Kim Smith --who lives in Charlotte and is an assistant professor in the department of journalism and mass communication at North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro -- took his camera along to capture the sights and sounds of Christians celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ in the beauty of the western North Carolina mountains.
