New Home Oxford, NC has been our home since 2006 when we relocated our commercial photography / advertising studio from Washington, D.C.. This page was originally intended for merely our friends and colleagues back in the North East as a portal to our new digs in North Carolina. After some months and after the Oxford City Government site linked to our images, however, I noticed this page's traffic far exceeded the original audience.
I concluded that I needed to dress things up a bit. And, in so far as this page was becoming something of a resource, a visual resource, I thought I might expand it's scope to as many areas affiliated with Oxford imagery as possible. An Oxford "Sightseeing" experience.
