This is the third in a three-part series on my Memorial Day 2008 camping trip to Assateague Island National Seashore. You can find Part 1 here and Part 2 here. Sorry for the delay, but here are the photos from our third day at Assateague. The wind was pretty crazy on Monday, so I didn’t [...]

This is the second in a three-part series on my Memorial Day 2008 camping trip to Assateague Island National Seashore. You can find Part 1 here. I didn’t really plan on waking up this early: checking my watch, it was only 5:40, an ungodly hour that I try to avoid at all costs. I had [...]

This is the first in a three-part series on my Memorial Day 2008 camping trip to Assateague Island National Seashore. You can find Part 2 here and Part 3 here. As I alluded in a previous post, I spent the weekend camping at Assateague Island National Seashore. My sister organized the trip, her fifth-annual Memorial [...]

I attended the Joint Service Open House at Andrews Air Force Base this past weekend, my first show in at least a decade and possibly 15 years. My family used to love air shows: my mom would take us to the Amigo Air Show in El Paso pretty often, while my pops would take us [...]

This is also to test out Twitter Tools, to check how it integrates. Slowly but surely I’m trimming the number of applications and Web sites I have to visit to keep everything updated.

So, it’s been a while since I did some photoblogging, and I thought I would go ahead and do a photodump of pictures taken in the past two weeks. You should click on the photos for larger versions and to read more about them, but here’s a basic rundown: the tulips in D.C. are amazing [...]

I uploaded my 600th photo to Flickr today:

You know those things you mean to do but never seem to get around to finishing? Or even undertaking? Well, for me, one of those things was adopting Creative Commons for my Web site and photography. A couple of weeks ago my employer sponsored a discussion led by Lawrence Lessig, who was unveiling his new [...]

As a relative newcomer to D.C., one of the things I’d not seen was the cherry trees blossoming along the Tidal Basin. I made it down to the area twice this week to take some photos and take in the scene, and was simply amazed at the sheer number of blossoms and the beauty of [...]

I’m participating in the April Photo Challenge, and here’s my first image. The theme for the challenge is “entropy” or “devolution.” Basically, we’re looking for old and/or busted stuff and then taking photos! Trevor Carpenter, the guy behind Photowalking.org and Photochallenge.org, has said “committing to shooting once a day, for a month, is not as [...]

Meredith took me to the Howard Peters Rawlings Conservatory and Botanic Gardens yesterday for their annual Spring Flower Show. One word: amazing. There were tulips and hyacinths and Easter lilies and daffodils galore, and the scent of the hundreds of blooms was almost as incredible as their beauty. We arrived on the last day of [...]

I did a little photowalking yesterday and got lucky a few times, especially in regard to the photo at left. It amazes me how often photography is a result of good luck. Great photography often flows from great planning and anticipation, but sometimes you can get wonderful results by grabbing the camera, saying, “I think [...]
