Times Square

2011-01-12T00:15:03-04:00

For Jay's bachelor party we sprung for swanky accomodations at the Renaissance Hotel in Times Square. The room was on the 10th floor and in position to give us a sweet view down onto the chaos of Times Square. The advertising certainly loses its scale advantage from up there.

1st Ward Panoramas

2016-11-24T12:45:31-04:00

7th Street Station (top) is the last stop on the Lynx Blue Line. I would argue that it is the most urban station along the entire line with the ground floor retail in the parking deck it is nestled beneath. The top panorama is taken across the tracks from that in front of the ImaginOn [...]

3rd Ward Panorama

2011-01-13T14:47:23-04:00

3rd Ward, or the area northwest of the intersection of Trade and Tryon used to primarily warehouses. Beginning with the construction of the football stadium for the Carolina Panthers, the district is in the midst of a transformation. This panorama is taken from what would be the seating just behind home plate of the proposed [...]

Fourth Ward Park Panorama

2011-01-13T14:56:18-04:00

Fourth Ward Park is tucked in between the historic neighborhood and growing skyline of Charlotte. It was the perfect spot to test my new workflow given the way buildings tower over the narrow slice of greenspace. I was able to shoot the entire scene in 21 photos, only 9 of which contained the constant motion [...]

California Trip 2009 Photos

The family just got back from a 10 day long trip to California. It was pretty intense and we were moving almost every waking hour. We saw a tons of stuff in an environment completely different than the East Coast. Go directly to the galleries or check out all of the posts under the "California [...]

San Diego Zoo Photos

2016-11-24T12:45:31-04:00

A Saturday afternoon at the San Diego Zoo.  We didn't get off to a good start by seeing the reptiles first, but the monkeys, tiger, polar bears, pandas, elephants and giraffes more than made up for it.  Overall, it is a good zoo, with a wide variety of animals in what look to be comfortable [...]

Thousand Oaks Panorama

2011-01-13T15:15:48-04:00

Taken from the end of a residential street in the suburban city of Thousand Oaks. The houses perched on these hills have a precarious relationship with nature due to the ever present forest fire threat. Use the two icons in the lower left of the thumbnail to launch the interactive panorama in the desired format. [...]
