120,000 miles and still rolling (2/9/17)

I've owned the same car for almost eight years. This week, the odometer hit 120,000 miles. Sure, it's required some expensive repairs here and there, but it's still going strong. 

Snow day (1/8/17)

it snowed 6 inches in Salisbury from Jan 6 to Jan 7. Much of it happened overnight. I woke up as more was coming down and took this picture. Smartphone picture. 

Capitol Dome (1/03/17)

For three days in January 2017, I traveled to Washington, D.C. to write about the swearing in of two local congressmen. The exercise app on my phone said I walked more than five miles in one day, but it felt like a lot more. This photo is of the dome in the U.S. Capitol. It was taken with my smartphone. 

Neon lights (12/30/16)

Taken outside of the Amtrak train station in Birmingham, Ala. during a trip home for Christmas. Smartphone picture.

Low light test (12/27/16)

Not a particularly impressive photo, except for the fact that it was taken with my phone in awful lighting conditions. The light post on this picture is really all there was.

I took this with my smartphone in manual mode while taking an Amtrak train home for Christmas.

Sunset statue (12/19/16)

The sun sets behind an angel statue in downtown Salisbury, N.C. The Statue is known by the name "fame." It's honors soldiers who fought in the Civil War. Taken with my DSLR.

Let the light shine in (12/11/16)

The sun shines through a patch of trees and shrubs beside a road in southern Rowan County NC. Smartphone picture.

Christmas on deck (12/9/16)

Belltower rising (12/8/16)

A photo of Salisbury's belltower taken on my smartphone on Dec. 8. it's one of my favorite buildings in the city.

Let's start again (12/08/16)

I've been bad over the past year about posting photos here, so I'm making a commitment to myself to update here more regularly. Making a blog post about blogging more often makes it more likely to happen right?
