The Neighbors Reunion Rehearsal

On Sunday December 27, 2009, Sherman set the way back machine to the year 1988 with the destination being the greatest Polka combo to walk the Earth. Of course, I'm talking about DC's beloved Neighbors.

When these boys weren't out back rolling the bones for beer money, they could be found laying down the musical law.

Plank spankers John Moremen, Peter Gilstrap, and Scott McKnight. Skin man Steve Woehrle. Tight as a nut.

I was lucky enough to visit their pre-reunion rehearsal and grab a few shots. Much clanging, sanging, and laughter ensued. The dishes were mixed and the rack was stacked that day my friend.

La Casa Help-Portrait Session

Last Saturday I went down to La Casa Bilingual Shelter in Washington DC to assist in providing holiday portraits for some of the guys there.

This was done as part of Help-Portrait, http://www.help-portrait.com/, a give back to the community project started by photographer Jeremy Cowart. All around the world on 12/12, photographers were giving back to their communities by providing portrait opportunities for those who could not afford it otherwise.

I had the privilege of photographing Cook and Stewart.

You take a great group of photographers and assistants and add in some fantastic subjects and a good cause and that equals a huge jumpstart to the holiday season.

New York City

Digital Landscape Workshop Series

I was lucky enough to attend a photographic workshop that took place in New York City and was hosted by excellent instructors including Moose Peterson, Joe McNally, Kevin Dobler, and Laurie Excell.

We spent 3 days in and around NYC. Although it was a landscape workshop, we spent a lot of time wandering the streets of Manhattan and trying our hands at some street photography.

This was a bit intimidating at first but a fun challenge. These are a few of my results. I hope you like 'em!

A yearly occurring local parade in God's little slice of heaven in Montgomery County, Maryland.

Burtonsville's major landmark is a bedding store shaped like a barn and named appropriately enough, "The Bedding Barn".

Scott Kelby 2009 Photowalk

These images are from a photowalk that I took in the Chinatown area of Washington DC as part of the worldwide Scott Kelby Photowalk.

In all there were 32,000+ photographers in 900+ cities.

My walk was led by the great Jeff Revell and was a lot of fun. I'm using my old D70 that has been converted to a full time infrared camera.
