Further foliage and on Museums

October 30, 2009

Further foliage fotos for felicitous fans. Sorry, I just felt like alliterating. I have a bunch more pictures of fall foliage in the Potapsco state park as well as some pictures from an outing to DC with the family.

Of Apples, Renfest, Pumpkins and Foliage

October 26, 2009

Fall is finally here in a big way. This means many things, Apple picking, Renaissance Festival, Pumpkin picking and fall foliage. Many pictures from all these activities.

The first was the Maryland Renfest.

Dressed to Kill

October 14, 2009

I finally finished scanning all of the pictures from the wedding over Labor day and got that DVD off to my wife’s cousin. For now here is a single picture from that weekend, though not from the wedding. He is getting so big!

Alive and well

October 9, 2009

Its been a long time since I’ve posted. Still alive and well, but I’ve spent the last 6 weeks scanning pictures from the Hindu ceremony of my wife’s cousin’s wedding. It turned out great and it was a lot of fun to do the photography for. A good learning experience as well. I’ll have some pictures up from it in the next week or two. Its back to doing photography for myself now and I’ll have new pictures, and tales, up soon. Until then I have a review of the Lowepro Mini AW bag and Zuiko 135mm f/3.5 lens up.
