Filtered through porches, columns, and the pragmatism of rural life. From high-style symmetry to modest gestures of grandeur, these homes reflect how Greek Revival ideals linger in North Carolina’s residential landscape, reshaped by time, weather, and working hands.

I had to ask myself what draws me to photographing a place. A disappearing South: I think I’m trying to document what’s vanishing — a cultural landscape changing under economic shifts, development, or generational change.

The river leads to Wilmington, one of the oldest and most important port cities in North Carolina. In the next photo, you’ll spot just one pothole — but when the water level drops, many more appear.

Even the light fears the thicket. Where spider webs hang like warnings, and trees grow too close to breathe. There are places the forest doesn’t want you to go. A path for the living, a maze for the lost.

This photo shows a trail leading to Raven Rock in North Carolina. A forest fire scorched the left side, but the trail acted as a natural firebreak, preventing the flames from crossing to the other side.

Capturing the beauty of Asheville and the Blue Ridge Mountains from the Grove Park Inn. Amidst the stunning views, we also remember the resilience of our local artists. 💔 The last photo shows an artist’s heartfelt plea for support as they recover from devastating floods. Their creativity shines through even in tough times, with work salvaged from a damaged studio drying out in the hope of finding new homes. Let’s rally together for our community and the souls behind the art.
