Color film photo taken at Wolf Creek Lake in Western North Carolina on Lomography Purple. This was in a small hidden branch of the lake where I utilized the power of weed smoke, lens flare, and Lomo Purple to capture this lovely image.

Shameless self promotion of my band's new album released last week!

This is our 5th album and in my opinion our best work thus far!

Color film photo of the recently closed down paper mill in Canton, North Carolina. There is a lot of history with this place on my Mom's side of the family but it was also a major source of pollution and I am glad it is closed. The economic hit to the area was rough but it had been in the works for decades now.

Thanks Gina! I have always thought this alley was super photogenic. Moreso than Chicken Alley which gets all the tourist photos haha.

Thanks Eddie! I enjoy the wild looks of Lomo Purple (I call it the poor man's Aerochrome) but with the right color palate you can get mostly natural looking shots with the pink/purple hues as accents.

I definitely struggle with quick focusing that camera but the lens they put on there is so good I dont mind the other quirks.
