Camera In Hand Oak Island

The Fourth of July fireworks display lights up the waterfront in Southport, North Carolina on Wednesday, July 4, 2012 as seen from the Caswell Beach community on Oak Island. Incorporated as the N.C. 4th of July Festival in 1972, Southport’s festival includes a parade, a civil war re-enactment, a sailing regatta, and a car show.(©2012 Kevin Seifert Photography)

I cannot say enough about my love for the North Carolina coast. With a wedding photoshoot in Emerald Isle’s Salter Path to end the month of June, I was treated to a drive down the coast to my second location in Oak Island.

On my arrival, I was treated to watching the ibis flocks before hitting the beaches to thousands of vacationers on the normally peaceful oceanfront landscape. I thought it was great for the island’s economy to have a great pre-4th of July weekend.

Then Independence Day came. The above photo was an example of the great scenes and connections between the coastal communities. As a member of the Oak Island-Southport Chamber of Commerce, I am proud of how these two communities and Bald Head Island share resources.

After the trip, I became connected more to the community and discovered the Save the Cape movement to prevent a giant shipping yard from being developed which would call for very deep dredging of the Cape Fear River. I am not yet sure of the impact both environmentally and economically, but I am impressed by the activists in Brunswick County that rally to ascertain information.

The title of this post is a reference to a book project I am working on finishing up before the summer lets out. The handy field guide will give insight into the special nooks that most vacationers miss. The book will be full of sample images to better one’s own skills behind the viewfinder.

Email me if you are interested in proof-reading or just want more information on the book.

 

 

 

ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Bull City Business Leaders

Joining him were Bill Lindenmuth of Higher Rock Education and Megan Jurgens of Megan’s Mobile Spa. Jurgens also dedicated her chilly splash in memory of her late friend Susan Secker Palmari who died in 2010 from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease,” a progressive neurodegenerative disease. The group decided to partake in the challenge at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park, aka DBAP, which was apropos of the disease’s connection to baseball.

With North Carolina officially, and sadly, out of the NCAA Tournament, the 2009 celebration will have to live on.

They are available as gifts for $20 each or you can purchase 10 for $150. This image makes a great permanent memory of a once-in-a-lifetime event in your life.
