Picture of the Week
A picture a week from around town, or around the world!
Autumn Along the Walker Camp Prong
A few weeks ago I was bemoaning the fact that 2020 didn't give me a lot of nights worth shooting the Milky Way, but I have to say, what the year lacked in clear night skies, it more than made up for with brilliant fall colors. My friends and I were just comparing...
Sunset at the Hilton Head Lighthouse
For the past three weeks I've been sharing images I captured while on our family vacation this past summer, or Camp Manitou as we like to call it. I wanted to end the series with this amazing sunset I witnessed while walking around Habour Town. When we arrived in...
Camp Manitou 2020 – Hilton Head Island
What a week! I've had this picture planned for this week for several weeks now, but the fact that it landed on today is very apropos, but more on that in a moment. For a good number of years now my family has taken a yearly vacation to the beach, which we've dubbed...
Hilton Head Walkways
Chances are, when you think of Hilton Head, a forest is not what comes to mind. Am I right? Well, me either really, however earlier in this past summer Holly and I visited Hilton Head for the first time and I was personally struck by how beautiful the walkways (and...
Carter Shields Under the Milky Way
Y'all, I can be a little dense sometimes. I have shot almost every historical structure in Cades Cover at night at least once, if not multiple times. I've even shot the Carter Shields cabin at night a number of times, but I've been convinced that you'd never be able...
LeQuire Cemetery Under the Stars
This happened completely by accident. I've actually got two funny stories that go with this image - one of discovery, and one that scared me to death. I'll save the story of what I screwed up (i.e. discovery - see what I did there?) for last. If you've ever driven...
The Splendor of Creation
Alright, I'm super excited to start my night series here on picture of the week. Typically I sneak one or two night images in from trips I've taken, but this year, since I wasn't able to travel anywhere with awesome skies, I've just been randomly shooting here around...
A Trail to the Sun
I often hear people comparing photography to golf, in that one moment of brilliance keeps you coming back again and again, and while I've never played golf, I get the sentiment. One solid image sets you on a course to discover more. Two weeks ago, amid my images of...
The Middle Prong Fan
Nature is a force to be reckoned with! You hear this statement most often when there's a big event like a hurricane or a tornado, but nature's might can be witnessed in smaller displays as well. The cascade above, known to my photography friends and I as simply "the...
In to the Fog I Go
When you think of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, what comes to mind? For me, the list goes something like: vistas (layers of mountains), streams, historic buildings, wildlife, trails, and maybe even scenic roadways (they are in fact the most common ways...
