An open (love) letter to Jules
Once Jules sees this, she will probably panic. So let me get this all in before I get in (possible) trouble.

You are going to put *that* in my latte?!
Before Christmas this year I won (via Twitter) a gift card to a place called Pound Coffee. Pound Coffee is a local shop close to the Eastern Market Metro stop that offers some good food and fantastic coffee drinks. Since the holidays were a bit crazy for Jules and I, we waited until after the…

Something Shocking I’m Doing This Year…
While I’m all for constant improvement and resolutions (any time of year), I’ve never really wanted to admit them publicly. It’s not a privacy thing, it’s really that no one gives a shit (truly) on what I want to improve on. I on the other hand do like hearing what others’ goals are because it…

Forced Nudity
A couple of weeks ago I had to send my trusty Canon T2i DSLR in for servicing. I was beginning to have a lot of issues with my autofocus, especially with my 60mm Macro lens (which also went back). So, while my camera gets service and back to me in time for the holiday (I…

Becca and Jason’s Shoot Preview
Last week, my former coworkers Becca and Jason contacted me about a shoot. Becca is pregnant and wanted to take some professional photos to document her first pregnancy. I got to shoot her and Jason in Federal Hill Park in the Inner Harbor on a lovely Sunday afternoon. Here is the preview of the shoot-…

Tone Deaf Photography (HDR Part II)
As I wandered through France, one of my goals for advancing my photography skills was to take a ton of HDR photos. I managed to end up taking quite a bit, and as I slowly go through the hundreds of photos from the trip, a few began to stand out. I tried to go for…

Wow, this place is a zoo! (26.2)
Well, that isn’t entirely true. We only ran through an *actual* zoo for a mile or so during the 2011 Baltimore Marathon in which we were told to “watch out for the animals” (true story). Luckily for us marathoners, the zoo animals were kept under the watchful eyes of zookeepers while we all ran past.…

You want me to shoot what?
Recently, my best friend Ryan asked if we could go on a shoot in Philadelphia, PA. He was commissioning me to get a picture of Boathouse Row for him (that would go on a canvas) and he also wanted to go on the shoot with me. I (of course) agreed and we wandered around downtown…

Flash…Gordon?
I was recently hired by one of Jules’ friends Chelsea for an engagement shoot. Since they wanted an outdoor shoot, I finally had an excuse to buy a flash (as I need one in general- especially for this shoot). Here is a couple of sample shots that I took this weekend at a wedding in…

Playing around with HDR, part I
I’ll admit it- I haven’t posted in over a week (two weeks to be exact). While this is for a myriad of reasons which some I can disclose and some I cannot, rest assured I haven’t been sitting still. One great example of this was 2 weekends ago when my buddy Ryan hired me to…

I’m Published!
It’s true- really! My photo that I took of the Juste_B founders Ambra and Maryann made it into the recent edition of Urbanite, a local Baltimore magazine. I’m really honored that they chose my photo and I encourage you to check out their shop in Locust Point. Below is a PDF of the article (thanks…
