As we near the autumn of 2012, our thoughts turn inward. We think of colder times ahead and we just want to curl up with a book and a nice cup of tea -- or look at memories from bygone years, like photos from the autumn of 2005, taken seven years ago. Most of them … Continue reading The Autumn of 2005
I only have a few good photos from the spring of 2006, but I like all of them. I hope you'll enjoy them as well!
Two thousand four was the year I started to get serious about photography. I was still shooting with whatever cameras I had available instead of seeking out the best equipment I could get, but I'd started to examine my composition, my framing, the shapes I tried to capture, and photography started to appeal more and … Continue reading The Spring of 2004
Video from a nice, quiet, late-autumn afternoon we spent in Grosvenor Park (North Bethesda, MD). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBlq1mCLlVo One of the last few great days of autumn before winter set in.

This is a video recorded in that forest, on the shore of a brook that makes its way through the community, in the summer … Continue reading Summer scenes from Grosvenor Park
I happened to have my video camera with me one June day as the sky darkened and it began to thunder loudly. Birds, scared by the noise, took flight. Soon, rain began to fall, in buckets.

It's raining softly now. About 20 minutes ago, the sky looked like this. Simply amazing. I live in North Bethesda, MD. If you live in the area, maybe you saw it too.
There's a neat tunnel that goes under 355 (one of the main roads in our area) and surfaces right at the Grosvenor-Strathmore metro station, under a beautiful canopy of curved glass, framed with steel ribs and anchored with pillars. If you've ever seen one of the old classic cars (early 1910s and 1920s) that had … Continue reading Grosvenor metro station
