Fireworks, Fountains & Gershwin at Longwood Gardens, Sept. 5th

I got this e-mail today from Longwood Gardens and thought I’d let y’all know about it.  It’s their last Fireworks & Fountains performance of 2010.

A month ago, Idrissa and I, together with the DC DayTrippers Meetup group, headed up to Longwood Gardens.  The Fireworks & Fountains were absolutely fabulous.  If you didn’t [...]

September 2010 Wallpaper: Light & Motion Abstract

A combination of photography techniques called "focus blur" and "zoom blur" are used to transform the lights of the ferris wheel into abstract designs at the Montgomery County Agricultural Fair in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

A few weeks ago, I taught a Light & Motion photography workshop at the Montgomery County Agricultural Fair.  I headed [...]

Save-the-Date Card Designs

Last night, Idrissa and I watched The Notebook.  My third or fourth time watching it, and I still cried!  Seriously…greatest love story of all time…  My Blockbuster-by-Mail subscription dropped us another video today.  I think…I hope… it’s Hung Season 1, Disc 2…  Too funny!  Even Idrissa likes it, and he doesn’t usually like this [...]

Baby Announcement Designs

I believe that portrait and wedding studios can add a lot of value beyond the photography and simple prints. This is why I offer beautiful custom-design products like press-printed storybook albums, accordion books, keepsake image boxes, and canvas prints in premium frames, and other quality products, in addition to matted luster and metallic photographic [...]

Light and Motion Abstracts

More Fountains, Lilies & Other Beauties at Longwood Gardens

A week ago, I posted photos of the amazing Longwood Gardens Fireworks & Fountains performance. There’s still one more show left (in September) for the year, so you might want to see if you can catch it.  You won’t be sorry!  When we drove up to Longwood Gardens, we arrived in the afternoon, [...]

How-To: The Blues Club on Bourbon Street

Last week, I posted a photo of Troy Turner, Ike & Tina Turner’s nephew, singing away the blues at the Blues Club on New Orleans’s famed Bourbon Street.  One of my students saw the post and asked me how I made the shot, so I thought I’d tell you here on my blog.  So [...]
