By a complete chance encounter, I happened upon two gentlemen with professional photography gear taking photos of someone moving mannequins and other items from an upstairs loft.

Located at 505 South Blount Street, Lump is half gallery and half studio. The Lump wing in Raleigh is run by three people – Bill Thelen, Jerstin Crosby, and Tory Wright. Lump West is in Eugene, Oregon and is run by Mike Salter, who used to be located in Raleigh. Team Lump has been around for thirteen years.
