    • Rocky Mount is about 100 miles inland from the Ablemar and Pamlico Sounds shown here in a NASA satellite image. We are about 100 miles (2 hour drive) South of Richmond, Virginia. We are just 50 miles East of Raleigh, North Carolina and just about half-way between Boston and Miami on I-95.

    These are some photographs I have taken since moving to Rocky Mount in the summer of 1999. There is a great deal more to the town and the people of Rocky Mount than I have choosen to show here - over time I will add more as my library of photographs evolves. In the near future, I plan to add photos of the Art Center, Wesleyan College, and the wonderfully new and modern library. I tried to show some aspects of life and the environment here that I personally found most interesting:

    farmland with haystacks, cotton fields and country roads,
    woods and kudzu and the lay of the land,
    rails and the train station at the heart of of this railroad town,
    the Tar River and the rocky rapids requiring portage where the town was born,
    Battlefield Park, the Confederate monument and the historic Stonewall Mansion,
    City Lake, the Waterworks, and the pine forest I view from my bedroom window
    and the range of weather from the floods of Hurricane Floyd in 1999
    to Hurricane Isabel in 2003 to an infrequent snow.

    I also depicted some of the cultural aspects of life in Rocky Mount including
    the Tar River Orchestra and Children's Chorus,
    community theater and some scenes from one of my teenager's experience at Rocky Mount Senior High.

    Finally, I included some of the sites and buildings in which I spend so much time practicing medicine in Rocky Mount: Nash Hospital and the lake at the Aldridge Rehabilitation Center,
    our old office building (Rocky Mount Medical Park) and the construction of our new office at 804 English Road, Nash

    TECHNICALS: I used my Pentax 48-200 mm SMC ZOOM LENS 35 mm automatic camera, mostly with 400 ASA film.
