During my week off, I gave myself two assignments.

The first was to continue documenting fishing wharfs in Eastern North  
Carolina. They seem to be disappearing as catches decline and  
waterfront property prices forcing bluecollar areas to give way to  
condominiums. North Carolina requires setting property values based  
on "market" value, often forcing fishermen who inherited land on the  
water to sell as property taxes climb out of reach.
Those wharf pictures are here along with a couple of other things I  
saw while relaxing:

My other self-assignment was to shoot a free dental clinic sponsored  
by our church. St. Peter's Episcopal in Washington, NC hosted a group  
called Open Door Dentistry of Alamance. They bring in volunteer  
dentists and hygienists to provide dental care for people who might  
otherwise not receive it. Students and faculty from UNC's Dental  
School, as well as local and other interested people. Luckily, the  
clinic director said they needed pictures more than they did another  
volunteer assistant or janitor;^) I admire all the work that folks do  
on foreign missions, but we occasionally need to reflect on the need  
of those here at home. The clinic treated about 400 people in two  
days in its mobile dentist's office.

Hope you find something of value.
