10 Years Ago

In January 1999, I had the Digital Picture of the Day at Steve's Digicam's.  I think I shot it with a Nikon CoolPix 950, which was a whopping 2.1 megapixel camera.

Time does fly when you're having fun.

Little Visitors

Somewhere, deep within the confines of my archives, is a picture of our dear friend Faith when she was about two years old.  From the time she was born she's always been one of the most vibrant, happy people we've ever known, and her family members have been very close friends seemingly forever.

Time passes, and now Faith has a beautiful two year old daughter, Sloan, and an equally energetic four month old son whose name is Finn.

They came for lunch the other day.

 

 

Me On the Web

The Tourism Council of Frederick County Inc.'s home page currently features several of my photographs.

West Third & Market St.

I went to Frederick's "In the Street' Festival for about an hour today.  Charles "Big Daddy Stallings" and his band were making a lot of people very happy.

 

Helicopter Boyz

One of Nikon's new point and shoot cameras, the Coolpix S1000pj, has a built in projector.  This struck me as nothing but a gimmick until I saw The Helicopter Boyz.

What I Did on My Birthday...

Yesterday, I took a short ride, subjected one of my D300's to a few minutes of intense snowfall, and shot this.

My Wife is Walking!

My wife, Libby, is a breast cancer survivor. Her mother, a vibrant, loving and caring woman, who died at age 42, was not so fortunate.

Libby is walking in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer this coming May to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer awareness and treatment. She successfully completed the 2001 Washington DC walk in memory of her mom.

Any support that you would care to provide will be appreciated more than I can tell you.

If you are so inclined, please visit Lib's special web page and consider making a donation in support of this cause.

She, and the 1 out of 9 women over the globe who are diagnosed with this disease thank you!

Ice. Boo. Hiss.

...but only a few intermittent power outages (so far).

At the Scene of the Crime

This guy had no problem remaining at the scene of the crime yesterday. That bird feeder is supposed to be in a tree...

NOT Our New Pet

The infamous Eastview bear finally made it to our house the other day. I'd just gotten back from a shoot and glanced out the window only to see it chowing down on the contents of our Hummingbird feeder.

He or she would have probably hung around the rest of the day, but I had another shoot to attend, so I ultimately made noise inside the house until he headed into the woods. Prior to this, at one point he was as close as two feet to the back door.

The DNR officer I called suggested we remove our bird feeders and keep our trash cans in the garage to help ensure that our yard wouldn't be added to the bear's usual route through the neighborhood.

I like nature as much as the next guy, but I have no desire to see this, or any other bear, at my home again.

The not so great pictures were shot through a double pane window that could have stood to be cleaned, but alas, no time to do so.
