Handcrafted, Liz Spear

I never pass up a trip to Western NC- even if it requires an early morning drive.  Liz Spear is not exactly a morning person either. She wakes around 8:30-9:00- then heads to her studio in the basement of her home around 10:30. Once down there, she will methodically work a 12 hour day, weaving fabric for her clothing line.

 

Handcrafted- Brian and Joel

365 iproject

 

With the turn of instagram, hashtags, iphone cameras that can shoot panoramics, I thought I'd give an old New Year's resolution project a new twist. About 7 years ago, I did the old "photo a day" project and then turned it into a calendar at the end of the year. It turned out pretty cool.. but of course I had an array of professional gear I used to create fine art, personal art and just everyday photos. It sometimes forced me to turn the camera on my life.

A closer look

With everything that has happened toward the end of the year, I thought it was pretty small to think about a year in review gallery of images. But here I am thinking about it. Mainly because the photos I’ve decided to share speak volumes to me about who we are. Hope. Laughter. Joy. Curiosity. Amazement. Love. Gratitude. Faith. Trust. I think there are equal measures of that in all of our hearts. The badness has to eat through all of that to get to the surface. 

 

Silly String, dogs, and a little Christmas deocration photo bombing!

I have never laughed so much during a photo session as I did with David and Lauren Clark of Desilu Photography.  

 

For Duke

You are getting this gallery because if you have crossed my path, you most likely crossed Duke’s path too. I had the luck to cross Duke’s path some 19 years ago and he has been imbedded in my soul for those 19 years. He is my lifetime dog. I have had others and will have dogs all my life, but Duke and I knew I would not have the same bond with another dog, and he would not have the same bond with another human.

A special wedding

I had the honor to be the first photographer to photograph the first wedding in a brand new church last weekend. Hope presbyterian church opened it's doors to Tricia and Chris, and then blew bubbles after them as they ran out it's doors.

 

Mallory and Conrad

Mallory and Conrad are my near season enders. One more home town wedding in November and my cameras are going somewhere warm on vacation!

These two were super easy to work with and that always shows in the photographs. The gallery is full of BW images, I just felt the day had a elegant and classic feel, so the BW really conveys that. I hope you enjoy a glimpse into their wedding day. Cheers to Mallory and Conrad!
