Photos: Shark swap at the aquarium

The South Carolina Aquarium recently exchanged one of their female sharks for a pubescent male shark from the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher. Ours went out early in the morning, so this bleary-eyed photog didn’t make it, but I did show up for the arrival of the new shark. Not yet fully grown, [...]

Photos from the Spirit of South Carolina

I can think of worst things than sailing around the harbor on a beautiful Thursday morning. I hitched a ride aboard the Spirit of South Carolina during one of their Education-at-Sea day sails. The ship is a double-masted work of art and the kids were stoked to be out on the water.
This particular trip was [...]

Fight night at the Plex 3/28

After taking a winter break from the monthly boxing bouts at the Plex I decided to crank it up again and see who they had in the lineup. The night went a lot smoother than some previous matches I photographed and overall I was impressed by the range of fighters that showed up. [...]

A Decent Animal bids farewell

Here’s some photos from Saturday’s farewell gig at the Pour House.  A Decent Animal was joined by Lindsay Holler and Sea of Cortez and all played to a full house.
Said Graphic Guru John Royall, “Much-loved local rock band A Decent Animal (Bassist Richard Weld, Pictured) filled the Pour House with well-wishers on Saturday night. They [...]

Palm wielding anti-war hippies invade downtown

It was a beautiful day for a march and the lack of turnout didn’t diminish the enthusiasm of the thirty or so anti-war protestors. They started at Marion Square led by a guy with a missle on his head and made their way down King to the Customs House and then down East Bay [...]

Dead Babies

This is the most bizarre and disturbing use of portrait photography I have ever seen and apparently I’m the last to hear about it. An organization called Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep (NILMDTS) maintains a list of photographers who offer Infant Bereavement Photography. They have a complete collection of softly lit [...]

Shooting the moon

When living in Atlanta, I had a spot in an old warehouse district that would blow transformers 2 or 3 times a year. When the power went out, the cinder block boxes we lived in were pitch black. So, my neighbors and I would slowly wander out into the street and alleyways to [...]

SF web conference dispatch

So, here it is, my plan for the new charlestoncitypaper.com:
Leverage local listing databases with augmented folksonomic tag cloud phrasings to invigorate Twitter chatter blocks using widgetized Facebook API classes. Then, initiate an intermediary custom CMS development program that prioritizes multi-tabbed thematic query forms in a cross-column stack sytem followed by rotating Flash video clips with [...]

Train vs. Truck

It’s pretty rare that spot news happens so close to a newsroom, but that’s exactly what happened today. A hauling truck got smacked in the rear by a slow moving train on East Bay st., one block from the newsroom. The train operators were tight lipped and the truck driver was being checked [...]
