It's been a while!

Wow, things have been very busy and I've been caught up in so much the past few weeks. I am still waiting to get my computer back from Dell, but I was able to have the data recovered for free from my HD. Unfortunately because of all of this, the website and printing has been on hold.

I've been working to get my prints featured in a local gallery back in my home town. Things should be a go for my prints, both framed and sleeved, to be available at Bohemia (http://bohemianc.com) in West Jefferson, North Carolina. I will likely feature 8x12 and 12x18 inch prints in white mats.

I will attempt to post a few recent photo edits (the old computer is somehow still able to run CS3) from Stone Mountain, Hanging Rock and Cullasaja Gorge.

If you are interested in any prints, peyton.hale@gmail.com is the best method of reaching me.

Off trekking & updates...

I'm headed out in the AM to Stone Mountain State Park, North Carolina's largest state park and one of the eastern most sites for waterfalls. I'll be putting my Singh Ray Vari-ND filter to work on some of the more famous waterfall sites and maybe trekking into some areas for some sunrise/sunset and night time photography. I plan on stopping through Hanging Rock State Park to shoot the upper and lower Cascades and maybe a final stop on my way back to Raleigh to shoot the sunset from atop Hanging Rock :).

Look for updates next week after I get back and begin processing some of the images.

Looks like I'll be taking a quick trip to Culesaja Gorge in southwestern NC in a few weeks to meet up with a few friends and shoot some of the remote streams in the area. Colorado is in the works for June (although late July in the San Juan Mountains is a great time for wildflowers) and August may hold a week in Washington state exploring in and around Mount Rainer.

Keep checking in for more!
