Monument Lighting at Mount Vernon
I just got back from the annual lighting of the Washington Monument in Mount Vernon, Baltimore. This is obviously not the Washington Monument in Washington D.C. 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…

This past weekend I took a Project Art PicTrip to the lifelong residence of James Madison. Montpelier, as the estate is named, was formed in 1723 by James Madison’s grandfather.

Project Art Sept 20th 2010
Welcome to this week’s edition of Project Art! This week I went with a Black & White theme. I really love how taking out color can really highlight parts of the photograph you didn’t realize. All of these photos were taken out west in New Mexico/Colorado. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Pixelmator Hands On!
Through a recent Amazon.com “Gold Box” deal I picked up the photo editing program Pixelmator. Pixelmator occupies the space (both in price and features) between iPhoto and Photoshop CS5.
