Habitat Environmentally Friendly

Habitat for Humanity has always tried to be environmentally friendly, but this past month they reached a new level of environmentalism. they build a house that is LEED certified. this required a lot of work and effort but now Habitat hopes to have all future houses become LEED certified and environmentally friendly. i had the amazing opportunity to photograph the dedication of the first LEED certified house.

The King's Glorious Kitchen

King's Kitchen is a fabulous restaurant located downtown charlotte. not only do they have amazing southern cuisine with a twist but they also happen to be a non-profit! King's Kitchen donates their profits right back to the local community and is committed to making charlotte even better. the food is great, the atmosphere is inviting and the impact is astronomical.

Inspirational Lorax

The Lorax by Dr. Seuss is one of my favorite childhood/adulthood books. i think so much can be learned from many of the Dr. Seuss books and as you can tell, i named this blog based on this specific book. its all about the character the lorax who 'speaks for the trees for the trees have no tongues'. its all about protecting things that cannot protect or speak for themselves. this is what my photography is all about so i figured i would revisit my inspiration and photograph it my way. these images mostly follow the plot line of the book and i have specific quotes to accompany many of the pictures. if you have not read this book, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!! it is an amazing book and an amazing story in itself. and its of course fun.

My website that Speaks for the Unspoken

I have officially published my website. it features my non-profit work as well as personal and environmental work. it's all about speaking for things that cannot speak for themselves, a major theme in The Lorax by Dr. Seuss: which gave me my inspiration for everything i do in my career now basically.
