This one time, back in August, a boy and I wandered through the woods. Then I learned, while studying for the GRE, that a group of trees is called a “stand.” So next time you’re in the woods… you’re actually in a bunch of stands. Or something.

Artscape & Shenanigans
We athijews attacked Artscape. Hello children’s puzzles and a near-free afternoon! Oh, and this squirrel ate our power line. We lost power for a while, but I think he lost the war.
Maryland Zoo
So this one time, back in June, a boy and I went to the zoo. We had a photo-off, and I contend that I won, mainly because I shot digital and was able to edit before the viewing. :p
D3 ?!?
Did a couple of freelance assignments for The Capital again on Wednesday, they let me use a brand new Nikon D3. Glorious. In-between assignments, on the way back to my car, I attacked some flowers.

First, some quotes. From Pink’s So What: “So, so what, I’m still a rock star I got my rock moves and I don’t need you And guess what, I’m havin’ more fun And now that we’re done I’m gonna show you tonight I’m alright, I’m just fine and you’re a […]

Work and school are still in full force, but Drake and I are over. The weather sure is lovely, though. Funny how a beautiful day makes you appreciate the small things. Like never regretting a dramatic green wall. Or that flowers are even better through a macro filter. Or a […]
Signs of Life
After several phone calls, $80, and some re-wiring, my scanner works. I probably should have purchased a new one, but its too late now. I’ve been all too busy with work, school, trying to find health insurance, and trying to get assignments from The Capital to have any sort of […]
Inclement Weather
President Obama is right… we are weather wimps. I had two dentist appointments, two classes, and two educational matinees canceled. That means a lot of time on my hands. Now that the snow is melted and my bosses are on vacation… I work approximately 30 hours between today and Sunday.
Crofton
House-sitting while the parents are house-hunting… feed the cats, refill the humidifiers… eventually I got bored enough on my day off for a photo walk. I used to be afraid of the woods behind our homes, but time conquers all.
The Good, the Bad, and the Hopeful
GOOD: Yesterday I received my first check from The Capital. $35 for one published assignment. Its not a Pulitzer, but it officially launches me into the realm of professional photojournalism. Barely, but technically. Also, I got an e-mail from a videographer I met in Photoshop last semester saying he needed […]
