On Saturday, September 3, 2022, I visited Rural Hill in Huntersville, North Carolina, to see the reenactment of this year’s Battle of Charlotte. Tickets were purchased online in advance.

Setting up antennas for Field Day
I took my friend Paul Closius to Siler Presbyterian Church in Wesley Chapel where the Union County Amateur Radio Society club was setting up two 4:1 dipoles and a vertical antenna. One of the dipoles was 130 feet end to end. All for high frequency operations, I presume. We sat and watched as four menContinue reading “Setting up antennas for Field Day”

Single frame: Waxhaw water tower from northeast view
Heading south through Waxhaw, the day was coming to a close and traffic was heavy so I pulled off at BB&T bank and from the top of the hill, I was able to get a photograph of the water tower through the trees.
Single frame: Waxhaw Antiques
This was taken in May of 2015. I distinctly remembering having an hour of free time after I had gotten my hair and beard trimmed at Broome Barber Shop. It was a warm cloudy day and the sun was high in the sky, which I knew would lend towards a good black and white withContinue reading “Single frame: Waxhaw Antiques”
Single frame: Train passes under Waxhaw foot bridge
Here’s a new black and white photograph that I shot at sunset in 2015 from the famous Waxhaw foot bridge in North Carolina. Originally, this composition was on my old Instagram account in color.
