What I've Been Up To

Sorry for the lack of posts lately; things will be slower over the summer. I’ve been back from school for about a month now, though I’ve gone back and forth a few times since. I’ve been traveling a bit and working a lot. Trying to fly-fish as much as possible. Just came back from Ocean City, MD with a couple of friends from school. I made this photo of my friend, Erin, in our condo as we were heading out the door. I really liked the white background and the big light coming in from the sliding glass doors.

This kid was having a blast on the boardwalk with his toy gun. His younger brother had a toy sword, which they were fighting with.

We stopped to walk around and have dinner at the Inner Harbor on the way back.

Traffic has been pretty bad on the way to work, lately. Yesterday (left), it took me over twice as long as normal to get into work and today (right) wasn’t much better and I left 30 minutes earlier. In case you’re wondering, I have to travel south on 695 and the blue dot indicates my location in each of these screenshots from my cellphone.

I have some cool photos coming soon. Last Friday, I went up on top of a building overlooking the Baltimore Inner Harbor with my dad (he owns a window cleaning business) at 5:30am to take some high-up photos of the city in the great early-morning light. It was pretty fun overall, but we just missed sunrise and I left my tripod at the door at home.

I did a similar shoot last year which produced this image. The buildings that I’m shooting from this year are on the other side of the harbor so should get a better view of all of downtown Baltimore. Click on the image to see the full 36 megapixel panorama.

I’m going to another building this Friday which supposedly has an even better view, and we’re going earlier to catch the sunrise. Be on the lookout for some stunning photos.
