Idea to use images instead of titles for series.

Ponyboy, Sodapop Curtis, and the rest of the gang - Kyle

Woah. Ok so I just looked around and realized that, unless you count the surrogate post that Aaron made for me, my last update was in June. Let's not let that happen again. Anyways, there's been a ton of good content on here and I can't wait to get back into the mix with everyone. These are from oldish negatives but new scans. And by new I mean scanned in December. See how behind I am...

Mock Clothing Tag (enlarge to read)

Mock Tag- "fighting shite never goes out of fashion" was what I was going to write on the side, but instead I left a certain companies tag still on it.

Help

Hey guys, I am looking for some help. I am trying to incorporate my web site and my blog together to give a general impression that I can do weddings and at the same time from my blog show myself to be creative and versatile, while not making too many people run away.... check my blog and website and offer some criticism of it, should it be changed. Should I lighten up or concentrate on the blog to be an extension of the website etc.... and less it's own entity

Daily faces

Shot as a quick exploration of the faces we pull, in our daily lives, accompanying the daily routines we do.

Butcher: Studio time, with friends, an image shot off the cuff

Portait Time! Aaron and Kyle

So the other day i got my new 80-200mm 2.8 so kyle and i decided to have portrait time. The first photo was taken by kyle with his 50mm 1.8, and the second was with the new lens. Nothing like some thrift store clothes and a bed sheet to get the fun times goin.

The NEW!!!! Butcherphotography.com

Just started up a new website and blog. This photo I put in because it is the latest image I have shot. Shot on a small digital camera, while bracing a torch in my mouth to light it.

Sorry for the Slackness - Aaron

So this thing really fell off lately. Thanks to The Butcher for getting us back off of our asses. There should be some coming up from kyle in the near future too.

These are the first couple in a series im working on called "Highway Jesus". Ive found that whats interesting about religious billboards isnt just what is on them but where they are. They always seem to be in the the most country yards in town. These two are on my trip between wilmington and greenville nc. More to come as I find them.

butcherphotography- Thanksgiving in PA

polaroid 4x5..... shot through my arca swiss, once developed allowed rain to drop on it and affect the emulsion. This plays on my interest in the physicality of images, the physical qualities the meta properties of film and images in particular, as well as digital. I haven't worked out whether to keep the black edges.. if it was the image that mattered then I would but the borders also matter, particularly if they aren't 'nice.'

Chloe & Coco - Aaron

These are my brother Josh's cats. Coco in the top right is still with us. Chloe left us this week...so this is for her.

RIP you crazy bitch.

Meteors! - Aaron

So tonight brian and i went down to the point past fort fisher to try and get some shots of the meteor shower. As it turned out there wasnt a ton of activity. I did however manage to capture some pretty cool long exposures. Each of these are both roughly 10 minutes a piece. I havent done exposures this long before so it was pretty fun. As you can see in the first one, there are some pretty cool "Star Streaks" as well as some thunder storms on the horizon and at least one meteor trail. Its the one on the bottom that is going the opposite way of the rest of the stars. Lets have some comments god damnit.

Mustache Comp - Aaron

Well Kyle had suggested a while back that I add a colage of the Mustache March! portraits. So here they are, in all their glory. Bask in the warm glow of som magnificent mustachio'd men. Enjoy.

The Station and the Journey - Russ

Hey there. These three are from a short while ago now. Kyle and I had spent our final weekend in London and had made our way to London Victoria train station to head back to my fiancee's house. Despite being half an hour early, we missed our train because Kyle's luggage was so heavy we didn't get on the train quick enough! To kill time I snapped, and got that one of the dude on the phone. The other two were on the train - me playing with long exposures. Lemme know what you think.

David Paul - Nate

This is Aaron posting this photo for Nate because he took it with my camera. This is one of our good friends and bartenders at FSB, Dave. Hes a pretty angry guy most of the time, but once you get a couple brews in him he tends to lighten up. And if you get a few more in him he tends to want to wrestle. Im sure you all know the type.

New Lens Shenanigans - Aaron

So I just got my new lens in the mail today. it is the Nikon 10.5 mm 2.8 fisheye. Havent shot with a lot of fisheyes so I am pretty excited about experimenting with it. This is the first shot with it. Its actually a little HDR. Kyle, you need to hurry up and get back here, im trying to figure out RAW's and im having some issues. Let me know what you guys think.

Purdy Flowers - Aaron

Here is a little preview for some of the Wedding photos from my brothers wedding on the 23rd of june. There are all sorts of good macro opportunites in the Elizabethen Gardens in Manteo. Let me know what you think.

bored downtown-Nate

I got a little bored a week or so ago and decided to go snap a few shots downtown. There are quite a few interesting litle alley ways in wilmington. I love all the old brick.

long time no post

I have been reminiscing the last couple days about last summer and how much fun it was with everyone and so I thought I'd post a few pics I had lying around from last summer.. One of my favorite memories was fourth of July.. We had a big "family" dinner, stumbled down to watch the fireworks and came back and shot fireworks out of our crotches... good times. Miss you guys!
