9 STATES IN 2 DAYS

So Ive been AWOL for a week or so now, but I am completely settled in here in Baltimore and am ready to work my butt off for the next few months for the wonderful Patuxent Publishing Company. Today was my first day and it went great. I found the days prior to today to be filled more with anxiety to get to work rather than being nervous about how i will fit in and perform. I have my experience over the last year and my previous work in Colorado to thank for that. Maryland and the East Coast is marvelous, the countryside is beautiful and the weather, albeit still hot, is fine as well. I cant wait to venture into some of the surrounding cities as well as the Chesapeake Bay area soon. There are a ton of things on the to-do before I leave list, including eating lots of crab cakes. The city is …interesting. It reminds me a lot of Rio in the way that the rich and poor are sometimes so close its scary. Just like Rio, in its comparison against Houston and other cities Ive lived in, the poor in Baltimore are that much poorer and the rich are richer. The row homes, one of which I’m living in, seem so foreign, but luckily the one I am staying in is absolutely fabulous. I’ll explain more about my experience later but for now, above are a grid of images all taken with my iphone. I took lots of photos from the 2 day trip up to Baltimore with my iphone and uploaded them to my smugmug gallery here: http://toddspoth.smugmug.com All of the images are geotagged which means you can see on a map exactly where they were taken!
