We had the pleasure last week of shooting Summer and Fall collections for menswear designer McKenzie Tribe.

The collections included jackets, jeans and shirts for men that transition from work to play. We shot at North Hills in Raleigh as our location.

WUNC, North Carolina’s public radio station, has always been new media savvy. From creating podcasts to developing a Flickr channel for “The State of Things,” Frank Stasio’s daily radio program, the station is always trying to figure out new ways to connect with its audience in a new media landscape.

I’m proud to be represented once again (the first time was in August 07) by my photograph “Dump Trucks at Davis & High House” as the SOT Picture of the Week.

I suppose this photo is newsworthy due to the pitched battle that was fought over the development of this land.

A grass roots public advocacy group, DavisAndHighHouse.org, formed to fight additional development at this corner in Cary. It proved a lightening rod for public dissatisfaction with development in general, tipping the balance in municpal elections. One term mayor Ernie McAlister was upset and slow-growth candidate Harold Weinbrecht took over in North Carolina’s sixth largest city (News & Observer, 10/9/07).

Slow growth may be in, but too late to roll back the tide at the corner of Davis & High House.

Cell phone cameras are pretty limited. But, sometimes, they are the only tool at hand. That’s why I thought it was worthwhile to figure out how to take good pictures with the camera on my iPhone. Read the rest of this entry »
