“I think it’s because it was an emotional story, and emotions come through much stronger in black and white.

Coastal Carolina
If there is one thing that I am thankful, it’s my ability to see something and then capture it on camera. To me, photography is not just having a camera in hand and having the capability to point and shoot. There is more to photography than meets the eye. It is seeing something that is…
The Outerbanks
I have been here in North Carolina for sixteen years and it took me that many years before I could visit the Outerbanks and see the famous lighthouses of North Carolina. And I can tell you that it never disappoint. We left home at around one thirty in the morning to catch the first ferry…
