February 29 - March 6, 2016

This was a hard week of work and a fun weekend of play! On Thursday, I took pics for Urban Ministries of Durham's Empty Bowls annual benefit at the Durham Convention Center. This year was a record breaker for them, raising $109,000 to offer food, shelter and necessities for our neighbors in need. Local artists crafted up beautiful bowls for guests to take with them and local restaurants and culinary services cooked up some delicious soups to sample. The People's Choice award went to Brock Premier Culinary Services with their Sweet Corn and Poblano Pepper Chowder, but there were some pretty solid contenders.

This weekend our dear friends, Amanda and Kelly came down from Boston for a visit so we hit up some local must-sees. Lunch at Trophy Brewing Company, Yahtzee at Crank Arm, Bonbons at Viederi, Arsenal v Tottenham rivalry game at Bull McCabes, UNC v Duke rivalry at Fullsteam, and a nice hike through Eno River State Park. All in all it was a pretty solid week.

About the project:

If you take a look through my hard drives, you'll find folders and folders of photos, most of which never truly have had their time in the limelight. These photos are the result of some random moments that I caught while my camera happened to be close by, photowalks from around town, a beautiful instance where the sunlight hit a subject just right, but none of these times warranted a dedicated blog post or feature story on my website. Many of these photos I really like, but once they're snapped they sadly get lost in the digital abyss to be found months later when I sift through my earlier work just for fun.

To bring some of these lost images to the surface and make sure they get their time to be enjoyed by others, I'm embarking on a journey this year to share my weeks in photos with you all. Not only will this give me a platform to post the random beauty I see in the world during my day-to-day, but will also encourage me to once again bring my camera with me everywhere so I can be sure to catch those visions once I see them.
