What happens when 2 Photographers meet at a Starbucks?

A couple of months ago, DC Photographer Patrick Onofre invited me to come on his podcast. After a couple of reschedules and a mistaken Starbucks, we finally got together to chat.

My Decade Long Hiatus from In and Out Burgers

The last time I was on the west coast (San Francisco no less) was over a decade ago. One thing that I did remember doing was visiting the legendary In and Out Burger at Fisherman’s Wharf.

Zach’s Inaugural Homebrew Beer opening and tasting!

It’s not often that one of your friends starts homebrewing beer. It’s even rarer when this special occasion surrounds his birthday celebration.

January Photowalk at the Enoch Pratt Central Library!

This past weekend Zach and I held our Winter Photowalk event and the first event of 2012.

There were a…
