  • Located at the southern end of a series of barrier islands in the Outer Banks, NC. Recently refurbished an excellent example of early American engineering Ocracoke Lighthouse.

  • This image was captured at the Oregon Inlet on the NC Outerbanks in December of 2015. It features the iconic Bonner Bridge, one of the more famous bridges in North Carolina. This was an impromptu trip that I undertook hoping to catch a sight of Comet Catalina that was gracing our skies at the time. That trip turned out to be one of the best trips I have ever undertaken as I encountered perfect conditions for photography every single day over the 3 day period I was there.

This image is a blend of 2 images to bring out some detail in the foreground rocks. This composition appealed to me since the foreground rocks form a natural line to lead the viewer's eyes to the bridge and the clouds above. The clouds on this day were assuming various familiar shapes with the one captured here taking the shape of a bird in flight. 

This particular stretch of the shoreline is very peaceful to walk along. Since it's an inlet, the waves are extremely calm unless it's windy. There are several sand dunes to the left of this image that ultimately would lead you to the proper coast and the ocean. 

Update, 2020: This bridge is being dismantled and replaced with a newer bridge. Bonner Bridge has a lot of history tied to it and while it's sad to see it go, I feel fortunate to have captured part of this history personally.

Thank you for stopping by and for the support.

Decent House for a family week on Ocracoke.

The house is fairly new and up-to-date, and it is in a good location, easily walkable(or bikeable) to town. It was very convenient for the family members to launch off in different directions and rendevous back for family meals. Between the dining room table and backyard patio area we had several memorable family meals. The kitchen is sort of appointed for family cooking but luckily we brought our own knives, and tools. WiFi was solid for 6 people with multiple devices and streaming TV. The covered carport and first-floor utility room were great for all our beach stuff. The only gripe we have with the house is the gas grill was not available (it's a Weber charcoal grill), the master bedroom mattress has seen better days, and we did not sleep well all week. The outdoor shower was not turned on, and the refrigerator froze some of our fresh food (even at 42F). The instructions from the Realty company were a little confusing concerning sheets and towels so we just brought our own. Despite these minor issues, our love for Ocracoke and our positive experiences on the island remain unchanged. The house, while solid, could benefit from a little more attention to detail to enhance the overall guest experience.
