Rodanthe Pier and Blood Orange at FCCA
Happy Friday! Two of my pieces will be at FCCA for their June juried exhibition, which opens tonight at 6PM. I hope you can make it to what is sure to be another great FCCA show, but in case you can’t, here they are: Rodanthe Pier Blood Orange If I make it there, it’ll be […]
Memorial Day Weekend in Fredericksburg
On Saturday, local Boy and Girl Scouts lit a luminary for each of the 15,300 soldiers buried in the Fredericksburg National Cemetery. I can’t possibly convey the staggering effect of seeing this in person, but I hope these photos give you some idea.
Springtime in DC
I was in DC over the weekend for a job that I’ll share here soon, and we wrapped up just in time for me to catch the sun setting over the Tidal Basin. In honor of the first day of spring and the 100th anniversary of the gift of the cherry trees from Japan, here’s […]
Jym & Anna: Engaged!
I had the pleasure of joining my friends Jym and Anna for a fun engagement session starting at their house in downtown Fredericksburg and continuing at the amazing farm where they’ll be married in June. Along the way we had faux seriousness, genuine goofiness, and a pitchfork. I can’t wait to be back for the wedding!
My Tiniest Fundraiser

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 […]
