The Power of Flower(s)
Let’s face it, I’m a sucker for flower photos. So naturally during the first weekend of Spring I was running around with my camera capturing the daffodils in bloom. Below is what came out of my PicTrip- to see more check out my Baltimore Flickr Set.

Jules’ sister comes to visit
For the past couple of days, we have had Jules’ sister Dayna visiting us in Baltimore. Dayna is on spring break so she decided to spend part of her break touring all Baltimore has to offer. While Dayna has been here a few times to briefly visit Jules before, she never has had the time…

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…

Freezing time at the Dog Park
This past weekend Jules, Marcy, Chopper and I headed over to the Locust Point Dog Park. I brought along my Canon T2i with my 50mm lens with a circular polarizer attached. This allowed me to open up the aperture as wide as it could go (if needed) to capture the narrow DOF I wanted in…

Catching the spark in Sparks, Maryland
Today Jules, Chopper, Marcy, and I visited my grandfather in Sparks, Maryland to take a hike in the wonderful spring weather. Jules and Chopper had never met my grandfather so I was anxious to introduce them. Unsurprisingly, everyone got along great and the hike was wonderful. As we were all walking around, I decided to…

Talking Canon with Grandpop
This past weekend (before I headed to Chicago for an Innovation Games® training) I visited my grandfather at his place in Sparks, Maryland. I rarely get to see him so it’s usually a treat when I do. Most of the time I bring Marcy along as he lives on several acres that she can run…

Geppi’s Entertainment Museum
Geppi’s Entertainment Museum This past weekend Jules and I went to Geppi’s Entertainment Museum. Geppi’s is located right next door to Camden Yards and the Baltimore Convention Center in downtown Baltimore. The museum holds pop culture artifacts such as comics, movies, toys, and advertisements from the last 200+ years. Since the museum is right next…

Great Falls Winter Pictrip
Last weekend James and I headed down to Great Falls, Virginia to take some pictures of the falls in the wintertime. Great Falls is a gorgeous area that lies on the Potomac River (which separates Maryland from Virginia). We visited the National Park on the Virginia side. I was able to use my telephoto zoom…

Optimus Prime
Over the weekend, my buddy, James, and I visited a local brewery. As any photographer would do, he brought along his lens collection. One particular lens that caught my eye was his 50mm Prime lens at an f1.8 aperture. This is significantly different from my standard 18-55mm kit lens. As prime lenses have a fixed focal length, you have…

Meditation Practice (at a Buddhist Temple)
One of my 2011 goals is to try more new things. It doesn’t matter what type of newness it is, just that is something new for me. With that in mind, I have started The Unique Project. Anything that is new/unique will be part of this project to expand my horizons and viewpoints. After speaking…

Project Art: In Search of TRON
Welcome to this week’s edition of Project Art! I recently saw the movie TRON: Legacy at the Harbor East theatre in, you guessed it, Harbor East Baltimore. While walking back to my house in Fed Hill, I was curious if I could find any real life “examples” of the world of TRON in our own.…

Project Art PicTrip to the National Aquarium
Welcome to a special edition of Project Art! On New Year’s Day, instead of watching a movie around the house I took a jaunt over to the National Aquarium in the Inner Harbor. I have been to the aquarium a couple of times before over the years but never with a decent camera to capture…

New Year Eve’s 2011 Fireworks
Welcome to a Special Edition of Project Art! This year I was able to spend New Year’s Eve in Baltimore. I usually travel for this holiday but this year staying around the area proved to be very beneficial. Using my buddy’s rooftop deck and my new photography setup from Christmas, I was able to capture…
