Searching for the Dark Knight in Chicago
The past couple of days I spent in Chicago attending an Innovation Games® training. When I wasn’t in training, I was running around downtown Chicago (the sites of both “Batman Begins” and “The Dark Knight” movies) taking pictures of everything I could. Since I was in training during the day, I could only take photos at…

Geppi’s is located right next door to Camden Yards and the Baltimore Convention Center in downtown Baltimore. The museum holds pop culture artifacts such as comics, movies, toys, and advertisements from the last 200+ years. Since the museum is right next…

Sushi Shots
I went to my favorite sushi joint (Kiku in Federal Hill) this weekend for dinner and decided to bring my camera along for the ride. I have been to Kiku many times but this was the first time I went with my new camera. It was exciting to test it out how the sensor handled…

Locust Point Dog Park/ Optimus Prime Part III

Optimus Prime
Over the weekend, my buddy, James, and I visited a local brewery. As any photographer would do, he brought along his lens collection. One particular lens that caught my eye was his 50mm Prime lens at an f1.8 aperture. This is significantly different from my standard 18-55mm kit lens. As prime lenses have a fixed focal length, you have…
