It's Wedding Season

Yes, it's wedding season!

For those of you that are in the video and photo production fields you understand why I'm so excited. As professionals we accept projects for many reasons. Some of us for the money, some for the enjoyment of what we do and some both. For me it's deeper than all of the above. Yes, well all like to get paid but sometimes no amount of money can resonate with you like a great story. Recently, I had the privilege of being introduced to Troy Webb and Luvenia Crank. This is my first wedding couple for the season. Troy and Luvenia have an amazing story that they are sharing with their family thru video and photos. Stay tuned for the story. I grabbed a few stills today during an interview with them. I believe these photos capture some of who they are. The wedding is June 14, 2008 we'll have more to share with you then.

Thanks for tuning in.

The Players That You Never Knew

With the opening Friday Night of the 2014 high school football season on the horizon, every barbershop in every small-town in America is probably buzzing with the conversation of who are greatest high school football players of all time. It's a valid question considering the pool of talent that passes through most small towns. People often wonder where these guys end up long after their playing days are over. I've often asked the same question about many of my ex-teammates. Two in particular, Darius Brewnington and Kenny Shaw. If you were an athlete in the early 1990's they were arguably considered two of the most influential athletes in North Carolina's rich high school football history. Unfortunately, like many other high profile athletes life happens. However, even with the growing pains of life every man has his day of redemption. With Darius and Kenny being former teammates of mine I wanted to see for myself who they are 20 years removed fr...

Fences

Several days ago I stopped to talk to one of my neighbors about a vacant private pool property in our neighborhood. We briefly shard our perspectives on the what if's of the property, and the countless possibilities for the local children if it were open. Needless to say many of the residents where we live share the same vision. Ironically days after that conversation, I had the pleasure of witnessing two middle school aged girls jumping the fence to play basketball at the property. Usually I wouldn't think much of this observation but being a father with two daughters, I couldn't help but notice. Especially when they're no trespassing signs posted everywhere. However, me thinking like a rational adult, I had to quickly remind myself to think like a kid and note that the fence obstacle wasn't going to be the girls end all for getting some shots up. On the heels of the conversation with my neighbor it was confirmation that we're all on one accord. So, ...

The Old Time Way

This fall has been wonderful! I've captured milestone events this season. One of my favorites was the Refuge Way of the Cross 50 th Anniversary Celebration . People that know me know I grew up in a church family so I'm sure they're wondering what made this celebration more special than others. Here's your answer. This church is more than just a client for me. They are like family. I live nearly 500 miles from my parents door step and there are some days when I'd love to be there. Fortunately, when I have those days all I have to do is drive 35 minutes into the city and I'm quickly reminded of my southern roots. Refuge Way of the Cross church is made up of North Carolina natives and for five decades they've been to the community what the church was designed to be. A Refuge. The Refuge family still " p uts in down in the kitchen" on Sunday's after church, they still have their weekly prayer service and revival meetings. Just like the...
