Quick four pictures from yesterday’s Ladies’ Luncheon that I sponsored for the Downtown Raleigh Alliance alongside BB&T, North State Bank, SynergySpa, WRAL, and others! The focus this year was women in technology, with Kelcey Carlson moderating. The panelists included Brooks Bell (CEO of Brooks Bell), Kristy Timberlake (owner of Opus 1), and Niki Kohari (project manager for Rally Software and entrepreneur for AgileZen).

 

The Raleigh Downtown Farmers Market has returned! I photographed Opening Day for the Downtown Raleigh Alliance again this year and was loving the new layout and new vendors. :) I also love seeing the old vendors… most of whom I know at this point. They’re awesome people and sell awesome products. Aside from produce, you can find fish, peanut butter, honey, eggs, spices, and all sorts of other goodies… all produced within 90 miles of downtown Raleigh. :) Visit on Wednesdays from 10am-2pm in City Plaza on Fayetteville St.

I was invited last week by Glenwood Hospitality Associates to take photographs of the construction site of the first hotel in Raleigh’s Glenwood South district – the Hampton Inn & Suites. It was definitely something different, and I must say that when I woke up that morning I did not anticipate literally hanging off the roof of 510 Glenwood with my ankles being held by one of the owners of the hotel. :) Nor did I really anticipate the climb up the scaffolding to take pictures inside one of the top floors. There was a lot of deep breathing and meditation techniques employed to coax myself up and down those stairs… :) As a fan of roller coasters and high observation decks, I told Geoff, “I didn’t really think I was afraid of heights before.” To which he replied, “Nah, you’re just afraid of things you can actually fall off of.” :)

Here are some of my favorites of the morning.
