HOME, SWEET HOME
One thousand apologies for the lack of updates. It’s very rare that I go a whole month without blogging. I hate these entries because so much has happened that it’s hard to remember everything to add into just one blog, but since updating my blog is on my to-do list, I’ll try. I moved back [...]
CROSS COUNTRY
l’ll admit here that I know OF the sport of cross country, but really have not shot it until coming up here to PPC. I shot one quick race for the first time a few weeks ago that was a little hairy as I did not know how everything was set up. Its also pretty [...]
THE GREAT SLOT DEBATE
Its been a while since I’ve posted on this (primary) blog. My music reviews/photos have re-spawned into a new blog called http://whatdoyoumeanimnotonthelist.blogspot.com and given the frequency of live music I’ve witnessed in the past few weeks, that blog has seen more action. It’s mostly a me thing, but hey if I can serve a purpose [...]
LIVE MUSIC FUN
I’m totally on a blogging spree today. Tonight my boy Stef aka P.O.S. came to town with Saosin and Underoath and another hokey new metal band that all the kids like. Stef is a hip-hop artist and it’s always lovely to see him open for punk/metal acts. All of the 15-18 year old kids smashed [...]
PUMPKINS
Since the lady leaves tomorrow for Houston, we decided to pick up a few pumpkins at the Fells Point Safeway. I feel guilty buying them from Safeway given the fact that I’ve covered countless events at local farms that feature fresh pumpkin patches, but I like to think I just bought them from the retailer [...]
BOORNY
Yesterday’s 7am assignment was definitely one of my most interesting yet. I was sent out to Hydes, Maryland which is situated deep in the northern Maryland hills, making the drive exciting on its own. Boorny Vineyards, a local winery, was in the middle of a harvest and I was to make some images for a story. I [...]
POLAROIDS & PINS
It’s about lunch time here in Maryland and I have a bit of time before shooting my first girls field hockey game. I’ve shot a ton of different sports, but never this one so we’ll see how that goes. I purchased this vintage Polaroid Colorpack III that was brand new and still in the box [...]
BITTERSWEET
The past few days have been decent I suppose. I’ve done a number of high school sporting events lately and a ton of other stuff as well. Last night I was up for the better (and worst) part of the night monitoring the situation with Hurricane Ike and Houston from here in Baltimore. How amazing [...]
B&O AND THE YARDS
My off days this week were not especially entertaining. I was originally planning on catching a game at Camden Yards here in Baltimore (since I’m only living a few blocks away) on Tuesday, but the weather was bad so I ended up going yesterday. I headed out early enough to coincidentally catch co-worker Justin Condor [...]
OH DEERE!
Today was definitely a lot better than yesterday’s storm flop. My first assignment to cover a tractor and steam engine festival way out in Westminster went off without a hitch. It was a gorgeous day in Maryland and the festival was a bit overwhelming, but I think I made some nice images. This was another [...]
HANNA HOLD ON
I’m actually listening to The Get Up Kids song named “Hannah Hold On” right now. I thought it was fitting as I was very excited to have Hanna’s might serve as a gateway to some nice moments, images, and maybe more, but alas she was but a fake as I suspected. Last night in the [...]
DIRECTORIES IN DARLINGTON
Today was an early day with 2 assignments prior to our weekly staff photo meetings. The two assignments were rather vague and were definitely far far away, way beyond our coverage area towards the northeast corner of Maryland near PA and the top of the Chesapeake Bay. The area was absolutely beautiful. Its such a [...]
PPC FIRST WEEK
So yesterday was the magically Internet hook-up day for me at my new Baltimore City place. It was a long time coming as life is frustrating when you are in a new place, away from friends and family, without Internet. Ive been working at Patuxent Publishing Company for a week now and it has been a ride so [...]
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 [...]
