• The first 48 hours with my new Windows Phone

  A week and a half ago, I activated my Windows Phone with my AT&T cell number. I was playing around with the HTC Titan on WiFi for a little bit on Thursday night after the Windows Phone event, but I wasn’t able to really try out some of the features without cell service.  After transferring…

• Becca and Jason’s Baby Bump Shoot!

  As you can probably tell from my last post, I shot baby bump photos for a couple former coworkers of mine a little while ago. I just got done editing all the photos from the shoot and they turned out fantastic! Becca and Jason are still very much in love after years and years together…

• Becca and Jason’s Shoot Preview

  Last week, my former coworkers Becca and Jason contacted me about a shoot. Becca is pregnant and wanted to take some professional photos to document her first pregnancy. I got to shoot her and Jason in Federal Hill Park in the Inner Harbor on a lovely Sunday afternoon. Here is the preview of the shoot-…

• Windows Phone Launch Event in Baltimore

  This week I was fortunate enough to attend one of the Windows Phone launch events in Baltimore, MD. Held at the Pratt St. Alehouse (a place I have previously visited), this event was a gathering of the Windows Phone marketing crew showing off their new phones and the features of the newly released Mango operating…

• 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.…

• Random shots in Random times

  Last week I brought my photo equipment into work to grab a product shot for one of our internal communications. While I was editing that morning, I looked up from my desk, out the window and saw a beautiful day. I tried to capture the essence of the moment in Baltimore that morning. While I…

• How I found an untapped market by accident (and made some friends in the process)

  A couple of months ago, after a few conversations with my friend Zach Egolf, I was very close to a new concept that I hadn’t tried yet.  Over the last 6 months as my skills and questions  grew I would often ask Zach for advice or ideas. He had been behind a Canon DSLR longer than…

• 30 years and a giant metal “ManWomen”

  This past weekend Jules and I rounded up some friends and headed uptown to Artscape. This year of Artscape marked its 30th anniversary of the alternative art festival and this year did not disappoint. Held luckily a week before a serious heat wave on the east coast, Artscape usually suffers from high temperatures while you…

• How BGE tried to kill my dogs

  

  We’re BGE Peak Rewards customers. Which shouldn’t be a big deal- we knew from the beginning in exchange for savings money on our bill that BGE could cycle our compressor (not the circulating fan) for the duration of an “event”. We chose the 100% cycling because our basement in our row home is very cool and…

• Hanging in Annapolis

  Last weekend Jules and I headed down to Historic Annapolis for a change of scenery. Even know Annapolis is less than an hour away from our house in Baltimore, we rarely visit. We decided to spend an afternoon wandering around and taking pictures. Here is a sample of the day-for the rest check out my Flickr…

• Light the fuse!

  Even though Jules and I spent the weekend at Lake Anna, we still made sure to get back in time for the annual fireworks in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. After some deliberating (since the weather almost didn’t hold out), we decided to make the trek back up to our friend Richard’s rooftop deck to view them. This…

• Take Back Our Yard game with the Baltimore Buzz Brigade (and Jules)!

  Jules and I attended the “Take Back Our Yard” event May 18th with members of the Buzz Brigade. Take Back Our Yard, or TBOY as it said on our shirts, is a grassroots movement to increase attendance during “prime” games such as the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. Since the stadium prices are…

• Jules and I visit the Maryland Science Center

  Yesterday Jules and I decided to check out the Maryland Science Center in the Inner Harbor. The weather wasn’t very good which made it a perfect day to visit a museum. The last (and only) time I was in the Science Center was for the TOTEM media day back in March. Jules had never got…

• Visit Baltimore Mixer at the Pratt St Alehouse

  Yesterday I joined a couple of my fellow Buzz Brigadiers at the Pratt St. Alehouse for a Visit Baltimore mixer. Similar the one I attended in April, these mixers provide a networking opportunity with fellow Visit Baltimore members and staff. The B3 crew is also invited to these great events where we can experience a…

• 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…

  This past week, fellow Baltimore Buzz Brigade members met up at the McFadden Art Glass/Glass Grill for a meet and greet with fellow Visit Baltimore members. This event allowed the paying members of Visit Baltimore to meet the social media arm in person. The event was held at McFadden’s Art Glass (which is a glass…

• Cirque De Soleil’s TOTEM review

  I take my seat and the lights go down. The tent seems bigger on the inside that I expected. Suddenly music booms. A spotlight illuminates a man descending slowly on a wire in a silver glitter suit (a raindrop perhaps?) towards a massive turtle shell in the center of the tent. Suddenly, the turtle shell…

  Last week I was invited (as part of Baltimore’s Buzz Brigade) to sample some of the new fair that will be hitting Camden Yards this year. The new vendor Delaware North Cos. Services had an impressive spread of sample food choices in the Camden Club at Camden Yards. Various members of the press and local news…
