Ely









One of the last warm days of the summer I went to a ranch in Boonville,NC to photograph calf roping. When I got there I met Ely, only 3 years old, who wanted to personally show me how to rope and get around the ranch. He loved the camera and wanted to take me for a spin in his golf cart.
I used a Nikon N90 35mm body, 24-85mm & 180mm lenses, and 200 speed 135 Fuji film.
I shot all of these on aperture priority at f/5.6.

Erin and Ryan







These are photos from a shoot I did of my friends Erin and Ryan, who just got married. They let me photograph them one afternoon in the UNC-Asheville Botanical Gardens. I used a 35mm Minolta Maxxum set to aperture priority (f/8), ISO 400 and 135 BW TMax film.
