Happy #Halloween! Portraits aren't my main genre of #photography. But to stretch a bit, I did a free photobooth at a block party in my neighborhood (Remington, in #Baltimore). So much fun! And I love the thought of these folks, strangers mostly, getting joy from the photos I made for them.
Dramatic skies over #Baltimore today. #sunrise #photography #urban (helps if I attach the photo)
Last week, I took a few days off to chaperone a bunch of 6th graders on a 3-day field trip to NorthBay. A highlight for me was, one by one, getting the kids in my cabin to look up at night. The sky is a lot more interesting away from the bright lights of #Baltimore. #photography #sky #infrared
What's a dumb thing you secretly want? Me, I want a personal crest I can put on a signet ring and use to seal letters with the wax left over from cheese.
A view from #inside the recent American Chemical Society meeting, where volunteers glued nubs onto a #braille periodic table, part of a project to place one in every US state. #BlueSkyArtShow #science
After a few days in the woods with a bunch of 6th-graders, it was good to get #inside by myself and have a little #beer (literally) at my favorite taproom, Peabody Heights. #BlueSkyArtShow. Bonus, some of my photos are in the local art sale box in the background, so I shot a silly promo. #product
See, I decide to leave my big camera at home for one soccer practice, and then we get #skies like this. #sunset #photography
I don't always drink #astrophotography. But when I do, I prefer ... cheating with an #infrared camera so I get stars that are invisible to the human eye. #photography #nightsky #Maryland
Bird people: Is something afflicting small birds in Baltimore? Twice in a week, I've found live but catatonic #birds sitting on the sidewalk with grey and cloudy eyes. They were in roughly the same neighborhood (Charles Village) Some kind of #disease ? #Ornithology #pathogen
This feels tall, and like I could climb it in an Assassin's Creed game.
Nice, I like the rhythm of the trees
The wall outside Mohawk Austin was denuded ahead of #SXSW to ready it for a deluge of event flyers. #vertical #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #blackandwhite #music
And of course, the #glow of green plant life makes it a enduring subject for #infrared #photography. This shot from a sunken courtyard in a fancy #Annapolis neighborhood was taken with a 720nm filter and processed to be B&W. #BlueSkyArtShow #surrealism
I've been experimenting with #infrared flash. It's more flattering than sunlit IR on humans, which is unexpected. The #glow effect seems rounder somehow. #BlueSkyArtShow. I want to try it with a wider range of skin tones. #photography #candid #street #Baltimore
Painted Ladies in #Baltimore make for good practice with the shift lens. #architecture #photography #urban
What's ironic is that I found this paint stain while wandering through the alleys looking for rats to photograph like they were safari wildlife. #foundArt #rat #photography #paint #urban #Baltimore
Brady is not thrilled about the hat, but he is fond of the attention. #cats #catsInHats #photography #babushka #portrait #animals
