In response to calls for more people pictures, I’m announcing a new website called FACES. The site will feature some of my most recent portraiture work (though I’m not wild about the word “portrait” which sounds so stiff and formal!) Photographing people is more like directing than simply aiming a camera. The challenge is drawing out what makes the person interesting, and allowing it to be revealed on his or her face. They may be 8 years old or 80, but one thing is for sure – no two are ever alike. http://www.cdphoto.com/FACES

Playing Fashion Photographer Again
A recent assignment for a startup pub took me on location to Carolina Beach (Wilmington, NC area) with local model Meagan Reedy. This beach is known for its brightly colored buildings, including a lime-green surf shop, which became base camp for the day. Here are a few of my favorite images from the shoot. Although I enjoy many types of photography, the fashion/ lifestyle genre is pretty new for me. It’s very different from shooting to a well-defined ad layout, and I really enjoy the freedom. Since I’ve had several requests for more “people” samples, look for the official release of my new website titled “FACES”, coming soon.
And We Have a Winner (in NC anyway!)
A few days ago I got an opportunity to photograph one of the contenders for America’s highest office. Barack Obama came to Wilmington’s UNCW campus for what was billed as his largest-ever town hall meeting. Over 6,000 people turned out to see the man and hear his plan for our country. The room was electric. CNN just projected him to win this state in the hotly contested race against Mrs. Clinton. And while I’m not officially endorsing anyone here, it certainly would be nice for some change.
