Harford Fair
It’s that time of year again, the end of summer, with tinges of autumn in the air already. It’s fair season! Of the two county fairs that I look forward to each year, the Harford Fair comes first, and is my favorite. I came as a kid. I’ve come each year that I’ve lived nearby. [...]
Down on the Farm
I stopped at Hillside Farms this past weekend, on the way back from a family thing with Mandy. Aside from the usual collection of farm critters that the public is welcome to visit, we’d heard that there were some babies around – and who among us isn’t a sucker for baby animals? I often feel [...]
How I spent my first day on vacation
Other people go to the shore, or sleep late and spend the morning sitting on the porch with a good cup of coffee. Me, I’m a bit odd, I suppose – I spent mine in the middle of a swamp.
Simple Clicks – Sunrise
I’ve strayed away from landscape/nature photography during the past year, in favor of wildlife and people (not much people work lately, but that’s soon to change). But when the light is perfect, I look for worth-while landscape images. Shooting through the fog, into the sunrise is a bit cliche. So are spider webs with dew. [...]
Simple Clicks – End of June
It’s been very busy for the last week, as it usually is this time of year. Summer projects, gigs, the 4th of July, family get togethers…the calendar stays full. So here are a few simple clicks to help me catch up!
A skunking, and frustrated IR
Yesterday was, of course, Midsummer – otherwise known as the Summer Solstice. In celebration of the longest day of the year, I felt like I should try to make the most of all that daylight and make some images, something to mark another astronomical passing. Unfortunately, my planets weren’t aligned. I got pretty well skunked. [...]
Simple Clicks – Saturday, 30 May
Last night was my girlfriend’s graduation party, so we didn’t get home until pretty late. One of our friends stayed over with us afterwards, and they were both still sound asleep this morning when I snuck out around 6. That’s me – the nut who gets up earlier on weekends than I do on weekdays, [...]
Simple Shots – 20 May
Was up at Fords again on Thursday evening. It’s amazing how many people come out on a nice evening, and I don’t blame them one bit. Unfortunately, having another dozen anglers and dog walkers around starts to feel like a crowd to me, and I find that I have a hard time disengaging from the [...]
Coming Attractions: Summer 2010
Got some exciting stuff coming up in the next couple of months – here’s a quick look ahead: – Senior portraits: finishing Mandy’s and then I’ll have a second shoot later in the summer with a high school senior. I’m working to further finesse my outdoor portrait technique, so you can expect some tips and [...]
Simple Shot
I took a moment out from chasing the birds on Friday to turn my lens towards the pond, where the combination of rising mist, sunrise, and fishermen was too much to overlook. This is a simple shot that captures the morning and shows more clearly than I can explain why I love returning to Fords [...]
