Working from home this afternoon, I decided to treat myself to some cookies (well I probably would have done that whether or not I was working or not but that’s beside the point).  Has been a while since I’ve had Pecan Sandies, but they sure were good.  What is your favorite cookie? (Mine is Oreo, but... 

The February Penn Camera photo contest subject is snow, so I found my two favorite snow pictures from this past year to submit.  The prizes are Penn Camera gift cards, which are quite useful!  There are lots of great entries, so we’ll see — wish me luck!  I should know early next week if I’ve won... 

Last year I went on a couple photowalks that took place in Washington DC at night.  Here are a few shots from those photowalks — hopefully there’s another one this year!  The first was in March, the second was taken in June, just before the skies unloaded on us! Nikon D80, Nikon 18-105VR Nikon D80, Nikon... 

The DC area is being hit by some more snow (we’ve already had about 20-24 inches) — some areas will get at least another foot. So being stuck at home, watching the news, and keeping an eye on things, I figured I’d take a shot of what’s keeping me warm (coffee and donut) as well as what’s... 

Meet Mr B, a 5-week old little boy who just loves to be photographed!  After feeding seems to be the best time as he falls right to sleep — but he did wake up when his outfit came off.  Luckily I got many of them in before he did wake up, but some of the ones with his eyes opened turned out great too, I think. All... 

Every now and then I get in the mood for some black and white photography. Since I’ve been busy with my new son (and busy napping!), I haven’t had as much photo time as I’d like. Yesterday I went to a nearby park in Vienna, VA and took some shots there, then went to the main drag for a bit.  When... 

I know several of my fellow photogs (well not just photographers I guess, but lots of people I know!) are big coffee drinkers.  After Christmas when my son was born, I made use of my Keurig B30 Mini Brewer as well as frequent trips to 7-11 for coffee.  While sitting in the hospital room, playing with the [awesome]... 

As the weather stays bitter and cold, and many of us long for warmer days, I thought I’d share a warm looking image from last April.  During a photowalk (the same one that I got my Washingtonian Magazine winner), I captured these cherry blossoms overlooking the Tidal Basin in Washington, DC.  In the background... 

The weather the last couple of days has been miserable!  Very cold, very windy — and did I mention miserable?  Pulled a few of my recent “cold weather” images to share.  One is from around Thanksgiving, when it was cold and rainy.  The rain was hanging off the ends of the branches just right!... 

We had a great Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and even today we have things going on! Hopefully everyone had a great day (and days!) as well It’s been fun to see what people are doing by watching their twitter and facebook feeds. I wanted to share some of the things I gave my sister for Christmas.  First is...
