Heading out from Catoctin Mountain National Park we hiked up to Cunningham Falls. It was mid day when we got there, so while the kids where having lunch I slipped off into the shadows to capture this shot from one of the upper pools.
Camera on tripod, Cokin filters (2) bracketed 3 shots for this HDR of the falls.
A week later creating Part two to the "Free Fall" for the 10th FDT. The moment of impact came suddenly.
Happy Face Down Tuesday to all.
Embracing my inner Pirate
Had a chance to try Heavy Seas beer brewed by Baltimore’s Clipper City Brewing Co.
I set sail for this shoot wanting to give a feel of a small captains cabin off at sea.
Yo Ho, a Pirate's Life for Me.
Nighttime, Fire, cold beer and good company. Smoke rises as we sit around a small fire in the back yard looking at the glowing embers. it is amazing to me how captivating and relaxing a fire can be, and how central it is to who we are.
Lighting lights, The 3rd night of the festival of light. "During all eight days of Hanukkah these lights are sacred, and we are not permitted to make ordinary use of them except for to look at them in order to express thanks and praise to Your great Name for Your miracles, Your wonders and Your salvations."
My great grandfather, gave this watch to my grandfather, who gave it to me. our time here is but a fleeting moment. “Don’t count every hour in the day, make every hour in the day count.”
Enhanced interrogation techniques photo shoot.
Minimal direct light (hanging lamp) and hands on technique.
I challenged myself to a duel of chess, I was both the winner and the defeated. It all comes down to your point of view and depth of field. The fall of the king brought on the shadow of night, and the end of the shoot.

View On White Spring is here, and I am back on the Tennis court. It was a perfect day for a mid day friendly match.
Flowers are starting to bloom and the light is back.
Standing on a hill top watching a storm roll in. The swift change of the air, and suddenly the air is sucked towards the brewing storm, then the iPhone beeps, Tornado Warning!
Perfect for HDR playtime. 3 shots hand held tonemapped.

Week 12 of a new life, and an interesting and exciting year to come. On the wings of change and renewal, tomorrow I head back to school as a student once again. I will be doing a full time Photography Program at Boston University Center for Digital Imaging Arts (CDIA) in DC. I will keep you all posted on progress in both avenues. Cheers.

Namesake (sometimes "name's sake") is a term used to characterize a person, place, thing, quality, action, state, or idea that is called after, or named out of regard to, another.
Espresso for me is all of the above.

Got my first Moleskine sketchbook today, and headed out to Seneca park to enjoy the last rays of sun. The light was fantastic, and got a nice sunset, but this was the moment of my day, sketching my camera with cold hands, and having a blast.
Inspired in part by Katrin Ray's Magic Brush, if you haven't seen her stream you should.
Late night scotch, explaining why I need strobes. I must admit this project 365 has me talking to myself, at times... if i would only listen.
