Baltimore Harbor to the Chesapeake Bay
I recently went out with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) to photograph the Baltimore Harbor and surrounding areas. We performed multiple tests and sampled the water. Overall, it appears that the state of the bay has improved over the past several years, though the water quality is still poor and visibly contaminated. The area has a long road ahead to get back to the healthy, functional ecosystem it once was. While out on the CBF’s boat, the “Snow Goose,” I photographed some of the bay’s worst polluters (past and present), common bay recreational activities, and area wildlife. I am especially interested in how animals have adapted to years of concentrated industrial activity, and the resulting pollution.

Coastal Erosion
Along the coast at Fort Fisher in Kure Beach, North Carolina, both temporary and permanent seawalls have been constructed to protect ocean-front properties. This method of slowing erosion and prolonging the life of selective beach property is controversial, as experts say that structures such as sandbags solely protect the areas behind them, and exacerbate the damage and erosion elsewhere. These particular photos were taken in front of a Kure Beach property called The Riggings. The shore in front of The Riggings has been negatively impacted by an adjacent rock seawall built to protect the historic Civil War site, Fort Fisher. The extreme erosion evident at Fort Fisher shows that whenever a coastline is altered by the addition of structures, damage is simply diverted, rather than prevented.

International Home Furnishings Market 2011
Growing up in High Point, North Carolina, the most exciting time of year came during the International Furniture Market, also known as the International Home Furnishings Market. High Point is often called the “Furniture Capital of the World,” and the city heavily relies on the success of the biannual Furniture Market. The market brings a big city feel to the usually sleepy city of 105,000. These photos showcase amazing architecture of the downtown district, and some of the “big city” sights that are only seen in High Point for tw0 weeks of every year.
