So, who in their right mind vacations in New Orleans in August? Apparently, not too many people, as it turns out. That probably explains why Betty and I scored such a great price from Expepia. It was the proverbial deal we couldn’t refuse.
After talking with a client from Zatarain’s about the charms of New Orleans [...]
Ah fresh picked, wild raspberries. One of the two unrivaled delights of summer. The other being home grown tomatoes, of course, (blog post on that to come).
I am always on the lookout for a substantial bramble of berry plants during the oh-so short growing season, generally beginning early July and typically gone by mid [...]
I recently had the pleasure of making a small contribution to a fantastic project created for The Nature Conservancy www.nature.org/ in conjunction with Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum and Pentagram Design.
The project involved having world renowned designers such as Maya Lin, Isaac Mizrahi, Yves Behar, Abbott Miller and others dispatched “to specific places around the [...]
This is another in the ongoing documentary project I call my father. For some reason and without fully realizing it, I have been creating body of work with my dad as the focus. Perhaps he is a metaphor, maybe I just think he’s photogenic,

As another aspect of the on-going documentation of my beloved Arbutus, I did some ‘slice of life’ photography recently on main street during the 36th annual Arbutus Arts and Craft Fair. While the fair could be said to be much more about crafts (and food) than art, it is a popular attraction and an annual [...]
We recentlycompleted a week long project for one of my favorite clients and some of the nicest people around www.blisslivinghome.com.
What is especially nice about shooting this catalog, besides the pleasure of working with Amber and Charlotte, is that we take every shot utilizing the beautiful natural light which pours in through the west facing, floor [...]
As the economy has temporarily slowed the pace of our studio jobs, I’ve taken the opportunity to begin a project that I have thought about for a couple of years, but finally have time to pursue. Being located, as I am, in the heart of what could charitably called a embattled commercial district, in the [...]
My beautiful wife has been and continues to be a source of inspiration to me.
Recently, and for no other reason than I had a vision of her as a classic odalisque, I decided to create a scene in which Betty played the role of harem slave girl, with a twist. In my image, she represents [...]
The assignment; create a scene in which a car, a tent and assorted camping accessories could be presented for an article in Open Air magazine http://www.openairtoday.com about green camping options. Ideally a ‘verdant forest setting which suggested camping in the great Northwest” could be achieved.
In Baltimore…. In January…… In the middle of an ice [...]
On Saturday afternoon I set out to photograph the fall foliage at Whipps
Family Cemetery in Ellicott City. This restored cemetery was established in
1833 by members of the Samuel Whipps family from which I am descended.
My father, Robert, came along for the ride and the opportunity to explore
some of our history in the fading autumn light.
