SMITH HARDY /
Ewen works by day as Director of Community Engagement for the Dorothea Dix Park Conservancy and spends her nights using her voice as a writer and an advocate. Interviewing Dr. Paulette Dillard was an intersection of her worlds, since Dr. Dillard serves on the Dix Park Conservancy board. Ewen’s favorite professor at the University of Virginia was Julian Bond, a founder of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, founded at Shaw University. “As a history buff, it was awe inspiring to walk the storied grounds of Shaw.”
P HOTO GR A PH ER Hardy is a professional photographer who most frequently shoots sports, real estate and interior design photography. He got his first camera in 2002 and went on to study media communications at UNC Wilmington. Smith’s work has appeared in National Geographic, Better Homes & Gardens, Traditional Home and Architectural Digest. Hardy shot this month’s eclectic Oakwood home. “I have shot a variety of homes over the course of a few years, but this was one of my favorites. The Gotwalts’ house was full of color and style! Every room was unique, which made for great composition. The kitchen was stunning and by far my favorite part of the house.”

JUSTIN KASE CONDER / P HOTO G R A P HE R Conder photographed this month’s photo essay on haunted places in Raleigh. “This project challenged me creatively. The most memorable shoot was the night I photographed the cemetery in Dorothea Dix. Taking photographs in complete darkness, with a red headlamp and flashlight to illuminate the headstones, I laid down overtop an ant mound and ended up with ants in my pants! It’s 11 o’clock at night and I’m doing my best to get the critters out, but also laughing hysterically at the thought of what anyone passing by might think if they see man in complete darkness, but for a headlamp and flashlight, doing a dance in a cemetery at 11 o’clock at night!”
J. MICHAEL WELTON / W R I TE R Welton writes about architecture, art and design for national and international publications and is the architecture critic for The News & Observer. “Seeing photographs of in situ studio’s work is always a pleasure, but nothing beats the experience of exploring one of their homes in person. That was the case a few weeks ago when I toured the Trull Residence in Cary, a home that’s sited extremely well on a very tight lot, with spaces and materials tailored to benefit the clients’ specific needs.”
