DATE NIGHT ON JOHNNIE MERCERS FISHING PIER by Karen Healy
I am a freelance documentary photographer interested in long-form
projects. After moving to Wilmington in 2021, I immediately was
drawn to shooting on the pier. I connect with my subjects to learn
something about them before photographing them.

NEW FRIENDS by Michael Mosure
While shooting a portrait session at the One Tree Hill
bridge downtown, I gathered a few bystanders. After I
finished, I met this nice gentleman. We chatted about the
bridge, and he told me he’s seen people from all over the
world come to it!
