Carolina In My Mind

Hey there - it’s been a while since I have made a dedicated post to a collection of photos accompanied with some context to set the scene. I recently traveled to the east coast of North Carolina for a friend’s wedding. The last time I had visited either Carolina was approximately 15 years ago when I did not have my ambitions set on visual arts so I did not fully know, or remember, what to expect. All of that to be said, I was stoked to get back to this area and connect with the landscapes and people. The photos included, here, were primarily taken at Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach — both of which were around a 20-30 minute drive from where I was staying in Wilmington. Having visited in early November, the beaches did not reflect a summertime vibe as the winds were heavy, surfers clung to their bodysuits, and civilians prepared for a changing of seasons. Don’t tell anyone but that is actually how I prefer it.
