I may not have finished on the top step at the ‘cross races, but I did at the Randolph Community College Wellness Run today.
I win lunch with the school president and a half day off paid.
Bike ride first thing in the morning, as the sun rises….
Then lesson on lighting interviews for video
First year head shots (mugs)
I am covering class lectures for my boss this week, so I am bringing in graduates to cover my lectures. First is Allison Isley, fresh off speaking at the Grandfather Mountain Workshop, she went a little long, but the class really enjoyed her talk.
Carolina ‘Cross on the the screen… in front of a standing room only crowd!
After the film block, film makers got to introduce themselves and take questions… the best part was when another filmmaker used part of her introduction time to gush over our film and complimenting it as a first time documentary film!
“Khabecca” – Khadejeh and Becca made the trip to Raleigh for the opening night of the Longleaf Film Festival and the premiere of their class documentary “Carolina ‘Cross”
Signing the movie makers poster for the North Carolina Museum of History collection.

RCC graduation. Only 3 photography students walked… they really don’t feel like they are finished since they have summer classes before the finish!
But Sam’s friends were also graduating! Kaylee who calls me “Daddy Craig”

President Shackleford starts his remarks for the Grand Opening, notice the 3 folks to his left in blue shirts? My coworkers, he started with introducing the photography instructors and staff…. and I was in the attic taking pictures, opps!
Our Gallery. It was great seeing old friends, coworkers and alumni! We are renovated! new space, equipment and courses, a great day for the photography department!
Louie Palu, an award winning documentary photographer and filmmaker, known for his work examining social political issues such as human rights, conflict and poverty.
Palu showed his latest documentary, “Road Through War” a road trip along the front lines of the war in Ukraine, and talked to the Photojournalism class and first year students about looking at old ideas in a new way, story telling and preparing for reportage in dangerous environments.
Out of order, I somehow skipped posting it (not that is worth it, but the only thing I shot)
My Fall class schedule.
