  • Veterans Day 2013 : Thank you for your Service!

    Happy Veterans Day! (to learn more about where this photo was shot, see below)

  • Panorama-Mania

    I shot the photo above at the final regular 2013 season meeting between the Washington Nationals and the Atlanta Braves game in D.C. last night. It is a panorama shot with Canon PowerShot from the first row of Section 203 at Nationals Park. I have been taking a lot of panoramas lately and have been…

  • Wordless Wednesday My Office Window #2

    Shortly after I started working from home, I began to look at my office window in ways I never had: the way the light went thru the patterns on the curtain and how dynamic the colors in the background were. So, like any other self respecting photographer would do, I started taking pictures.

  • Weekly Photo Challenge: One Shot, Two Ways in Fredericksburg, Va.

    I had the pleasure of taking guide photos in Fredericksburg, Va., recently. When I am photographing a city, town, or neighborhood I do a lot of walking, miles of walking in fact, so I can see every conceivable view and angle of the area’s notable features. I may shoot wide and tight, low and high…

  • Reflection in St. Louis with an iPhone

    I shot this photo during a business trip to St. Louis a few years ago. As is my usual practice during such journeys, I rose early and took a walking tour of the surrounding area with my Nikon and iPhone in tow, for me, a great way to start the day.

  • Garrett County (MD) Farm Scene

    The Deep Creek Lake Area in Western Maryland is probably best known for its incredible lake and river offerings as well as it picturesque mountains that provide great skiing during the winter months.

  • Chincoteague Sunrise

    Chincoteague, Va., is one of my favorite places to take pictures. It has everything: lots of wildlife, a small town feel and a beautiful beach.

  • Early Morning on the National Mall

    Washington has some great vantage points. One of the best is probably the view from the top step of the Lincoln Memorial. I took this photo after photographing the cherry blossoms earlier this year. It was an early day for me. Left home about 5 AM so I would be at the Jefferson Memorial by…
