Home Improvements

Owning a home is a love/hate relationship. Sure having your own space, being able to turn up your music as loud as you want, and not wasting money on rent are great things, but wow does it suck up your time. I've spent the past few weeks doing some spring cleaning, adding on some improvements (with the help of my awesome dad), fixing one thing after the other, and cleaning up the lawn. It's always my reward after to take some awesome pictures of my hard work!

Before...



Framing is up!



Making a total mess all over the yard



All done!









You wish you had a dad cool enough to help you turn your kitchen into a nightclub!



Electroluminescent Liquor Cabinet!



Finally filled up the hole in my front yard with a little fountain!

Alright thats all for now! Big thanks to DG Fence and Deck, my father, sister, lowes, and Jesus!

Top Five Architectural Shots of 2009

This year I had the awesome chance to take an Architectural Photography class at RIT. It definitely helped as it brought my architectural skills to a whole new level. Here are my favorites from the year!

Featured: Image published in Rochester, NY photobook

Last year I had several images published in Capture Rochester, the premier book of Rochester, NY photography. This year, although I haven't been up there too much, I also had an image published. If your in Rochester, head down to your local bookstore and pick up a copy, it just hit shelves this past week! Here is the winning image, taken underground University of Rochester Campus.

Grand Opening: New Meeting Room!

Well I've finished putting the final touches on my brand new meeting room. It's filled with some awesome leather couches, coffee tables, and lots of photos! From now on I'll be scheduling meetings here. Check it out!

Greenville iCar

"What a cool looking building!" I said as I sped down I-85. Little did I know that it was the new multi-million dollar iCar automotive research center in Greenville. Needless to say I had to stop and get a picture with a piece of automotive excellence in front of it!

NC State Hospital

A few weeks ago I had a chance to drive through UNC State Hospital in Raleigh, NC. It was beautiful, and the lighting was as well, so I decided to make a couple quick snaps. Enjoy!

House Update!

Well I'm pretty much all settled into my house (for now). I'm still lacking a bit in the furniture department but that will come with time. All the major stuff is moved in and ready to go. Here's a few pictures!

New Island!

Early Morning Drive

A few weeks ago I got up early to do some driving through the mountains of West Virginia. Aside from some super fun road, the scenery was absolutely awesome! Here are some of my favorites!





One of the longest arch bridges in the world


This is one of my favorite images so far this year!






Through the tunnels












So beautiful

New House!

Well I bought a house! After looking for over a month, I've finally decided on one here in Greenville. It's a little big for me (what do I need with 4 bedrooms!) but I'm sure I'll grow into it. Needless to say I'm really excited! I should be closing in about a month. Here are a few pictures!

The rainbow in the backyard sold me
