I went on a Caribbean cruise to Mexico, Jamaica, and Haiti. It was a much-needed relaxation from the busyness of work. The weather was perfect most days and the cruise ship, Oasis of the Seas, was fantastic.

We took a behind the scenes tour of the cruise ship, which was really cool. We visited the bridge, engine control room, backstage theater, and the crew living areas.

A few weeks ago between business trips, I visited Alaska for a weekend. It was my first time in Alaska and it was amazing to experience such a beautiful place. We didn’t get to do everything we wanted since we were only there for a weekend, but now I know what to do when I return!

I recently visited New York City for a few days. Here are some of the images I made. The Canon EOS M is proving to be a great travel camera. The quality is great and it’s small enough to fit into my briefcase for everyday use. My only gripe is the autofocus is so slow and causes me to miss a lot of shots. Here’s to hoping the next iteration will be better!

One of my favorite fall photography subjects are the eagles at Conowingo Dam in northern Maryland. On a good day in the fall, you can see dozens of eagles fishing and fighting in mid-air. Below are some of my shots from yesterday. I hope to go back a few more times this year before they leave for the winter.

You can find these and more from yesterday for sale in my gallery here. You can also click on each photo to view it larger or directly purchase it.

Following in my steps with my 135i European Delivery (video), my friends and I returned to Europe this summer to pick up a 335is. My friend, Chris, decided it was time to upgrade his A6 and come over to the BMW world. We convinced him to go with a 335is and do a guy’s road trip through Europe. The three of us met in the Owner’s Lounge of the BMW Welt, where we would pick up the car and explore Europe. Our plan was to hang out in Munich, visit some friends in Hamburg, check out Porsche in Stuttgart, visit some friends in Freiburg, and head down to southern France for a few days, all while exploring some of Europe’s finest roads. Keep reading to to see what we ended up doing.

In my efforts to update my photography portfolio, I discovered a few panoramic images which I shot years ago but never processed. Some of them weren’t processed due to lack of time or I didn’t have the technical capability to process them back then. Here they are. You can click on them and use the image viewer to explore each in high detail.

I am pleased to announce the launch of my new photography portfolio on photomaxwell.com.

After several years of a custom Flash-based portfolio I wrote, I decided it was time for an update. Out with old technologies, in with a new HTML5 site. The site is based on an HTML5 image viewer, which means it’s mobile-capable, which always bothered me about my old site. It also integrates with Lightroom, so updating it with new images is completely painless. Take it for a spin!
