Happy Thanksgiving from Beaufort Photography Co.

Happy Thanksgiving from Beaufort Photography Co. There is perhaps no truer barometer of our emotional, mental, and spiritual health than a grateful attitude. I love what G.K. Chesterton wrote, “Here ends another day, during which I have had eyes, ears, hands, and the great world around me. Tomorrow begins another day. Why am I allowed…

Beaufort Photography Co. needs this Nash Metropolitan

For some time I’ve had in the back of my mind that Beaufort Photography Co. will one day have a company car; something distinct and unique, fun and photogenic. So from time to time I might post a car or truck or van or scooter that I think could (should?) become our “company car.” While…

A Crystal Coast Autumn

You imagined yourself in a certain career, with a certain spouse, with certain kids, living in a certain house, in a certain neighborhood, in a certain city, with certain friends, doing certain things. “Once upon a time” always…

It All Begins with a Blank Sheet of Paper

It all begins with a blank sheet of paper. Whether words on a page, photographs in an album, or bedtime stories from a book, they all begin with the figurative blank sheet of paper. I’ve read of writers who miraculously put pen to paper and have words flow like rain water gushing from a gutter…

Beaufort Photography Co. Begins

Louis L’Amour wrote, “There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning.” I assumed my move to the sleepy little beach town of Beaufort on North Carolina’s Crystal Coast would be temporary, a year or two at most.

I need a ’52 Ford Ranch Wagon…

Living just a block from the sea, I definitely need a beach wagon like this ’52 Ford Ranch Wagon I saw in Morehead recently. Picture it with a rack, a couple of boards on top, and a Beaufort Photography Co. graphic on the door 🙂
