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…

On a whim after our museum visit this weekend, Jules and I visited the Baltimore Auto Show at the Baltimore Convention Center (BCC). The BCC was packed with new and concept cars from almost every vendor in the world. We got to see a ton of cars, trucks, and SUVs including the Camaro and Corvette…

Natty Boh Back On Draft
After a 15 year drought, Baltimore’s own Natural Bohemian came back to Baltimore in keg form. Natty Boh, as the beer is known locally, is a Baltimore icon and a huge well-known part of Baltimore’s heritage.

Locust Point Dog Park/ Optimus Prime Part III
Recently Jules and I took Marcy and Chopper to the Latrobe Park Dog Park in Locust Point, Baltimore, MD. Locust Point is right next to Federal Hill in Baltimore, so we can actually walk our dogs to the dog park. This time at the dog park I brought along my new 50mm f1.8 prime lens…

Early Snow Day Reminiscing
In light of getting let out early due to the second wave of a snowstorm headed our way, I thought back to the past snowstorms I have endured. I am a big fan of snow and try to take as many photos as possible as snow lends a certain sort of beauty to nature. It’s…

Sangria Making!
This weekend, with some help from my roommate Jules, I made homemade sangria. I’ve had sangria out while eating before but never attempted to make it myself. After finding a recipe I liked online, I proceeded to start cutting the fruit that would go into both jugs. Since we bought a gallon of table wine,…

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…
