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…

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…

Every year to celebrate the holidays Baltimore City puts on a brief firework show in which they turn on the monument’s lights. This was the first year I attended…
