  • A Beautiful Storm Over Downtown Raleigh

    Goodnight Raleigh recently posted a beautiful photograph of a storm forming over the Civic Center area of downtown Raleigh. Enjoy.

  • Finding the silver lining

    Working in the news biz can be a bit depressing some days. But photographer Shawn Rocco’s latest post is an inspirational reminder of the good news that can be found, such as a recent fundraiser for a girl who needs a liver transplant.

  • Local burlesque dancer reviews The Roast Grill

    A few weeks ago I remember seeing a photo or a blog post that included a photo of a photo shoot happening outside Raleigh’s Roast Grill (tell me if it was yours, I can’t remember). Today, I figured out what the photo shoot was for. It was for burlesque dancer Cherry Bomb NYC.

  • Other Countries in person, on the Web

    It’s no secret that Tift Merritt is multi-talented. Not only has she recently released a phenomenal new live album, The Mahler in downtown Raleigh is featuring her photography as its first exhibit. If you don’t have time to head to The Mahler in person, Tift is also showcasing her work online.

  • Tift Merritt brings music, photos home

    Leave it to Tift Merritt to make photos of people looking at Rodin exhibits into art. After all, she is a respected songwriter, singer, performer and photographer. Merritt returns home to Raleigh this week for a concert and new exhibit. Read this interview from David Menconi from the N&O.

  • Is it real or is it Photoshop?

    NC-mountain-raised blogger Argon One is forever posting interesting photos (and song lyrics, and a zillion other compelling tidbits) and this one may stump you. How did he suspend the apple top?

  • Spring photo haiku

    Were you hoping for a little more snow this morning or would you just as soon get going with spring? Triangle blogger Teri Saylor, also known as Miss Congeniality, gives us a little of both, and some poetry to boot.

  • Raleigh Fire Department, circa 1913

    How exciting it must have been to see Raleigh’s fire department in full swing back in the early 1900’s. The city population was only 26,000, and presumably the 24 men and four horses pictured on this post did the job and did it well. I wonder if they ever made a calendar?

  • Caption contest time: What did this bird say to the other?

    Triangle residents snapped a lot of photos during last week’s snow storm. But so far, it looks like Lisa is the only blogger to start a contest based on snow photos. She took an adorable photo of two birds in the snow and wants you to caption it for her. The winner gets a print [...]

  • One of the best Triangle rainbow photos you’ll see

    A lot of Triangle residents snapped photos of that gorgeous rainbow (and in some cases, dual rainbows) that appeared in the sky after those crazy storms earlier this month. But this photo from RaleighSkyline.com is one of the best I’ve come across.
