RIP Maryanne Yerkes

Hello all-

I learned recently that my friend Maryanne Yerkes passed away last year. I worked alongside Maryanne in the theater department at Independence High School, and was part of several of my TV productions during that time. Maryanne was, and will always be a brilliant person in all ways, and I will always be thankful that our paths crossed during that time in our lives. 

I know that she is now on to her next adventure, exploring whatever comes next. Down here on earth, this world now seems a little emptier, and an important part of my life has now drifted further out of reach.

Safe travels, Maryanne. Thank you.

Charlotte Post Panel Discussion!

Just a reminder that I'll be at the Duke Library at Johnson C. Smith at 6pm on Thursday, June 20th, talking about my years photographing for The Charlotte Post. This is a rare chance to talk about a gig that I've enjoyed for the past fifteen years, and I hope to see you there.

Blumey Awards

 This past week, six days of The Blumey Awards rehearsals, multiple galas, two video shoots, and other events. Congrats to those of you that made a bet with their spouses that I would show up at the World Affairs Council gala. (Yes, there was more than one bet placed, from what I've heard.)It's Blumey Awards day! Come say hello, or look for the photographer lurking in the corners. See you soon, and see you on the road.
