Film Scans

I finally got around to scanning film I'd shot a while back. Here's a few I dig and hope you do too.

More Football

Fun With Weeklies Part 1

We used to just have to turn in up to 4 (hopefully) beautiful pictures. That was bad enough.

Fun With Weeklies Part 2

Now they're layouts, and not nearly as much fun.

Western Guilford Vs Ragsdale

This was my first time shooting football. It was a Thursday night JV game, but it was action packed. I shot it with a Nikon D3s so with its ridiculously high frame per second rate, I ended up with LOTS of pictures to comb through. I'm still brand new at this, but here's a couple that caught my eye so far. Both numbers 35 and 12 were very soon after taken down.

Tobacco Harvest

While most people got to go to the beach or just enjoy themselves on Labor Day, I went with my brother in law to the Wiggins Farm in Lenoir County to witness the harvesting of tobacco and all the steps that go into preparing it for market. I thought it was an interesting topic, but the guys working the harvest thought it was just work. The opportunity to shoot the harvest fell in my lap and I had only a film camera with me, so some of the shots are a bit grainy.

The top picture is of Mariana feeding tobacco straight from the field into crates for curing. The next picture is of the line the tobacco goes through to be sorted and cleaned. The final picture is of 800-pound bales of tobacco, harvested, cured, sorted, cleaned, compressed and ready to go to auction.

Some of my original "portfolio" work that I still love having taken

A weekly for Bill or an example of Greensboro character?

Actually, it ended up being neither but I still thought it was pretty cool. This is the jukebox from Fincastle's on South Elm Street in Greensboro. I think their burgers are incredible.
