Six Years a Stranger

The Town of Lewisville, NC will celebrate its 25th year of incorporation on August 13, 2016.

Life Goes On

Nearly six years have passed since I published photos at LewisvillePhotos.com. During that time, our beloved Lewisville has seen new people and new businesses become part of the community. We’ve seen improvements regarding our streets — notably the addition of the roundabout at Williams and Shallowford Roads. We’ve seen attractive new buildings arise, and we’ve continued to enjoy a wide range of events at Shallowford Square.

A Reason to Return

Why am I back now, after having dropped off the radar for six years? I didn’t go anywhere. It’s just that life took one of those unexpected turns. Still, I have missed exploring the town and have missed meeting so many of you and sharing my photos and thoughts on LewisvillePhotos.com.

When I first heard that the Town of Lewisville would be celebrating its 25th year of incorporation on August 13, 2016, something in me stirred. How could I let such a big day in our community go by without covering it photographically? Then I saw the full-color brochure detailing the day’s activities, and I just knew I needed to be there.

    I think you have to have a real point of view that's your own. You have to tell it your way. And, I think that it's a mistake to shoot for a specific magazine's point of view, because it's never going to be as good. You have to shoot for yourself and photograph [the way] you believe it. —Mary Ellen Mark
