This month we capture this
love of the outdoors with a
feature on the extreme sport
of kiteboarding, beautifully
illustrated by Allison Potter’s stunning
photography shot while Tropical Storm
Andrea passed overhead during June.
In our salute to this great country and
those who serve, we bring you the story
of a national effort by acclaimed local
photographer Brownie Harris, Hearts
Apart. In these exceptional photographs,
Harris and his team capture moments
and memories to bring comfort to
servicemen and women when deployed,
as well as those family members they
leave behind here at home.
And then a story we have wanted
to do for some time. Behind the
Scenes: Hollywood East is comprised
of individual close ups of the men and
women who are the backbone of the
Wilmington film industry. From line
production, documentary production
and reality television production to
costume design, we meet the people
whose names are often buried in the
credits at the end of the movie.
It wouldn’t feel like summer without
boating. With the water to buoy us and
the winds and currents to propel us, we
bring you two locally built boats beauti-fully
photographed: the Pea-Quod, a
New England seacoast sailing dory built
by architect Bryan Humphrey and the
Masonboro Skiff built by John Olsen.
It wouldn’t taste like summer without
adding a fine dice of fresh herbs to dinner,
lunch or breakfast. (Yes, breakfast! See
page 84 for Tyson Amick’s Green Eggs
and Ham!) We offer you tips for growing
your own from seeds or seedlings, and
put you in touch with local growers who
can supply you with their cache of locally
grown and harvested herbs.

And, it wouldn’t sound like
summer without the opportunity to
hear Chris Bellamy, guitar in hand,
performing his original songs and
ballads, somewhere on the Cape Fear
coast. Flavored with original tunes and
lyrics, Bellamy is a quintessential
laid-back Southern story teller. This
“quintessential bubba” has just released
his ninth album, appropriately entitled,
“Bubbafied.”
