It's amazing what can pop when you weed your garden.

A day on the water

Some highlights of  the day shot with my wife's Kodak.

my little buddy's back

 My baby's back from Canon repair, new: shutter, hot shoe, AF calibration, exposure adjustments, firmware, and battery compartment hardware, sensor cleaning.... I'm gonna post my first shots, I doubt it will much different, just more reliable. This shot was hand held at kind of low light at ISO 50, so there's a tad bit of blur, but the colors look good.

Cool exhibit of an Iconic, may I say "Pop Artist"? Not stuffy, and hard for many artists to understand how huge this stuff is globally... check it out

mallow roasting and Blue Moon

little explorer

My son and I explored "the jungle, where the creatures are", as he calls it. I was proud of how far he made it, and a shoulder ride was only necessary on the last hill....Love this stuff

new lens

First shot with my new lens, I'm liking it.

quick angles

Shooting at high ISO from the car is still fun to me, even if the shot is rough, there's a dynamic in the composition sometimes that is unpredictable.

Sweating out the sickness - Early morning hike

Hiked out my cold with help of my old pal Johnny, and a lot of cold water.

I'm a geek

Baltimore Aquarium

I spent an awesome day exploring this national treasure, it's like the Louvre of sea life, and actual marine biologists are right in the walls wearing scuba gear on the many levels of the huge complex.

A unique experience

I was in this wedding and shot it for fun merely as an observer. I limited myself to one lens (Canon EF 50mm f1.4), and no flash with the exception of a couple, and my mom was kind enough to shoot a few (the shots including me in the wedding party). Having said that, I still feel these shots capture the magic of the day, and the diversity of the many stages. They hired Daniel a wonderful and skilled professional photographer for the day, so I stayed out of his way and looked for candid moments.
