I joke that I dont actually live in Charlotte and that I just have a space to put my stuff. Its a funny feeling only spending at most three nights in an apartment you pay for and call home. Its espec...

Why is black and white so timeless in photos? It can be almost an subject that that camera captures, it doesnt matter, time stands still without color, without movement. Its so powerful. Some photos ...
I just got back to Washington DC today. It was a rude slap back to reality after waking up at 6:30 AM for the first time in days to 27 degree weather and a gorgeous dusting of snow. I slept on the pl...
