Subtlety…
Subtlety is something many of my favorite portrait photographers seem to share and lately its something I have been trying to incorporate a little more into my work. I think the word, “grace”, often describes what I am attracted to in portraiture. Richard Avedon, one of my favorites, effortlessly captured this in both his fashion and [...]
Weekend Shoot
Saturday was spent shooting with Dominique, a local model working on her portfolio. I am happy to say that I have been getting many inquiries for this type of work and have several more shoots scheduled this month. I am heading out of town tomorrow for the Look3 photography festival after a magazine assignment today [...]
Thank You…
Last week I headed up to Toronto and while wondering around Kesington Market, I came across this woman writing in her journal. I snapped about two frames. She knew right away I was there and the first two pictures she had her hand covering her face. After I explained my intention and that she was [...]
New thoughts?
Wow!! Almost a month since my last post, where have I been? Actually, I have been out of town a bit working and have not had a chance to sit down and post. I am off again this Sunday to Toronto for about a week then back to Baltimore. In June, the look3 photography festival [...]

Last weekend I headed downtown to the Transmodern festival going on all weekend long. I spent part of Sunday enjoying the craziness that took over. As I wandered around, it was hard not to notice that the street performers and exhibits turned the area into the closest thing to Alice and Wonderland without me having [...]
Elephants in the city….
On Wednesday, April 1st, the circus, which is in town for the week, brought six elephants up Eutaw street to the historic Lexington Market in Downtown Baltimore to have lunch with Baltimorians. The elephants stood outside the market in front of huge piles of fruits and vegetables. I have to say, they probably ate better [...]
Get up, Stand up…
This week I headed to D.C. to check out an exhibit on legendary performer and musisan, Bob Marley. Marley has been a major influence in my life since I first heard his record when I was in junior high school. David Burnett, an amazing photojournalist, covered Marley’s life in Jamaica and then his 1977 Exodus [...]
On the road….
About a month ago I took a road trip, starting in Buffalo and driving all the way down into the FL Keys for about two weeks and then headed up to Miami for a brief time before return to Baltimore. I love travel even it means sitting in a car for a couple days. Road [...]
