Oh Baltimore…

Tomorrow night, Baltimore’s own Bosley will be playing at the Mobtown Ballroom. Live music and dancing, you can’t go wrong.
Travel Notes–Baltimore
Baltimore. Most seem to know it from The Wire and occasionally from Homicide: Life on the Street or John Waters’ movies like Hairspray. But whether you know anything about this funny city on the water or not, there’s always something else to discover, learn or do just like any other bigger town or city. And…
Wet
Another rainy day in Baltimore…
Autumn
It’s hard to believe, but today it was warm and sunny enough to be driving around town with the windows down. Even though it’s November, Baltimore is, as usual, somewhat reluctant to admit that it’s fall and that winter will be on the way soon enough. The leaves are still hanging on though. And some…
This time last year
This time last year, we had a glorious sunset… This year, the sunset is a little underwhelming but I’m glad to have captured last year’s. How’s the weather been in your neck of the woods, readers?
A quick ‘Hello’
The last few weeks have been a blur of work, travel and a healthy dose of stress. Even so, I’ve been generating new work and at long last am happy to share some of it with you, dear readers. Before the rain blew in this weekend, I went on a long walkabout and had a…

Saturday
I haven’t shot anything in weeks, months even… which makes me rather sad. I have a feeling the dry spell will soon end. A few shots from yesterday:

Ignite Baltimore 5
The videos of last week’s Ignite Baltimore 5 are all available on YouTube; life is good. The event itself was great; bigger and even better than IB4. Here are a few of the more memorable presentations: transcript of Brian Sacawa’s talk Part of what I liked about this talk was the belief in Baltimore he…
Things that got me through Snowpocalypse 2 and 3
Atlas Snowshoes–with ~4′ of snow on the ground, these are almost a necessity Keen boots–without a good pair of boots, snowshoes aren’t much use Under Armour base layers–keep warm and dry no matter how wet you get in the snow Design House Stockholm pleece–warm and snuggly North Face WindWall–keeps the wind out and adds a…
More Postcards from the Last Snowpocalypse
With Snowpocalypse 3 (THREE?!) raging outside my window, I suppose now is as a good a time as any to share a few more pictures from Snowpocalypse 2:
Postcards from Snowpocalypse 2, Saturday
Shoveling
Unless you live under a rock or more likely, are one of my readers from abroad you might not know that this weekend brought Baltimore an historic blizzard. So this afternoon once the snow had stopped, I helped my family dig out. My mum was kind enough to supply the following video of my father…
Brain Candy
Today finds Charm City buried once again, in a blanket of sparkling white. The effect is beautiful, bewildering and even a little inspiring though at some point after hours of shoveling, the snow will become less than charming. In the meantime, here is a piece of visually stunning eye/brain candy straight from Japan for you,…
Tuesday Tunes
This morning, I was not feeling terribly motivated– it has been a bitterly cold, WINDY winter day in Charm City and my inner bear just wants to hibernate this time of year. But I’ve kept my favorite mug full of fresh coffee and even went so far as to pull together a playlist to keep…
