Cary, NC – Long before there was a CaryCitizen, a group of local photographers had gotten together online to share photos of life in our town. The Cary, NC Flickr Group has grown since its inception in 2007 to more than 125 photographers and almost 1000 pictures.

I approached a largish puddle (about six feet across) and held the camera just above the water line. Since it was too low to look through the viewfinder, I just [...]
Cary, NC – Several years ago, I met artist Clark Whittington at a film festival in Winston-Salem. Cigarette sales by vending machine had recently been banned in North Carolina and Wittington had the brilliant idea of using the unwanted machines as a way to sell art.
