Big Bonfire on a Farm

Over Memorial Day weekend I took a trip with some friends up to the Pennsylvania border to hangout by a bonfire and camp for a night. Lots of fun. My fellow phojou, Matt Roth, was doing the heavy documenting on the trip, but I grabbed a few photos along the way, too. The farm was full of barley and old Volvos. Neat place. The last shot is a view of the tree across from the front door of my apartment when it was in full bloom back at the beginning of the spring. At this small size you miss out on some of the fun little things in the photo, but I think the image looks pretty nice as the background on the 27-inch monitor I've got at work. Oh, I forgot to mention that I started a new staff job at the Catholic Review a couple of months ago, which is keeping me busy and shooting. Just wanted to put a quick edit of something up onto the internet.

Baltimore Walkabout

The other day I went on walkabout in the Fells Point area of Baltimore. I snapped a few shots, too. I'm looking forward to revisiting a few spots.

End of 2011; New Endeavors in 2012

A new year in a new place. After more than two years in Vero Beach, Fla. serving as the Director of Photography and lead shooter for the Vero Beach 32963 newsweekly the time has come for me to branch out into new adventures. As tough as it is to leave behind my coworkers, friends and the sunshiny beaches of Florida, I've packed my bags and moved to Baltimore, Md. in search of new opportunities. Here's one more gallery of images from Vero 2011 that have yet to be featured on the blog this year. 2011 was a diverse year in Vero.  There was a wealth of strong portrait subjects and colorful arts festivals and fairs (image 8 is from the Spring Under the Oaks art fest - the woman is standing in front of a painting of people looking at art in a gallery) and also a couple of storms. The island was also faced with unexpected tragedy. Here's one last batch of images from 2011 in Vero Beach.
