It was my great pleasure to photograph the first annual Triangle Dragon Boat Festival at Koka Booth Amphitheater in Cary.  This event was an exercise for the senses in exploring all facets of Asian culture. You may recognize some familiar faces. Amongst the attendees were NC Secretary of State, Ms. Elaine Marshall; NC Treasurer, Ms. Janet Cowell; NC State Representative, Mr. Duane Hall; Cary Mayor, Mr. Harold Weinbrecht amongst many other dignitaries. 

“This is another crown jewel in what makes North Carolina the best place on the face of the Earth to live, start a business and raise your family” 
~N.C. Secretary of State Elaine Marshall in the opening ceremony
