RIFF 2011
After I had such a great time at last year’s Rappahannock Independent Film Festival, I made sure to get on board early this year so that I could cover it from beginning to end. Despite the severe thunderstorm before the concert on Thursday night and the hurricane during the screenings on Saturday, the festival was […]
Blackberries and Peaches
One of the best things about summer in Virginia is fresh fruit. Until our own ice cream muskmelons ripen, we’ve got plenty of local farms to keep us fed and happy. This weekend we picked blackberries at both Miller Farms and Westmoreland Berry Farm. Some of them even made it into our buckets! Miller Farms […]
Independence Day in Fredericksburg
I had the opportunity this year to experience July 4th in downtown Fredericksburg since we had our usual party (see 2009 and 2010) on Saturday. First up is the annual river raft race from Falmouth Waterfront Park to the City Dock sponsored by the Fredericksburg Jaycees. It was a beautiful day to float down the […]
Country Estate Party Portraits
For the few who follow me here but not on Facebook or Twitter, I’ve got an exciting project to share. I’ll have more details soon, but for now check out these portraits on Flickr: The great Dave Shumka, Jesse Thorn, Jordan Morris, and Graham Clark on Flickr
Jen & Mark
I’m finally getting around to posting the photos from Jen and Mark’s wedding! The amazing setting is Jen’s parents’ house on the river in Warsaw, Virginia. Everyone had a great time, myself included, and I’m grateful to have been a part of their day. And a huge thanks to both Bri Bevan of photography and […]
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 […]
