I’m lucky to have such a great model at my fingertips when I want to try out new lighting setups.

Last week I took some photos at the native plant nursery where I work part time – Laurel Springs Nursery in Hendersonville, NC. I love going here. It is so relaxing and a great place to get away. My lovely friend Courtney is in most of the photos weeding away!

I was fortunate to get to spend the weekend assisting Paul Dyer at Lake James in Nebo, North Carolina. Here are a few shots from an evening boat ride we took on Sunday. I made new friends and even got to spend some time with friends from Boone, NC. Oriana and Rachel were kind enough to come out and model for us. Thanks guys! Also, thank you to Brian Faini for referring me to Paul. I had a blast.

Last weekend I got to go to the Banff Mountain Film Festival here in Boone, NC in Farthing Auditorium. I had never been to anything like this before. The enthusiasm of the crowd seemed more appropriate for a rock concert than a film screening. All I had heard were good things but I still didn’t know what to expect. After going once I want to try to go every year from now on if I can make it. Here is the preview that was played before the films both nights…

Dominic Gill made a documentary of himself riding a tandem bike all the way from the top of Alaska to the bottom of South America. Saturday at 3pm, Dominic met with interested folks at Footsloggers to answer questions and tell stories. I got there a little early to see if I could squeeze in a little shoot with him. He is a very nice, funny, intelligent, and needless to say well traveled person. Not too hard on the eyes either…

Thanks to Robert Franklin for your help with this!
