Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival AND Merlefest (April 2009)
2 four day festivals in 11 days. Age is definitely catching up to me. I'll have some select shots from both festivals online as soon as I find the time. Thanks for your continued interest!
Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival (Fall 2008) - 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th (New!)
The kind folks who operate Shakori Hills invited me to shoot for them at the fall version of the 2008 Grassroots Festival. I have been shooting out there for a number of years but this was my first time in any official capacity. I will eventually have a gallery for all four days but for now I have uploaded some select shots from Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Enjoy!

Flatpicking Guitar Magazine (July/August '08); 3 shots featured in the James Nash article!
Sometime around late May or early June I received an email from James Nash of The Waybacks. Flatpicking Guitar Magazine was featuring James in an upcoming article and he hoped to use a photo I had taken of him a couple of years back. I said yes, then offered him several other shots to choose from. He picked five, the magazine ran three. Cool.
