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…

Chelsea’s and Jason’s Engagement Shoot
This past weekend, I had the pleasure of shooting my first engagement session. Chelsea and Jason, who I met through my fiancé Jules, recently got engaged and asked me to shoot some photos of them. I was stoked, and after 2 rescheduled shoots due to weather, we were finally ready to get down to business.…

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.…

BlackRapid RS Sport Review!
A couple of weeks ago I received an RS Sport strap from BlackRapid for our upcoming Fall Photowalk. I thought it was the responsible thing to do (wink wink) to test it myself beforehand in Europe before we had the photowalk.

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…
