Cue the Magnum PI

June 28, 2008 | Filed Under General | 1 Comment 

Last week one of my clients took me up for a spin in a helicopter. We were in the air for 2 hours and fifteen minutes, and captured some aerial shots of several properties he will be selling. It was my first time in a helicopter, and I had a blast. I requested the doors be taken off so as not to obstruct my view etc. Basically it was like being in a jeep without any doors or windows, but around 1000 to 1500 feet up in the air. I never once felt like I was in danger.

Below are several images I took that day. We were shooting down over Lake Keowee, but we also got the chance to circle downtown Greenville a couple times so I could get a couple shots of that as well.

Thankfully, if anything were to go wrong the aircraft was well equipped with a fire extinguisher. Unfortunately the fire extinguisher was about the size of a can of mace.

Fearless.

At some point in history, someone said, “Let’s dig here.”

This is where Over the Hedge was filmed. Oh wait…

This past Saturday I shot a wedding for a few of my friends, Jon & Missy. It was a pretty hot day, but we managed to keep thing moving and fairly short. Here are just a couple shots from the day. Missy & Jon, thanks for having me.



Brand New, Brand New, Brand New

Welcome to the brand new blog. Brand new only because it’s the first. I’m going to do my best to post a couple images from each of my shoots and note any other work in which I’ve been involved. Lately I’ve been behind on my post production due to the busy shooting schedule, but I’ll post things as soon as I get through processing. I suspect posts on this blog will probably run about a week behind the shooting schedule, but who knows.

Since there won’t be a lot of images of me, at least I don’t think there will be, I thought I’d post an image so you’ll know who is behind the camera and keyboard. I’m a commercial and lifestyle photographer based in Greenville, South Carolina. I shoot an occasional wedding and enjoy the challenges of event photography as well. My wife, Mollie, and I have three children, Henry, Jude, and Lola. You’ll most likely see them on occasion here.

I hope you enjoy some of my images.
