Laura and Mike come to visit!
Back in December Jules and I took a weekend trip up to New York City to see some friends and take pictures of the holiday themed sites in the city. We met up with Laura (Jules’ cousin) and Mike (Laura’s husband) at their apartment in Jersey City for a place to stay while we were…

Cherry Blossom Festival 2011
Last weekend, the annual Cherry Blossom Festival kicked off in Washington, DC. I was down at the Tidal Basin to shoot my friend Liz and snapped some shots before and after our shoot. This was the first time I’ve been back to DC with my new Canon DSLR and I brought my (small) collection of…

Good Stuff Eatery was founded by “Top Chef” contestant Chef Spike in 2009 and offers authentic American fare of burgers and fries in the Washington DC area. The Eatery…

Let’s face it, I’m a sucker for flower photos. So naturally during the first weekend of Spring I was running around with my camera capturing the daffodils in bloom. Below is what came out of my PicTrip- to see more check out my Baltimore Flickr Set.

Jules’ sister comes to visit
For the past couple of days, we have had Jules’ sister Dayna visiting us in Baltimore. Dayna is on spring break so she decided to spend part of her break touring all Baltimore has to offer. While Dayna has been here a few times to briefly visit Jules before, she never has had the time…

Hey there, Mr. Moon!
This weekend’s perigee full moon inspired me to whip out my tripod and camera in my Baltimore backyard and try to get a few good shots with my 75-300mm zoom (which is actually 120-480mm on my crop body). Taking moon shots has always been a challenge for me as you usually need to go completely…

Freezing time at the Dog Park
This past weekend Jules, Marcy, Chopper and I headed over to the Locust Point Dog Park. I brought along my Canon T2i with my 50mm lens with a circular polarizer attached. This allowed me to open up the aperture as wide as it could go (if needed) to capture the narrow DOF I wanted in…

Catching the spark in Sparks, Maryland
Today Jules, Chopper, Marcy, and I visited my grandfather in Sparks, Maryland to take a hike in the wonderful spring weather. Jules and Chopper had never met my grandfather so I was anxious to introduce them. Unsurprisingly, everyone got along great and the hike was wonderful. As we were all walking around, I decided to…

Talking Canon with Grandpop
This past weekend (before I headed to Chicago for an Innovation Games® training) I visited my grandfather at his place in Sparks, Maryland. I rarely get to see him so it’s usually a treat when I do. Most of the time I bring Marcy along as he lives on several acres that she can run…
