11-4-26 The wild horses of the Outer Banks on November morning. If you watch this whole video and expected to see some wild horses, just imagine how I felt driving around for two hours and I could not find one horse! I found a single pile of droppings and saw 4 horse tours, but absolutely zero horses.

11-4-26 - It’s shocking how much Halloween candy I’m going to have to blame on Joy dog eating this year. It’s not going to look good on her. 😂

I just wrapped up a real estate shoot at Surround Sound in Rodanthe. Take a look at the promo video I made for this soundfront home! Despite what you might think video editing is still very new to me so I hope to get much better with each one. That’s also why I’m not charging for the promo videos for now.

New this winter, every real estate shoot includes

1. High-resolution interior and exterior photos with professional lighting
2. Drone photos and video
3. A 2D floor plan of the home
4. A promotional video at least 30 seconds long

Pricing starts at $499 for homes with up to 5 bedrooms. Each additional bedroom is $100. Homes with 10 or more bedrooms require prior approval.

Have an Outer Banks listing or vacation rental you’d like me to shoot? Send me a message to book.

Totally by accident, I realized I’d captured some of the crew aboard the Seacor Hawk enjoying a peaceful evening offshore under the moon!

And YES, this is a ship, NOT an oil rig! It sat just offshore in Nags Head, NC, for several days while we had rough seas. Once the seas calmed down, it was able to continue on to wherever it was headed.

How this ship does what it does is a complete mystery to me, but WOW—what an incredible scene to capture!

Photo prints from this night are available on my website. Link in comments to the gallery.

11-1-26 | Shoreline update from Rodanthe, NC.

After a summer without major storms or hurricane swells, this stretch of beach appeared to be rebuilding. But just a few weeks and two strong nor’easters later, the shoreline looks vulnerable again.

I’ve filmed this shoreline by drone each year for the past six years and will share a video comparing the changes soon.

There’s no easy fix, no simple solution, and plenty of blame to go around. But this place is beloved by millions, and no one is leaving anytime soon.

People often point to the cost to taxpayers of maintaining the highway along this tiny strip of sand. But those costs are only part of the story. My understanding is that the whole Hatteras Island/Ocracoke area generates far more in tax revenue than the government spends maintaining that highway. From a business standpoint this whole area is very profitable for the government. Putting that aside It also supports homes, businesses, and a tourism economy—and for many residents and the people who call this home, it’s the only home they’ve ever known.

Keeping this lifeline open means more than simply protecting a road and the cost of moving or demolishing a few threatened homes.

11-1-26 The house from the movie, Nights In Rodanthe also known as the InnAt Rodanthe. I was in the area shooting real estate and thought I’d capture the area again and see how the shoreline looks.

11-1-26 Pea island as of today. It’s a very small amount of space between the one lane and and the ocean, but it was smooth sailing with only a 5 minute wait on my way to do some drone and real estate work In Rodanthe today.

These full moon photos of the Pride of Baltimore are just incredible! I once got to see the pride of Baltimore out at see when I was coming in on the Capt BC. These are obviously not my photos but I’ll post the photos I took of the Baltimore again. But certainly give these photos there credit they are incredible!

10-31-26 HAPPY HALLOWEEN! There is an incredible Halloween lawn display in Wanchese across from the Wanchese Marina. It’s the biggest display of Halloween statues I’ve ever seen and you can make your way around the yard and see all the displays come to life. Adam Conley who set it all up says he will keep it up as long as he can through November. COME CHECK IT OUT? Absolutely amazing and this is a small fraction of where there is to see!
