Happy National Doughnut Day!
I hope everyone is enjoying their National Doughnut Day! I would’ve gone to Paul’s, but Krispy Kreme is more photogenic. They’re also more free-doughnutty today.
Wounded EOD Warrior Polar Bear Plunge 2011
It’s tough to call anyone else brave when the Wounded EOD Warrior Foundation is around, but anyone who would go for a swim in the Rappahannock on an early February morning is clearly braver than I. And a shocking number of people did on Saturday at the WEODW’s fourth annual Polar Bear Plunge at the […]
DCist Exposed 2011
It’s DCist Exposed time of year again, and this year I’m sticking close to home. I took all three photos in Fredericksburg, where we get whomped by the same snow storms, enjoy the same temperate growing season (sometimes with the land to use it), and even get some of the same great musical acts at […]
RIFF 2010
I went to the Rappahannock Independent Film Festival a few Saturdays ago with my with my festival day pass and my camera, just hoping to see some films and some friends, and probably grab a few photos. But when Ian checked me in at the front desk and asked if I could fill a gap […]
Ice Cream
This is an ice cream musk melon; so named because, when cut in half and cleaned out, it’s the perfect size for a scoop of ice cream. We grew this melon from seed in our garden, along with many other fruits and vegetables that will get some attention here when I get a chance. For […]
Summer
Each Summer, I get to spend at least two days with great food and friends: Independence Day at my house (see: last year) and a Swedish Midsummer celebration at Casey‘s house. This year, the July 4th main course was made by Dixie Bones, and I couldn’t be happier about that. If you’re looking for photos […]
Snowbound in Charlottesville
Out of everything in a very eventful 2009, I’m most thankful for making it home alive from Blacksburg, Virginia during/after the recent storm that attempted to strand, smash, and throw my wife and me off a few mountains. We spent 7 terrible hours driving 120 miles with no physical or mental breaks until I finally […]
Family Portraits in Fredericksburg
I had the opportunity over the weekend to spend a beautiful afternoon at Fredericksburg’s Chatham Manor photographing Aaron and Mike’s family, including their two adorable children. The kids ranged from being good sports to hamming it up, I had a great time, and everyone enjoyed the unseasonably warm weather. I tried to pare down the […]
UVA Football
A good friend from college has season tickets for UVA football this year, but couldn’t make it to the opening game in Charlottesville this past weekend and I took his place. In the end it was a sad and frustrating loss that I won’t recount here, but it was great to be back in Charlottesville […]
