Rooftop Photoshoot
I've recently started working with a group in Greensboro referring to itself simply as "Production Photography." It's a non-profit group started by John Ryan Flaherty, Chris Cooke, and Aaron Nace. It's slowly growing to incorporate lots of local talent including photographers, videographers, models, makeup and hair stylists, etc (I was invited on to be a behind-the-scenes shooter).
As a non-profit, it's all for the love of photography/the production. It's goal is to bring together creative (young) talent into the Greensboro arts community for collaborative projects, portfolio building, to learn from one-another, and to benefit the group and the city of Greensboro.
It's steadily growing and hopes to soon establish a permanent studio space/base camp, as well as official non-profit legal status, thanks mainly to the behind-the-scenes work of John and the forward momentum of Aaron, Chris, Rosie, and others.
I've only been involved with the group for only a couple of weeks now, but I really enjoy working with them all and I'm excited to see how far it all goes/grows. Those who have been heavily involved, especially from the beginning, are slowly becoming the "core group" (I'm also starting to consider myself part of that).
We will always be open and eager for new people, especially those with skills we need. But so far it's by "invite only." We want to avoid over crowding and rubber-neckers. We're also limiting ourselves to no more than 2 to 4 shoots a day, and only a few days a week.
Core group members will "sponsor" new people into the group on a one-on-one basis. Ideas/concepts will be accepted on a first-come-first-served basis and will be also evaluated on creativity, time, and the abilities of those involved. Those with ideas for shoots must first spend time helping on other shoots. And contributions of time, talent, equipment, opportunities, connections, and funds will always be needed.

Dejarnette - the final trip
The abandoned Dejarnette Childrens Asylum is both a beautiful and utterly haunting place. I've visited it several times, explored and photographed it thoroughly. It has become a sacred place for me.
When I found out it is due to be boarded up one last time in early July and either razed or gutted, I decided I needed to make one final trip. So, Paige and I made the drive north, spent a little time in downtown Staunton, then met Sarah and entered the hospital.
We arrived there in the late afternoon. I ended up shooting only a single roll of (expired) 35mm in the hour or so of available daylight. I had planned to shoot several rolls of film using my F2 and C220, but my plans were cut short.
Just after dusk we decided to take a break. On our way back to the car, we saw several headlights around where I had parked and assumed we had been caught. But while approaching the police, we soon discovered they were more concerned with my car than us.
Apparently, my Jetta was spotted from a nearby road. When policed investigated they assumed the car had been stolen and dumped, due to its out-of-state tags and secluded location. After giving our identification, explaining ourselves, and receiving a lecture on the dangers of trespassing and asbestosis, we were allowed to leave.
After that, we called it a night, deciding not press our luck by going back in. And of all the times visiting Dejarnette, it's kind of nice that we were run-off by the police only this one final time. It seems somewhat appropriate, and a rather fitting end to it all.
I only wish I could've taken more photos.
