 6 o’clock news. With a heads up of no more than ten minutes, I think it came off rather well.
You can view the brief story here.
The show will run until September 27, 2013.

UNCA Exhibition from August 16 to September 27, 2013
My latest exhibition being held at UNC Asheville takes a more academic approach in street photography revealing the dualities of traditional and conventional temperaments in Asheville—from the traditional Southern lifestyle to the influx of a greater ethnic diversity. The exhibition concentrates on varying dichotomies contrasting an array of subjects ranging from a prominent senior population against a growing youth culture; to focusing on conservative vs progressive values and bohemian temperaments. I have also attempted to afford a fair amount attention depicting examples of economic and philosophical disparities from street preachers to street performers to street people. The city itself becomes a backdrop that serves as host to the many faces and lifestyles that make up the whole of Asheville.
The juxtapositions of city life revolve around the contrasting attitudes and cultural climate of Asheville. I strive to capture frozen moments in time exploring the subtle transitions from chaos into a a synchronized uniformity and harmony—a oneness with the people—before transitioning back into the hustle of urban life. Each image is a personal sentiment extracting the essence of the memory of that moment. My aim is to show the gradual transition from a small bohemian Southern town into an emerging city.
The show will be held at the Mel Blowers Gallery in the Ramsey Library at UNC Asheville. The exhibit will run from August 16 to September 27, 2013. Opening reception is on a Tuesday, August 27 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. All works on display are for sale.
