THE RED CURTAIN
No, this is entry has nothing to do with the USSR or the Cold War, but we do like red. Libby and I have some bold red curtains that span an entire wall in our living room, so we decided to have a bit of fun with some gear that was laying about being inventoried. [...]
IPHONE ADVENTURE
Every year Libby and I send out a self-designed holiday card using our own skills as graphic artists and photographers. When it came time to produce this year’s card we had some initial trouble coming up with a fresh idea. After a bit of thinking I came up with the idea of using images taken [...]
STOP:LOVE
Ahhh Valentine’s Day. I usually don’t look forward to this day even though I should since I am in a wonderful relationship and not sad and alone, however it just means I have to find something to get my lovely lady, usually at the last minute. In the end, they usually turn out OK, but [...]
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 [...]
ALL ON BLACK
I spent the last couple of days exploring Atlantic City and the Jersey shore. When the lady visits we usually make it a point to spend my days off exploring a new city or area of the East Coast. There are so many interesting areas within a few hours of Baltimore. It takes a significant [...]
MR. SPOTH GOES TO WASHINGTON
How can I pass up a blog title like that?! Anyways. I ventured down to DC for my first (in a series, I’m sure) of exploratory trips to our nation’s capital, which is only about 40 minutes away from here. Since I have off Tuesdays and Wednesdays I slept in a bit on Tuesday and [...]
FEATURED
Daniel Fox, founder of Skreened.com contacted me last week and asked me if Libby and I were interested in being Skreened’s featured designers, and after he mentioned I was his favorite, I said, “yes!” The process involved waiting for Libby to return from a business trip and my other shirt to arrive and then setting up this shot. [...]
SANDUSKY, OHIO
I’ve been here in Akron, Ohio for almost a week now. I have a bunch of family out here . An obligatory 2 hour trek out to Sandusky was made last Friday and it was amazing as always. Sandusky is known for two things: Being the location of Tommy Boy and a little peninsula that juts into Lake [...]
MIGHTY KITES
Today a few friends and I broke out the kites and decided to head to a park near here, Challenger Park and fly. We’ve also decided to name our kite flying team, The Mighty Kites ala Scrubs. It’s a fun event. Tomorrow we are taking Mighty Kites or MK to the island in search of better winds [...]
BANZAI!
As per my previous scribblings, my lady has started a new endeavor as a creative baker extraordinaire, focusing specifically on cupcakes. After years of cupcake pins, patches, clothes, stationary, etc I figure it’s only a natural progression. Regardless, the other day she made a batch of sushi cupcakes. I love sushi, and not because the [...]
LUXCUPS
Yesterday I went back to my design roots. Before I was serious about pursuing a career with a camera I already had a bit of experience in the graphic arts/web design industry. Nothing too fancy, but for a while I did freelance work designing websites and logos. I really need to break down and get [...]
