Nothing Finer Than To Be In Carolina!

Everyone knows the saying, "there's no place like home".  And that is exactly how I feel about North Carolina.  I try and make it back to North Carolina every chance I get!  And when the holidays come around I definitely try and make it back.  This Thanksgiving was no different.  My wife and I (along with my camera) made it back to see family and friends.  Lots of laughs, lots of food.  Just a good time all together.  Ahh, just a side note...it's amazing how much weight you can gain over a couple of days!

Ok, I'm back.  The few days I was back I went to Fayetteville (my wife's hometown),  Raleigh (to see mom)and Rocky Mount (gotta see the family).  And while at home I wanted to take a few pictures.  One thing that I have recently realized is that things are a lot nicer when you take the time to appreciate them.  Looking for things to photograph makes me stop, evaluate, and appreciate the beauty in things that I've overlooked for years.

Downtown Fayetteville

 I lived in Fayetteville for a short time years ago but I never remember Fayetteville looking so cool!  Here's a few pics in and around Raleigh.

Chiffon, my sister-in-law, wanted some pictures of her and Dylan to send out in Christmas cards.  So here are a couple of pictures of her and my nephew. 

Dylan, aka "Dillie Willie"

The place that I did not get to go to was Chapel Hill.  Ahh, how I miss that place.  I want to do a photoshoot around the UNC campus over the Christmas holidays.  But I need a volunteer or volunteers.  Any takers??  Post a comment here or reply via Facebook.

Also, please go to http://www.vicledan.com/ and check out some of my new pics.  Look at the rest of Chiffon and Dylan's as well as "Tiff's Boys". These are two of the more recent sessions that I've conducted.  Let me know what you think.  I also will have a totally re-done site soon so stay tuned.  It's something I've been working on it for awhile and would love some feedback.  Thanks in advance.
