Raleigh documentary photography


All my old stomping grounds are disappearing, Blimpies, Barry’s, Rathskeller, 5-0, Comet, Brewery, Bourbon St./Jack Pot and now Saslack’s. Back in the 80’s-90’s Hillsborough Street was full of energy, excitement and live music. If you were looking for a watering hole or live music Hillsborough Street was the place to be. Times have changed and it’s like a ghost town after dark.
Like most people I thought Sadlack’s Heroes would be around forever, I’m sad to see it go and be replaced with a hotel and retail. I bet they put in a Subway or a Starbucks. I wish them luck in the new location.
   Straight from the Sadlack’s blog - Sadlacks Heroes is a Raleigh, NC institution. It is located at the corner of Hillsborough and Enterprise Streets, across from NC State University. For over 30 years, Sadlacks has served Raleigh’s best and freshest heroes (including legendary vegetarian selections) while entertaining the populace with the region’s finest live musical  entertainment. The food is always fresh, using only the best meats, cheeses and vegetables cut daily. A sandwich shop by day and a bar by night, Sadlacks is a place for all-comers. It has employed many of the areas finest musicians, including members of Whiskeytown, Six String Drag, Patty Hurst Shifter, Corrosion of Conformity and many others. Stop by for a sandwich and a cold beer. Enjoy an afternoon on the porch. Bring your dog or your children. You never know who you may run into at Sadlacks.

Raleigh commercial photography


Raleigh commercial photography - Worked on a really project for CREE. We used the new CREE TW series LED lights and off the shelf brands to photograph a color comparison. I was surprised that straight out of the camera the CREE bulbs looked so much better than the other LED bulbs. I always though images were photoshopped together. It was also interesting to work with standard light fixtures you find at your local hardware store.

Raleigh fashion photography

Raleigh fashion photography - When a shoot goes from bad to worse ...... I was approached by a jewelry company to do some product photography for a website. My suggestion was to shoot the jewelry by itself on a white background. They wanted to use models. I thought it was a good idea and set-up for a tight shot on a white background, then we tried black and then gray. To many cooks in the kitchen, now they wanted to show how the jewelry went with an outfit. Now we're at full length fashion. I tried to tell them if they were selling jewelry this would not work. We ended up shooting 44-50 pieces and different outfit. I just got a call saying the images won't work for the website because you can't see the jewelry .......... I do like how the lighting turned out on the full length fashion
