Photos: Boxing at Omar Shrine

Jim Kelly’s back in action and held his most recent boxing event at Omar Shrina at Patriot’s Point last Friday night.  It’s a good location and if they could get lighting worked out, would be perfect.  The issues with getting qualified boxers seem to have been worked out.  These fights seemed to draw more from […]

Photos: Kulture Klash and The Mill

Kulture Klash was packed this year, nearly doubling the attendance from last year. It offered a pretty broad spectrum of Charleston visual artists and there were some great performances, too. Getting around was difficult at times, and the crowd was a little more party oriented than last year, but it’s still an amazing achievement.
After the […]

Photos: Race Week

Charleston was blessed with some great weather for this year’s Race Week. The annual event draws sailors from around the country and offers a glimpse of the international competitive sailing scene. Boat classes included “premiere One-Design, PHRF, and IRC regatta for racing sailboats 22 - 70 feet in length.”
I got a chance to ride on […]

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, […]

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. […]

Comedy Fest Finale Photos

After a weekend filled with laughter, pizza, and muscadine wine, the Charleston Comedy Fest has come to a close. Saturday night’s finale at Theatre 99 brought many of the performers together for one big gang-bang blowout. Hot Sauce, The Have Nots!, The Apple Sisters, and many more got on stage to share a […]

The end of an era: Bert’s Bar

Bert’s Bar held a final blowout on Friday night to celebrate 30 years of good times and old friends. Hundreds of people showed up to bid farewell to the legendary Sullivan’s Island watering hole. Locals and wellwishers paraded through downtown from the bar to the Firehouse, escorted by a brass band and […]

Loggerhead gets early parole

The South Carolina Acquarium’s Sea Turtle Rescue program released ‘Edisto’ on Saturday. The hundred or so onlookers cheered as he ambled his way towards the surf and then disappeared into the waters off Folly Beach. Here’s some shots I got of the event:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Plex Boxing Recap

Plex boxing took a hard hit a few months ago when the Carolina Boxing Commission came down hard on the regulations. I left wondering if they’d be able to recover and bring lineups worth seeing. Thursday night showed the Jim Kelly had no plans of giving up and delivered a good fight card […]
