lord baltimore
Nilsa and I decided last week that we needed to get away, even for a night. So we booked a room at the Radisson Plaza Lord Baltimore for last Friday night. The hotel is within about three or four blocks of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, where we planned to spend sometime on Saturday before heading back […]

brown eyed girl
These are some photographs I captured last weekend shooting “The Three T’s” at Amada Amante. I had both MP’s with me and in one I used Delta 3200 and in this one I used Fuji Superia 1600 color print film. This was the first time I had ever shot color film rated at ISO 1600. […]

delta 3200
In the last couple of weeks I’ve shot two rolls of Ilford Delta 3200. Both times were for very low light situations. I found the film performed well, in that it let me keep shooting without a flash in the dimly lit Quarry House Tavern (see my earlier blog entry) and under falling light conditions […]

three t’s
Last Saturday (14 July 2007), I went to listen to Tony, Tooky, and Todd play at a restaurant in Gaithersburg called Amada Amante. It was a pleasant evening and they played on the outdoor patio. The temperature was in the low 80’s and the humidity was very tolerable. Pretty amazing since this is Maryland in […]

dr5 revisited
In April 2006, I took a roll of Ilford FP4+ and HP5+ and drove through Mt. Airy photographing whatever I could find. I did expressly so that I could send the film off to dr5-chrome. If you shoot film and haven’t used dr5, you are in for a treat. It was started by a professional […]

quarry house tavern
Nilsa and I met Tooky at the Quarry House Tavern in Silver Spring, Maryland to listen to West Coast Grand and The Tony Grasso Band. I enjoyed West Coast Grand, but I just wasn’t in the mood for too much country rock. Tony’s band was much more diverse. From at traditional rock, to a funky […]

a sunday in june
Two weeks ago, Nilsa and I met my parents, my sister and brother-in-law, and niece for lunch and to visit. It was an unusually clear, dry and cool weekend in June. This is something we don’t usually get in Maryland during the summer. Hot and humid is the norm.
We met at Akbar, an Indian restaurant […]
