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 were shot with a Nikon D300s body and Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S lens except the first one which was shot with my Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF lens.

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 got home, I processed them all in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2which makes it super easy to convert everything to B&W since you can get one the way you want it (contrast, etc.) and copy those settings.

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] Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home I bought from someone on Fred Miranda, I noticed my coffee cup and decided to shoot it. This was shot with a Nikon D300s and Nikon 35mm 1.8 AF-S (one of my favorite lenses for all purpose shooting ...
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 is the Washington Monument, framed by the beautiful cherry blossoms. Shot with a Nikon D80 and Tokina 12-24 lens.

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! It was featured on RedBubble in the Rain Drops & Water Art and Split Tone Black and White groups in December. Taken with a Nikon D300s and Nikon 18-105mm VR. The second image is of some ice that had formed on the window during a very cold ...
