Engagement Photography – Karen and Michael, Winchester, VA

Photo Session Date: March 6, 2010

Photo Session Location: Museum of the Shenandoah Valley, Winchester, VA

Photo Session Details: Karen and Michael are getting married next month and all of us wanted to work in an engagement photo session prior to the big day. The winter weather has been atrocious this year with record snowfalls. Fortunately, after weeks of bitter cold we were fortunate to have scheduled the session for the first nice weekend of the year. We held the photo session at the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley in Winchester, VA which is home to a lovely art gallery and beautiful gardens when the flowers are in bloom. While photography is restricted to the first floor of the museum due to the artwork located on the second floor, we made the most of the opportunity and took some photos inside the main building and around the outside area bordering the gardens. It was still a bit chilly outside, but Karen and Michael were troopers and a fantastic couple to work with!

L is for Light at a Construction Site

This series is part of an on-going 26-week project entitled the ABCs of Photography in which I take a few photographs each week centered on on specific letter of the alphabet.

L is for Light at a Construction Site - While on-site for some construction photographs last week in Middletown, VA, both of these light fixtures happen to catch my eye. I think it was their unusual shapes and how they really illuminated a very low-lit and industrial area, not to mention the extreme contrasts of dark and light.

Engagement Photography – Amber and Corey, Winchester, VA

Photo Session Date: February 28, 2010

Photo Session Location: Winchester, VA

Photo Session Details: I have the privilege of photographing Amber and Corey's wedding this May. When I had them fill out a questionnaire regarding the details of their wedding, Amber noted that they first met at a local auto garage (Corey was the mechanic who worked on her car). As soon as I read that, I knew I wanted to hold their engagement session in an auto garage or repair shop. Being that the weather this February has been less than stellar, having an indoor location with meaning for the session made even more sense. Amber and Corey thought the idea was great and we met at the very garage where they first met for our engagement photo session.

Last Exit

I took this photograph in the stairwell of the Baltimore National Aquarium during my last visit there. An escalator was broken so they were redirecting people to the stairs to go up a floor. The creepy dark and grungy look of this photo is a stark contrast to the bright and lively environment of the Aquarium which is just through the exit door.

A Trip to the Baltimore National Aquarium

Photo Session Date: February 25, 2010

Photo Session Location: The National Aquarium in Baltimore, Maryland

Photo Session Details: Growing up and living near Baltimore for 25 years, I have been to the National Aquarium many times. Yet each time I go I am always amazed at the wondrous fish and animals they have on display there. My personal favorites of this visit were the new jellyfish exhibit (my wife wants a jellyfish tank for display in our home after seeing it), the sharks (I never get tired of sharks!) and of course the dolphin show (wow, they are smart mammals).
