I took this photo on January 24, 2016.  Two days before it had had snowed 18 inches in WNC. The day before the wind was problematic for being outside but featured a full moon, The Wolf Moon.  I knew that Wolf Moon would be setting over Bad Fork Valle

A current trend in architectural imagery is to include people and people in motion.  One of my favorites shoots in 2019 was for @e3_designatlanta in Atlanta.  e3 did an incredible job of designing this entrance way. Here is my take on including peopl

Mills River Madness

December 21, 2014

The North Mill's River Recreation Area is located in the Ranger District of the Pisgah National Forest south of Asheville in Henderson County North Carolina.  It's a popular spot for mountain bikers, hikers, campers, fisherman and all sorts of outdoor enthusiasts and holds a special place in my heart.  I spend a lot of time there year round and am extremely fortunate that the area is a quick drive from my house.  The area boasts crystal clear spring fed creeks, mountain lakes, stunning waterfalls, high elevation bogs and steep rugged mountainsides to name a few things. The are also contains one of the most diverse trail systems on the east coast.

The first few things that cross my mind about this valley are quality time with my family and friends, lots and lots of swimming holes, world class mountain biking and infinite photography opportunities.  

A gorgeous view into the valley from the Blue Ridge Parkway.

It's easy to see why I am so in love with this area and create time in my life to spend quality time here.  I crave the calm and peace of the forest.  I love the sound of the rushing streams and and my bicycle tires bouncing off the roots and rocks as I pedal these trails.  I look forward to exploring and developing my relationship with this forest. The North MIll's River Recreation is a true North Carolina treasure!!  I hope you enjoyed my photoblog.
