Zebra Swallowtail on Zinnia
A few weeks ago I noticed a butterfly at work. It was flapping around on the ground, so I knew it wouldn’t live much longer. So I decided I’d bring him home, show him to the girls so they could get a good close look at a butterfly. I put him between two small paper…

Winter 1980
I remember it like it was yesterday. My Grandparents on my Dad’s side from Georgia were visiting. It’s the only time it happened. I never saw my grandparents anywhere other than Hazelhurst, GA. Except for this one time, in the winter of 1980. The winter that it snowed over a foot. I remember hearing that…

My Family
Here is a collection of old photos of some of my family. I found these in a box at my moms house, they span a period of time from the 30’s all the way to the 80’s – a fifty year visual slice of family history. Here you will see people like Uncle Harry, who…

Trucks
On Burnett Blvd, right before you get to Greenfield Lake and Carolina Beach Road, there is a fenced in area on the back of some sort of warehouse or something. In this yard were about fifteen or twenty old trucks and school buses, some looking like they date back to the fifties. These are the…

Graffiti Documentation Project
A few years ago, there was a person (or a couple of people) that stenciled graffiti all over the alleys of downtown Wilmington. Some of these were very interesting, so I set out with my camera to capture as many as I could before ‘the man’ came along with his bucket of gray paint to…

Oakdale Cemetery
In Wilmington, NC lies Oakdale Cemetery, a nearly 160 year old cemetery. It is filled with interesting little corners and gothic monuments. Some of these are fairly horrible to behold, making sure that everyone who visits gets the message that this person is DEAD. And he isn’t coming back!

Do this, don’t do that…
This is a photo essay I did a while back on signs found in Carolina Beach, NC. After scouting around for signs, I began to realize a theme. Namely, ‘no fun!’

Abandoned Boat Yard
A while back, I came across an abandoned boat repair facility. The building had been empty for some time, and the grounds had turned into a dumping place for garbage, leftover yardsale items, old boats, etc. There were dolls and stuffed animals all over the place, so it was quite eerie and surreal. Here are…

Downtown Wilmington
I love Wilmington. The historic area, that is. The rest of it, meh, not so much. But at any rate, I found a few shots laying around on an SD card that needed to be shared, so here they are. Heavily processed, of course. [nggallery id=4]

Urban Decay
I’ve been haunting the alleys and sidewalks of downtown Wilmington with my camera for years now. Here are a handful of things you might see if you look hard enough while you’re there.

Pond Lilies
I happened across a small drainage pond tucked away behind the Verizon store yesterday. I barely noticed it as I was driving up, and I happened to have my camera in the Jeep. So when I was done at Verizon (ordering my Droid X!) I grabbed the trusty Rebel and walked over to the pond…
