Bees and Honey

We extracted the honey from the hives on the farm, it was delicious and the wax is going to be used by Fat and the Moon. I learned a lot and Caleb has been teaching me about maintaining the hives and how it all works.

Over the past few months I have had the pleasure of shooting performances by Blue Skies Burlesque and Studio Zahiya, two groups filled with awesome Asheville talent.

Dead Horse Bay

 

In the summer of 2009, we went exploring to the edges of Brooklyn. It took us a couple hours by bike and train, our destination was Dead Horse Bay which is also know as Bottle Beach. According to wikipedia, "during the seventeenth century, Dutch settlers built tide mills to grind wheat into flour. A remaining millstone can still be found along the Millstone trail. From the nineteenth century to the twentieth century the area has been used in a variety of ways, including manufacturing fertilizer from the remains of dead animals, producing fish oil from the menhaden caught in the bay, and more recently a landfill for the disposal of New York City’s garbage". We found soda and medicine bottles from the fifties, old shoe pieces from when there used to be a shoe factory, old boats, and a man who told us tales of the bay, as he had lived on the beach for years. 

Snow Storm Silence

It's been a while. I have not posted in 2 years, but have not stopped shooting. I have been going through old photos, editing, etc. So here's to a new start, and with that I leave you with these images I took in a blizzard in the South back in December of 2009.
