Small Beginnings
So the day of my biggest road trip to date (Sea to Sea 2012) has finally arrived! I’m writing this post from Jellybean as we are cruising down I-70 headed to our destination of Cleveland, Ohio. Attached to the roof of Jellybean is a GoPro HERO2 that I’ve rented from BorrowLenses. It’s set up to…

Onto Normandy!
(to see the beginning of this story, click here) So after we spent the afternoon on a whirlwind tour of Paris, we finally made it back to the hotel around 1 AM local time. I was drained – up until this point, I had slept very little and all I wanted to do was lay…

You want me to shoot what?
Recently, my best friend Ryan asked if we could go on a shoot in Philadelphia, PA. He was commissioning me to get a picture of Boathouse Row for him (that would go on a canvas) and he also wanted to go on the shoot with me. I (of course) agreed and we wandered around downtown…

How I remembered September 11th, 2001
I still remember where I was on September 11th, 2001 when I found out about the attacks. I had just gone to my Latin class (which ironically enough my teacher is one of my only teacher Facebook friends) and she had the TV on. We saw the second tower get hit and that’s when I requested…

Freeze Framed
One of the most relaxing places I know is my parent’s lakehouse on Lake Anna in Mineral, Virginia. The property was owned by my family for the better half of a decade before a custom designed house was built on part of the grounds. By accident or fate, it is truly a dog’s paradise- which…

Sherwood Gardens was created in 1920 by John Sherwood, who was a conservationist and flower fan. Located within the Baltimore City Limits, Sherwood Gardens was a quick drive from our house in Federal Hill and…

Last weekend, the annual Cherry Blossom Festival kicked off in Washington, DC. I was down at the Tidal Basin to shoot my friend Liz and snapped some shots before and after our shoot. This was the first time I’ve been back to DC with my new Canon DSLR and I brought my (small) collection of…

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…

D.C. Holiday PicTrip
Today I took a jaunt down to Washington DC to meet up with my good buddy and old friend/scout James to take some photos. I recently got a nice new DSLR for Christmas and I was anxious to test it out. We (Jules, James, and I) decided to head over to the U.S. Botanical Garden and…
