This was the type of day when one feels obligated to do something memorable. The sky was brilliant, no humidity, and warm temps made it impossible to just hang around the house. I grabbed my camera and headed to the Upcountry History Museum. The museum has been in the works for a number of years. … Read More “The Upcountry History Museum” »

I was a fantastic fall afternoon, and Furman was threatening to lose yet another game (they didn’t, though), so I decided to head out and take some photos around town. I’m not sure why, but I wound up at the Saluda Lake Dam on the west side of town. I first turned off on the … Read More “Bit of Afternoon Fall Photography” »
For several weeks now I’ve noticed a rather unusual car as I’ve driven along North Pleasantburg Drive. Today I took the time to stop and take some photos, and do a bit of research on the vehicle.

As a high schooler playing keyboards in a band, they were my idols because of their keyboard-heavy arrangements. “Carry on My Wayward Son” is still one of my favorite songs. … Read More “Kansas on a Stick” »
It was a beautiful weekend for Fall for Greenville, and apparently everyone in town thought so, too. I headed downtown and wandered through the masses, snapping photos as I went. I’ve mentioned before that I have a problem with crowds. I wasn’t sure if it was claustrophobia or agoraphobia, but some phobia really makes me … Read More “Fall for Greenville 2007” »
Local Greenville blogger Eric Rogers stumbled across one of my posts about tilt-shift photography and thought he’d give it a try. Eric is a filmmaker, so he took things a step further and tried to tilt-shift a video clip. The results are quite good. Here’s a link to his finished product in Quicktime .MOV format… … Read More “Tilt-Shift Video” »
