Baltimore

Copyright TimeLine Media - Inner Harbor

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to assist in photographing a wedding in Baltimore, MD. The area around the Inner Harbor of the city is a beautiful cityscape of tall buildings, wide streets,. Moreover, there are elevated pedestrian walkways, and a functional boat harbor. Especially on weekends, the area teems with people going to restaurants, shops, and museums that line the harbor. Luckily, there was one weekday when I had the chance to explore the city without much activity in the mid-morning. The harbor had a different feel. It was more serene and people that were around, were on the way to businesses and meetings instead of social gatherings. At this time, I was inspired by the difference from every other time that I have visited. It was easier to slow down with the camera and set up frames.

From the nearby Federal Hill neighborhood, there are monuments surrounding a promontory point that overlooks the harbor. In general, this is a popular spot for portrait sessions with couples and families. Both during the day, and into evening, the views of the harbor and city are a perfect backdrop. There are nice perspectives to the skyscrapers in the distance.

Uncle Bernie

Sebring, FL

My thoughts and prayers are with my cousins from Sebring, FL who are honoring their recently passed father at a military ceremony this afternoon. Uncle Bernie served so many during his time in the Air Force and the Peace Corps. The time in the Peace Corps brought him to the Philippines which ensured he would be surrounded by Filipinos for the rest of his life. He was present at many reunions, parties, and weddings. He watched over his boys, and helped to host our family trips to Florida. We always had a place to stay as he welcomed the invasion by our large extended family to their town. Later, he would have a larger extended family with grandchildren and great-grandchildren that loved to play with their Lolo.

It is nice to have images to look back and remember my Uncle Bernie’s life. Anytime someone passes, I recommit to make new images of family and friends before they are gone. Make images, and share them while they are new! The value only grows as the years fly by.

Arthur Murray – Professional Formation

Busy Sunday today! Someone on the email list informed me that I forgot to post photos from the professional formation from the last Arthur Murray DC event. So sorry! Of course, I did not mean to leave them off my blogging list. It was on there, however just waiting its turn. And here they are! These are my favorite photos from the Salsa professional dance formation. It was performed by the Gaithersburg and Silver Spring studios. The team performed the dance so smoothly – transitioning between partners, forming lines, circles, all while

Overall it is a lot to take in when photographing formation groups. Especially with the staff performing at a professional level, there is a lot to attempt to capture. Of course they have the dance figures, but they have the added element of their body position to other couples. With this in mind, I don’t think I have a good strategy for photographing this aspect. I do love having the chance to try!
