Gone

Summer. Childhood.
Carefree cartwheeling.

Falling in love. And fireworks.

Time to make way for autumn...

Sailing

"Sailing
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free"

Baltimore

During the September weekend of the inaugural Baltimore Grand Prix, I took a helicopter ride and had the chance to photograph my current city from a new perspective...

Working with this photo, I was just getting frustrated and ended up deciding to have a little fun...

Special Dinner

Thought I'd share the very first round of photographs taken with the new Nikon. I think it's interesting how you can basically follow my progression of figuring out just how to use it through each course of the meal. Also, who can pass up a food post!

edamame guacamole with plaintain chips and tortilla chips

crab dip (aged cheddar, old bay, crostini)

braised short rib, chimmichurri sauce, baked mac n cheese

wild sockeye salmon, tartar buerre blanc, baby spinach & roasted garlic

dessert: chef's selection of three greek-inspired pastries

Ah well, so much more to learn... but it was truly delicious, filling, perfect!

"Twinklebox"

I saw this two days ago and loved it so, so much that I just had to share it.

While I don't think I'll be dabbling in film anytime soon, I keep watching and re-watching the various cuts and the angles that are used. I'm awed by the intensely high quality and just how well done this is to capture the teensy inner-workings of a music box. Okay, enough talking about it because I'm clearly just not doing it justice. Here it is:

August 2011 - Sandia Peak, Albuquerque, NM

So glad it's only 5 minutes until Friday! I've been traveling a lot recently and I'm not quite ready to share most of my recent photos, but here's one for now... gotta keep you guessing about the view over the edge of the platform though!

By the way, this image from the hands-down, fantastic photographer of Daily Dose of Imagery totally wowed me today. Take a look and take a guess at the production techniques that make it work.
