So, the sun came out, dandelions bloomed, and suddenly we are rocketing toward summer 2010 like a runaway freight train. Wow. After a winter the Washington region won’t forget for a couple hundred years, it sure feels good.
My grandmother had a saying whenever an event was anxiously awaited. She’d say, “Don’t rush time. It will [...]

Here’s a few shots from a birthday party I photographed last night. I was hired to walk around and get shots of the party goers and of course the host. Events in nightclubs and lounges can be tough on your equipment but the pay is usually good. Enjo…
With a surface low forecast to form off the Tidewater area we will likely see some heavy rain in the I-95 corridor tonight. Additionally the rainy conditions will hang around longer than originally thought since this low will be slow to move off to th…
One thing you can count on this time of year: the models have a hard time adjusting to the dynamic conditions of spring. Thus I wasn’t really surprised – maybe a bit disappointed – to see that the forecasts for tomorrow’s potential convection had ch…
The local NWS forecast doesn’t mention thunderstorms for Monday, but both this model and others show a modest amount of instability in our area from a surface low pressure system that is forecast to transit southeastern Virginia that afternoon. Also, …
The other day I heard the news that rock-n-roll photographer Jim Marshall passed away in his sleep. I’m guessing a lot of people don’t recognize the name but you definitely know his images – Johnny Cash flipping the bird, Pete Townsend at Woodstock, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and on and on and on. He was [...]
On 3/25/10 we finally got our own studio in Baltimore, MD. Now we have a place that we can shoot anything, 24 hours a day, and even hold small events and meetings. Stay tuned for the great shots I’ll be taking there and posting here from time to time.
Latest NWS Sterling forecast for tomorrow (Friday): “Rain before 11am, then rain and snow between 11am and 1pm, then a slight chance of rain after 1pm. Temperature falling to around 42 by 1pm.” That’s a bit different than today’s 77 degrees! Th…
Now that we have a butcher across the street I like trying the new stuff they get. Pictured: a Wagyu beef hot dog with a glass of Beaujolais. These hot dogs are much better than the standard grocery store variety (bigger too). Now that it’s warm enough to grill out we recommend trying these. I topped mine with mustard, salad onions, and 5 spoke tumbleweed cheddar (available at kybecca, of course).
Normally I would pair beer with a hot dog, but I decided to try wine this time. I went with a Beaujolais because they are lighter bodied and very food friendly. If you ever have a tricky wine pairing Beaujolais is a fail safe. More common reds like Cabernet and Shiraz tend to be too big and rich.
Oh, and don’t forget the salad to get some vegetables. I sauteed spinach and tossed it with vinaigrette and tomatoes.
