On 3/25/10 we finally got our own studio in Baltimore, MD. Now we have a place that we can shoot anything, 24 hours a day, and even hold small events and meetings. Stay tuned for the great shots I’ll be taking there and posting here from time to time.
Latest NWS Sterling forecast for tomorrow (Friday): “Rain before 11am, then rain and snow between 11am and 1pm, then a slight chance of rain after 1pm. Temperature falling to around 42 by 1pm.” That’s a bit different than today’s 77 degrees! Th…
Now that we have a butcher across the street I like trying the new stuff they get. Pictured: a Wagyu beef hot dog with a glass of Beaujolais. These hot dogs are much better than the standard grocery store variety (bigger too). Now that it’s warm enough to grill out we recommend trying these. I topped mine with mustard, salad onions, and 5 spoke tumbleweed cheddar (available at kybecca, of course).
Normally I would pair beer with a hot dog, but I decided to try wine this time. I went with a Beaujolais because they are lighter bodied and very food friendly. If you ever have a tricky wine pairing Beaujolais is a fail safe. More common reds like Cabernet and Shiraz tend to be too big and rich.
Oh, and don’t forget the salad to get some vegetables. I sauteed spinach and tossed it with vinaigrette and tomatoes.
Just a pretty scenic near Lake Anna in Spotsylvania on my way back from Louisa County High School for the last of my winter sportraits. I liked passing through the little town of Mineral as there is a tasty little barbecue shack there. Or at least there was – apparently it changed hands. So no […]
Couple days of sun, couple days of rain, some wind, alternating cool and warm temperatures…yep, sounds like spring in Virginia! Today’s showers will morph into a couple of sunny days with highs in the 60’s, then more rain will enter the picture on T…
This video, sped up 4 times, shows the rain free base I was observing yesterday from a position just off Rte 29 south in northern Madison county. Note the cloud motions in the foreground (left to right) versus the almost static features in the backgro…
Ahhhh… the new million dollar question. So, we’ve all heard that HAMP (Home Affordable Modification Program) is supposed to save defaulting home owners from the disaster that is short sales and foreclosure. But, you may have noticed that not many consumers who are in distress are actually being approved to modify their loans. Well, there […]
Given the forecasts – including a 5% “See Text” from the SPC – and surface conditions today I decided at noon that chasing was worth a try. There were storms east and west of I-95 at that point, but the sky was clearing west of I-95 and was a better b…
