A photograph looking down a bending road. In the foreground the road curve right, then left, and in the distance turns right again, forming a pleasing S curve which leads the viewer through the photo. The walls of the mountains near us form a sort of natural border, highlighting the subject.

Big thanks to everyone who came out to Oak and Grist in Black Mountain last night!
We're so lucky to have a thriving local business economy here in WNC supported by our communities. I'll be proud to be the strong voice they deserve in Congress.

A photograph of a set of icicles clinging to the edge of a small cliff. Natural water springs in the mountains above feed water slowly to these areas, where they freeze, growing as more water drips down. The white icicles contrast sharply with the out of focus stone of the cliff face behind them, bringing the focus back to the icicles.

A photograph of an old tunnel in the mountains of Western NC, in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. The face of the tunnel is made of cut stones forming the arch of the tunnel. Inside, the tunnel is almost fully black. In the exact center of the tunnel you can see the bright tunnel exit, looking tiny in the distance. Framing the tunnel is the the wintery trees of the mountains.

Leadership in Washington has failed Western North Carolina. Many of our friends and neighbors are still struggling a year and a half later. We deserve a representative who will fight for us to get back on our feet and fully recover from Helene.

A photograph of a serene mountain landscape at dawn. Facing away from the sun, the early dawn light casts purple and orange light evenly across the horizon. A low fog lies like a white blanket over the valleys below, with mountains rising out of the mist. The view fades into the vast distance, miles away, fading into a hazy blue which echoes the blues in the sky above. Trees in the foreground frame the edges of the photo, drawing attention to the focal point of the valley and sky.

A photograph of a rainy street at night in a small mountain town. The street is utterly empty and lifeless. A pair of traffic lights dominate the center of the scene. Under them, the wet road reflects the green light of the traffic lights. Street lights line the edges of the road, cheerily lighting the street for no one, receding into the haze in the background.

A photograph of a landscape at sunset. The sun has just set behind a vast mountainrange, casting a strong glow into the sky. Low clouds catch the glowing light coming from behind the mountains and draw attention to the center of the frame. The center of the frame is dominated by the fiery orange of the sunset, fading into deep blue in the sky above. The ground and horizon is cast fully into shadow by the exposure, showing only the silhouette of the mountains in the distance. On either side of the frame, trees flank the view, framing the sunset, also shown only as dark silhouettes.
