Linville Gorge Backpacking – November 6th & 7th 2010

Took another trip out to the Linville Gorge this past weekend. We (John Zachary, Allie King, Drew Hayes, Justin Wilson and Myself) headed up there without a decided itinerary and we weren’t sure whether there was going to be any fall color left. But we lucked out and scored some great weather. There was still some great color at lower elevations. The weather channel was calling for snow, but we only came across a few flurries and a few spots where some snow had stuck the previous night. After arriving mid-day saturday, we ended up parking at the Table Rock picnic area. We then hiked the mile up to the summit of Table Rock for some great panoramic views before heading back down to the Mountain-to-Sea Trail and Spence Ridge Trail to reach the Linville river. After crossing the river and hiking down a ways we found a great spot to camp up on a ridge above the river. I’m not sure the mileage, but we probably hiked a total of about 10 or so miles. It was cold but we came well prepared, had a good fire raging for a good amount of the night and brought a heavy supply of hot tea. On the hike back we took a different route, which involved hiking a very strenuous up-mountain route to the summit of Little Table Rock which offered an amazing view of the gorge and the surrounding mountains. A great way to commence the hike. Here are some of the photos I made during our trip.

Hurricane Earl Swell – Masonboro Island, NC

Went over to Masonboro Island on Wednesday night, August 01, 2010 to catch the first signs of swell from Hurricane Earl. The wind wasn’t cooperating as much as we had hoped, but there were definitely some bombs coming through. I stayed out shooting photos well past sunset, so you will notice a loss of quality towards the end of the gallery. Click on the post title above to view the whole batch.

Puerto Rico Photo Book…

The Puerto Rico book I put together is here. It turned out really nice. It is 40 pages and features 160 photos from my trip in late March. Here are a few photos I snapped of it.

In other news. A bird couple decided to make the fern on my porch into their home. Further documentation of this hostile act coming soon.

Oceans Over Monuments

Shot some promo photos for a local band Oceans Over Monuments, around downtown Wilmington the other night.

Some random girls decided to be a part of the shoot.
