Nothing like a boy and his puppy to make a great picture. Looks like fall to me.

October 29, 2012

After a small break I'm back at it with the pictures of the day.  This was shot going down the road at 70 mph.  Nice Budweiser sign.

October 11, 2012

This was the Asheboro City Schools Board of Education meeting.  I had to go an cover the meeting for my journalism class.  I will never again complain about photographing high school football.

October 10, 2012

Finally a clear day!!! Had to shoot a feature assignment on the weather clearing.  This shot was from that shoot.  Good light.

October 8, 2012

Saw this guy out in my yard on a rainy Monday afternoon.  Nothing great, just a photo. 

October 7, 2012

This was shot on Thursday and it was my first attempt at making a star trail photo.  I have attemped this every night since, but the weather just want cooperate.  I will get this right at some point.

October 6, 2012

This was from the fall festival in Asheboro.  I think this is one of my better pictures, great moment.

October 5, 2012

 

 

Friday nght at the parade in Asheboro, I found this little girl in th ebest light I could find.  I thought it made a good picture.

October 4, 2012

 

With the arrival of Fall, local shop owners have began to decorate their store to welcome in the season.  

October 3, 2012

A group of local high school students take time to enjoy their lunch break.

October 2, 2012

OK, not my best effort but I did learn alot.  I love the composition and framing, it just needs a human element and maybe some more depth of field.

October 1, 2012

I went on a feature hunt today, and this is what I came up with.  I think it's pretty unusual to see a train setting in Asheboro just running.

September 30, 2012

 

 

I went to a flea market today to find a good photo.  I saw this lady stripping a catus leaf.  I thought it would make for an interesting story.

September 29, 2012

This is what I saw most of the day on Saturday.  I had bigger plans for my photo that got rained out.

September 28, 2012

This was a shot I really like that didn't make final cut for my assignment.  Love the background player out of focus.

September 27, 2012

I was walking around Asheboro and saw these workers laying brick.  They are building the new apartments on sunset street.  They didn't like me taking their picture at all, so I was very quick and got what I could.

September 26, 2012

I met these guys on a walk about around Asheboro this morning.  They saw me and wanted me to take there picture.  Not really great, but better than nothing.

September 25, 2012

My son loves to play football, so I thought it would make a good picture of the day.  It was shot with hard light, but I think it works.

September 24, 2012

This was part of a shot for a composite assignment.  The framing is a little off, but I like the expression.  At a girl, Blue.

September 23, 2012

This was a sunday afternoon  in the park with my family.  Thought it would work well for our feature hunt.

September 22, 2012

This was taken at the rock the block festival in Winston Salem, NC.  Tried to capture the right moment with a little different perspective.

September 21, 2012

Was out and about early this morning trying to find a nice sunrise with some fog.  Its pretty tough to shoot, but its something I'll keep working on.

September 20, 2012

Saw these man sitting on a bench and would have been a great picture.  Turned around and came back, but he had left.  So this is what I got.  I liked the repeating lines in the background.

September 19, 2012

Took a walk around downtown Asheboro looking for a nice feature.  Saw this guy and took the shot.  I love the detail in his wings, and the background.  I hope this work for a feature.

September 18, 2012

This was an attempt to find a "slice of life" feature that would run in a newspaper.  I still have some work to do.

 

September 17, 2012

This was taken at the Davidson County Fair.  This little girl was lucky enough to win a prize, and of course momma helped.

September 16, 2012

Another attempt at trying to find intimacy.  I still feel like I need some work on it.  This has been a tough concept for me to grab.

September 15, 2012

This is trying to capture an initimate moment, don't know if I did, but I like this shot. 

September 14, 2012

This one didn't make the final cut for my weekly football gallery, but I kind of liked it.  This is the Southwest Band at halftime.

September 13, 2012

This is getting there I think with the intimacy, I hope.  This has proven to be tougher than you'd think.

September 12, 2012

I feel like this was my first successful "intimate" shot of the week, or at the very least, a nice moment.

September 11, 2012

This is my son playing a game of Madden on the Playstation.  I tried capturing a exciting, intimate monent.  We'll get better as the week goes on.

September 10, 2012

This was an attempt to find an intimate moment. That will be the theme all week.  Hopefully I'll get better throughout the week.

September 9, 2012

This crazy shot was apart of a time lasp assignment.  I tried to make a horror movie.  The flash was too harsh, and the color appears weird.

September 8, 2012

Saw this little guy at my aunts house.  Took the shot with the eyes in mind, and had nice light.

September 7, 2012

This was shot with a 300mm lens. My focus is slightly off but I love the background.  This was a referee that was cut during the Southwest vs Trinity game.

September 6, 2012

This little dog was very excited to see her friend.  Nothing like puppies and little boys to make a picture.  I like the light in the boys eyes as well.

September 5, 2012

This was a protest I ran across in downtown Asheboro at Bicentennial Park.  The American's for Prosperity were holding a rally for a small group of on lookers.

September 4, 2012

Today Randolph Community College celebrated it's 50th birthday.  There was events such as cornhole all over the campus park.

September 3, 2012

With the Democratic National Convention underway, everyone with a message wants to be heard.    

 

September 2, 2012

This is my beautiful wife Sherri.  I was shooting an assignment for another class and thought this picture looked nice.  Portraits really aren't my thing, but I want to be a well rounded photographer.

September 1, 2012

 

 

This little girl I met today at a birthday party.  Her mother was kind enough for me to use her in my blog.  I love the way the background falls off, Im really trying to use that more.

August 31, 2012

This was from the friday night game Southwestern Randolph vs Providence Grove.  I'm trying to work on my action shots here.

August 30, 2012

I drove around all afternoon looking for the perfect photo.  I saw this guy in Randleman NC at the deep river nature trail, he was very photogenic.  I was attempting to work with layers.

August 29, 2012

This lady was giving a hula hoop demonstration today on campus.  Her and other groups were out today treating the students during lunch.

August 28, 2012

These local youths were apart of a very active evening at the Asheboro YMCA.  They were practicing there soccer skills very competitively.

August 27, 2012

This was an attempt to find the right moment in any situation.  A young boy listening closely to his grandpa.

August 26, 2012

With summer winding down leaves have already begun to fall.  This was was taking with the late evening light on our trampoline.

August 25, 2012

This photograph was taken because the way the light was falling on the boy.  I was practicing with a long lens for portrait style photographs.

August 24, 2012

Players from Southwestern Randolph line up for the national anthem in tonight's big rivalry game verus Eastern Randolph.
