Soapbox

This is a continuation of a series documenting the building of the newest Apple server farm, just a stones throw away from the Winkbox North office.

Since Apple is moving faster then I can find the time to blog, I have combined my shoot from September 30th, October 13th and October 22nd in this blog. Things are changing fast and it looks like someone is trying to block my view by planting some bushes - so not cool.

This is a continuation of a series documenting the building of the newest Apple server farm, just a stones throw away from the Winkbox North office.

This undercover photo shoot wasn’t without its adrenaline rush. My car almost got stuck in the mud but once again my four wheel drive Subaru saved the day and I was able to escape without notice, unless of course someone followed the muddy tracks.

Not much happens in my little town, at least that was the case until Apple started building their new server farm just a few miles down the road from our house. In fact it’s so close we could smell the fire burning at the 120+ acre site this weekend as the workers clear-cut the area into the night.

I am giving myself a new project to photograph the area as the site takes shape, partly because I am curious about what the big boys are up to and partly because I’ve always been fascinated with the changing of landscape by human power. I know it doesn’t look like much now, but hopefully as the months go by it will be an interesting photo transition.

I’m not sure how successful I’ll be though. Within 30 seconds of taking this (not so great) photo, I was approached by the project safety director and politely questioned. My cute looks, dumb stares and southern-polish accent worked – this time. We’ll see how long I can pull it off.

Our friends, collaborators and clients, Sally Fanjoy & James Labrenz, will be displaying their work in two separate solo shows at Gallery Pantone 278, and at the Modern Fabrics store in Charlotte’s South End design district. Fanjoy-Labrenz art photography is simply amazing and well worth the trip to see it in person. They take ordinary everyday scenery and transform it into vibrant and colorful paintings made with light, in a world of copycats, their work is most original.

Please join Sally and James at:

Gallery Pantone 278
Charlotte Trolley Powerhouse Museum
1507 Camden Road
Charlotte, NC

and just around the corner at:

Modern Fabrics Store
128 E Park Ave
Charlotte, NC

Thursday, August 6 and Friday August 7

6pm to 9pm
