growing boy
I was left with about 10 exposures on this roll of Kodak Ektar 100 and I needed to finish it up. So it was time to grab Tony and attempt to keep him still for a few minutes and record his growth. It was painful, but I got a few good photos out of [...]

b & o railroad museum
As you can see I am way behind in my blog posts. I am trying to catch up, but it will take some time.
This is my first roll of Kodak’s Ektar 100. I have to say that this is an impressive film. The sharpness is quite exceptional and the vivid color saturation [...]

trains
Sometime in November, I took Tony out to look at railroad crossings. By luck, we stumbled upon the daily Amtrak Capitol Limited which passes the Kensington station every day around 1620. In the last couple of days we were lucky and also had a CSX freight train pass by a few minutes before [...]

airplane!
I took Tony out last weekend to the “Thomas A. Dixon Observation Park” (39° 9′45.99″N 76°39′48.33″W), which is on Dorsey Road just a few yards south and west of runway 33L at BWI. Below is the first video, and best, I shot of him watching a landing.

hanging around
Tony continues to grow and progress each and every day. He has learned to hang and hold onto a bar. Here’s and iPhone shot when he was at Little Gym a week ago.

pedal faster
Almost every child in this country has that first taste of transportation independence. They may not look at it that way, but essentially that is what is happening. Nilsa took Tony to get a tricycle last week and he is in love with his “bike”. The helmet he wasn’t too fond [...]

fire engine park
On the first day of spring, 20 March, Tony and I went to a local park we’ve been calling “Fire Engine Park”. I can’t remember the official name, but to Tony it’s always been Fire Engine Park in reference to one piece of play equipment in the shape of a fire engine. The [...]

halloween
I am so behind on blogs and photos. I’m posting Halloween photos in February. At first I was too busy so I put it off. Then I just forgot. Then I forgot that I forgot. Then someone asked me if I had any recent pictures of Tony. Then I remembered, but didn’t have time. Now [...]

trains & horses
I am still catching up on my blogs and photos. I took Tony up to my parents house late last year for a visit. As he has gotten older he has learned to enjoy so many new things. The first time my Dad brought out this large scale, battery powered train set the only thing [...]
