Today I revisited the Franklinville textile mill and did some really cool shots in the old silos nearby. I am not sure what they were used for but they were made of terra cotta clay and looked really cool in the sunlight. Also in Cedar falls I did an HDR of a really neat little farmhouse.

IMG_3372 This weekend I went up to the mountains to photograph the fall color for my fine art line and it turned out to be the perfect timing since it had just snowed on the tips of mountain peaks. Fine art photography is about being in the right place at the right time. I got a great panoramic of the snow-covered mountain peaks and a wonderful photograph of the light shining on the Little Pigeon River. I also visiting Forbidden Caverns nearby and got some nice shots of the cave.

web_004 I finally took the plunge and bought a canon 5d mark II. This camera is so sweet it is by far the best camera I have ever used in digital photography. The images produced are incredibly crisp and clean and look great even at high ISO. I cant wait to test this camera out at my next wedding.

I absolutely love and adore Luxor but after my first attempt to photograph him in the studio resulted in exhaustion and only one good frame after 45 minutes of shooting I decided to photograph him on his on turf. It was still kind of hard to get him to sit still but once you got his attention he did exactly what I wanted him too.

web_001 In addition to being a photographer I also happen to be quit the horticulturist. As I was watering my backyard garden this evening I happen to come across this beautiful butterfly nestled among the flowers so I grabbed my camera and snapped a few shots before he flew away.

mill Now that graduation is over I have decided to pick up work on my documentary of the textile mills of NC. I found this mill in Greensboro and I had an amazing time shooting these shots. I really enjoy photographing old abandoned buildings, something about it just reminds me of what will happen when mankind disappears.  Congrats to all my fellow Photography Grads!
