I rode around all over Gaston County photographing the best-decorated houses in town for the Christmas eve edition of The Gazette. I got some good tips and was able to find some truly impressive light displays.

More Funky Lights
I took some more Palaroids recently for my Polaroid Lights project. As with the previous photos, these Polaroids were made with multiple exposures of a point source of light in a dark room, some of them long exposures with camera movement, and others stationary. Focus and distance to the light source were also varied.
These photos are not of a Christmas tree, as before, however, but of 'On' lights on electronic devices. The red is from a surge protector, and the green light featured prominently here is on a computer speaker.
I liked funky effect so much after the first time so much that I just had to find some other lights to use the technique on. I love how the different lights create and entirely different look with the same technique. The Christmas tree pictures have a decidedly festive feel, while these have more of a cool techno feel.
The second picture from the bottom even has lines reminiscent of sound waves -- appropriate since the green light is on a speaker!
Now I'm addicted, and looking for my next fix. If I see some interesting lights in a dark room I'm going to pull out my Polaroid and fire away!
N.C. Wesleyan Game Day
Running back L.J. Scott, left, and wide receiver Donte' Mack relax in the locker loom at N.C. Wesleyan on Sept. 12 while waiting on their shuttle bus to Northern Nash High School for a home game against Salisbury. With no football stadium on campus, even the team's home games are on the road.
This fall, I spent a whole Saturday documenting a game day for the N.C. Wesleyan College football team, from breakfast to victory. With a few news assignments squeezed in there for good measure, it was a long day, but a fun project.

Mayfair Uproar

Below: Dr. Chandra Meachem-Tucker, left, gives Bojangles an exam at Riverside Animal Hospital. Bojangles was brought to the hospital by the Humane Society at the request of Fuller after she received an eviction notice.
Bojangles was diagnosed with Feline immunodeficiency virus (the feline equivalent of HIV), mild heart worms, fleas, cuts, bruises, and other ailments, but according to Meachem-Tucker he could live a long and happy life with treatment and caring owners.
