The cat meowed next to me, tired of being in the carrying case, tired of riding in the car. The meowing became more and more intense. He threw his body against the door of the crate, clawed at his sheepskin pad, howled at the top of his little cat lungs. His crate was perched on […]
Chapter 3 “It only takes a spark, to get a fire going/ and soon all those around / will warm up in it’s glowing. That’s how it is with God’s love, blah blah blah blah blah, pass it on.” I am not a religious person; in fact, my beliefs venture into Bill Maher territory. That […]
In this time of COVID-19, focus on our immediate community is priority. With that in mind, we’re launching a new podcast with a hyper-local focus on our surrounding neighborhood, the Patterson Park area of Baltimore.

The union of those different benefits is one factor that makes our team so strong. I said, for example, my mother brings decades of experience and vitality to her shoots, Melanie […]
A New Year is here. Imagine it, 2015. I expected to be able to teleport my self to work by now. Or, at least, get in my hover craft and float to work. (Should Old Acquaintance be forgot…) But, nope. Not to be. Tomorrow I board my first flight of the year to… What exotic […]
I wrote this series six months ago. Time to show what’s changed in just 6 months…. ****** In the last couple of weeks, I’ve written two series: the first on trends affecting photography and, second, portraits.
