Basis of the Blog

This blog is an extension of Candid Captures. The intent, depending on the day, may be one of several different things. There will likely be entries directly related to a specific event that I was hired for, yet, there may be many entries just related to my personal photography or the equipment I use.

Hopefully there may be something here of interest to you and will peak your interest to check back every once in a while.

Picture of the day 10/13/2007


This weekend was just perfect, at least as far as the weather. One thing about North Carolina, is in the fall, there is so much to see related to blooming flowers, even this late into the year.


Both on Saturday & Sunday I spent time at a couple of different local botanical gardens. On Saturday it was the North Carolina Botanical Gardens located just down the street from University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.


On this particular day there was a big football game going on, so the area was just filled with people. But as they are such big college sports fans in this area, that just meant the gardens were empty.


This shot I took was one of a few of my favorites. Being that I never really spent much time photographing nature as my focus has always been people, I still have a lot to learn. So taking a picture of this most beautiful sculpture seemed appropriate. The detail in her face was just amazing.

She is placed in the area overlooking the herbs section of garden and just seem so life-like in the gaze of her eyes.

A wonderful place for lunch after touring these gardens is almost any place on Franklin St in Chapel Hill.
