State Fair
August 31, 2010 4:47 pmOddly enough, I had never been to a state fair before Sunday. Maryland‘s was exactly what I expected: livestock, award-winning vegetables and handmade pillows, over-priced rides, and another opportunity to eat turkey legs.
The only downfall? I stepped in poo while petting a goat. Normally this would not have bothered me, but Theo threatened not to let me back in the house. Luckily, we compromised and he found a stick for me to de-poo the shoes with. Life is tough.
There is no “T” in Baltimore
August 26, 2010 3:30 pmThings I’ll miss about Balmore: dirt, grime, poverty, abandonment, and the occasional attempt at appearing civilized.
CCRG
3:21 pmBehold my first and only attempt to photograph roller derby. Theo and I have been attending the Charm City Roller Girls‘ bouts almost all season, so this was also how we spent my last day in Baltimore. 
I recently purchased this beast of a lens, 17-35mm f/2.8 that I’ll need to try when the derby comes around again. More accurately, when the CCRG and I are in Baltimore on the same weekend.

oh hai
June 1, 2010 7:41 pmThings that you may have missed:
I’m working full-time in sales, will attend Ohio University for an MA in Photojournalism in the fall, went to a bunch of shows, had a birthday, got an A in Elementary Japanese, booked some flights to/around Japan, did some stuff, etc etc. If you’re really not certain about that seemingly useless MA, check out Soul of Athens.
Theo and I have been swing dancing (East AND West coast), nerding out to roller derby, and generally visiting as many places on a budget as possible. This weekend? Party on a 50th-floor rooftop in Manhattan…and all I’m worried about is what to wear.
Took these photos for Theo’s apartment. His suggestion was “blue & orange” while my addition is parts of tourist Baltimore that are beautifully falling apart. They’re currently in a corner, so I’ll share them with you, great internet:
Spring Break – Pt 2
March 29, 2010 9:30 pmPart Two of Spring Break had two missions:
Not spend any money
Stop the guilt from NOT visiting my parents.
So I visited them. Not the most fun people on Earth, but Arizona is beautiful. I also did an excellent (cough cough) photo essay on animals with/without thumbs at the Phoenix Zoo.
Spring Break – Pt 1
9:23 pmPart One had two main objectives:
Get out of the country &
Take Julia somewhere she had never been before.
Naturally the choice was Niagara Falls. Unfortunately, the border simply doesn’t stamp passports anymore. But we made quite a lot of friends, and, well, forget that story about hitting the moose. Everyone survived. For future reference, don’t take spring break somewhere cold, when its going to rain, and drive home during daylight savings time. All is well now, 2 new tires later.
