• DrumSTRONG 2008: A Smashing Success -- Thank You Scott and Mason!

  Three years ago, a friend of my family's teenage son was diagnosed with cancer, and was given fairly bleak chances of making it through the ordeal. It was a crushing blow to the family. For the full story, read the ESPN piece on Mason (he's the last story). Mason would go on to conquer the cancer inside his body, and has been cancer free for a couple of years now. Against all odds. And it was during this time that he reached out to one of my idols, Lance Armstrong...the 2 had a bit of dialogue...

• Best. Wedding. Ever. Sorry Ladies, Matt Brandau Is Off The Market

  A very good friend of mine, Matt Brandau recently got married to a wonderful woman, and I had the pleasure of attending. Here are some photos from the festivities . It was without a doubt the most fun reception I've ever attended...Matt is a professional bassist (shameless plug, he now plays with The Old Ceremony ; an amazing band out of Chapel Hill...definitely check out some of their music @ the link above) with a degree in music from UNC. All of his previous bands were in attendance and got... Posted Jan 01 2008, 04:11 PM by Jayson Knight with | with no comments Filed under: General, Photos, Charlotte, Being Jayson

• Congratulations To Eric And Leigh

  This past Thursday, one of my best friends (a local artist, check out the cuffs he makes by hand) tied the knot to his beautiful bride Leigh in one of the most memorable weddings I've been to lately. He's one of the 'core' crew, and even though we've lost touch a little over the past couple of years, I love him like a brother and wish him and new wife the absolute best of luck in their life together. The reception was held at Blue, a local restaurant , and I've posted a couple...

• Photos/Videos Of The 2006 Queen's Cup Steeplechase

  Every year on the last Saturday in April, the annual Queen’s Cup Steeplechase ( what’s a Steeplechase ?) comes to a tiny town about 45 minutes south of Charlotte. I’ve never been to a race before, so Tonya and I decided to get some tailgating passes (which actually turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made as of late…that’s where the real party is at) and make a day of it. Gas grill? Check. Plenty of food and booze? Check. It turned out to be the most... Posted May 03 2006, 02:07 PM by Jayson Knight with | with 4 comment(s) Filed under: Photos, Charlotte

• Downtown Charlotte at Magic Hour

  In the photography realm, it’s known as “magic hour”…everyone else usually just calls it twilight . I managed to catch downtown Charlotte right in the middle of it this evening and posted a photo here . As a point of reference, the camera is facing South by Southeast, so the setting sun really couldn’t be in a more perfect place to get this type of lighting on the buildings from the angle of my balcony. Sidenote: You can see a pretty big change in the lower right hand... Posted Feb 04 2006, 06:19 PM by Jayson Knight with | with no comments Filed under: Photos, Charlotte
