my little town is no exception. i chose to photograph one of my favorites. i give you two self-portraits: one taken just before my camera hit the ground, and the second taken with a borrowed camera.
what? don't you recognize it??? why, it's...
that's right. cue the paula cole intro music, "i don't wanna wait for our lives to be ov-eh-er." i heart pacey. heck, i heart joey.
dawson's *creek* is actually everywhere here. a good portion of dawson's creek is the intracoastal waterway. my town sits on a little bump of the east coast where the cape fear river opens to the atlantic ocean. other movies filmed in southport are crimes of the heart, i know what you did last summer, and summer catch
(all you parents out there looking for a true "G" rated movie, i definitely recommend pirate kids. it is very cute in a low-budget way. and totally safe for everyone in the family.)
i hope you had fun getting out and about for this challenge. check back later today for the recap, and to find out why it sometimes makes sense to keep things simple. oh, and also to learn next week's challenge!!

I love it!!!
We both did scenes from shows. Crazy!!!!
Ok so I just read Anne's blog and I noticed that you had suggested movies or shows. I guess that I forgot that part so it is not so crazy that we both did scenes from shows.
Awesome! I live in a very film-friendly place too! I hope you like what I came up with!
missy
very cool. i didn't know north carolina did so much filming. how fun. sorry about your camera.
Ooh, I just read again and saw that you mentioned Dirty Dancing. That was also filmed in Utah, I wonder if any of our Utah friends will have used the Lehi Roller Mill...I guess I'll just have to wait and see!
wow, all kinds of tv/movies, eh?
who knew! i love it.
i am sad that i will miss the challenge this week. maybe i will post late...
Wow! You do have a lot of cool famous movies that were filmed in your neck of the woods.
How fun to have so many things filmed there in your place. I am be a day late with my portrait. I need my hubby to take the picture and it has been crazy here. He loves to tell people what was filmed here in out little town where he grew up.
Hope you camera is ok!
I love that you have such a great location. How fun to have so many movies filmed there! I love Dawson's creek. I watch re-runs of it daily.
I loved Dirty Dance and Sisterhood, what a neat area!
Thanks for doing these, I hope you do not mind I am playing along, it's fun! :)
These have been fun to read...mixes of geography, history & film. So sad, but I love your camera on the biltz photo. Hope you can fix it soon. You're the Tuesday Queen!
I love this and do I dare share why...I am a fan of Dawsons Creek. I only discovered it while sick and pregnant on TBS, but since then i have fallen in love with the characters and story line. I don't watch it anymore. I will admit I am jealous you were there. I hear it is beautiful in NC and have always wanted to visit.
Sorry about your camera.
What a beautiful place to live! Thanks for the movie idea - and hope your camera recovers...quickly!
victoria, i'm so glad you are playing along. please send me your blog address so i can link to you!
I love Dawson's creek! I've always wondered where it was filmed.
When we lived in Georgia if I had know that it was filmed in No. Carolina, I would have seeked out the town since I love visiting beautiful inspiring places. The south is a gorgeous place to live.
Thanks for the challenge,even though I just read it today, I know exactly where I am going to take my shot- hopefully, it will be done in time!
Thanks for helping make our lives more fun by having us look at in so many different lights. You are awesome lelly!
this was is so great!!!
So I only listed Cool Runnings on my post, but downtown Calgary is often used as a generic big city in Hollywood movies - no pesky major U.S. city landmarks to get in the way and 'label' the city. North Carolina is on my list of places I'd like to visit someday.
Is it sad to say I knew the dock? Not right off, it took a minute but I loved that show when it was on. Sad I know, I should have been too old for it but it sucked me in.
Love the photos! Cool Post!
Back from vacation! Great to get caught up on your blog! It sounds like their are exciting times in your home town! Sorry about your camera! I dropped mine right London right before the change of guard at buckingham palace - so don't feel so bad!
I love this. I have to admit Dawson's creek was a big part of my life a while back. I still listen to the soundtrack.
Can't wait to check back.
I love it! Your area of the counry is so beautiful. Unlike where Iive...HA-HA! Thanks for doing this. I'm so excited to see what's next. I can feel my creative juices flowing.
Did your camera recover?? Cute picture. That is so cool to learn that so many movies have been filmed there. Very cool! It looks pretty!
Great idea! I loved that show. This challenge was fun- I am excited to see what is up for next week.
My blog shy sister is jumping into our Tuesday challenges. reigningchaos-megan.blogspot.com. She's a cute one so lengthen your list (please!).
Sorry Lelly, I should of left it earlier.

Thanks again!
What a BEAUTIFUL area to live in. I enjoyed this self-portrait challenge the most of the three I have done so far. Looking forward to hearing what next week is.
Love it, Lelly!! It's famous and it looks so serene and relaxing!! :)
Thanks for letting me play along.
Love it. How fun that you've had so many movies/tv shows shot in your town. I only had one that I could think of but better than none.
Didn't they film Last of the Mohicans there too? It's gorgeous. Very cool.
How cool is that!?!?! I loved your picture. Dawson's Creek fan here!!
What a great idea...I love it!
Sorry about the camera...but it added some drama to the post! :)
Once again, such a fun SPT!
ok have you seen stacy's... oh my it is so great!!!
I didn't get to SPT this week but I enjoyed your post!
This is a great photo -- kind of sad with the broken/borrowed camera shot. I hope it's fixed soon.
My dad travels to North Carolina for work (furniture) several times a year, and he just raves about how beautiful it is and how nice everyone is.
Clearly I've gotten my dance movies mixed up. It looks like Jenn did use the Lehi Roller Mill for her SPT, but it was Footloose not Dirty Dancing. (Funny that when i was writing that out I mixed them up again.) I guess to me all of those dancing movies are the same!
