In the back of a cab the other night, I noticed that the low evening light really accentuated the hues of my lovely bruise. I think this sucker is going to be around awhile. Maybe I should give it a name. The cause of this monstrosity was…

Sometimes I wonder if I’m being too sly and underhanded sneaking photos of people without them knowing. But I like to think of it as simply capturing an honest moment. And yes, it is slightly blurry, but something I’m working on :).

This is probably the view if one has had too much to drink. Fortunately just my camera was that low to the bar.

For those of you that watch The Wire, this is probably a familiar sight. From the view of my train, I saw with my own eyes that these corners in Baltimore really do exist — and this particular one is for the taking. Mos def.

Yes, another pool shot, but I’m loving the late afternoon/early evening light.

As some may know, I’m a weather nut. Needless to say I was completely enthralled with the show the skies put on for me in Tucson.

This 4th of July weekend was spent at my brother’s house in Tucson. I have always wanted to experience the extreme heat of the desert during summer but temps only hovered around the high 90s. Good enough for me and thank goodness for swimming pools.

Just another day walking through the west village.

Yes, I’m having a fine time with this 14mm lens. Ernie wanted to check it out too and took a big sniff.

My dear friend Pamela has let me borrow her camera before I actually take the plunge and buy a 5D for myself. It’s a good sign that this camera is the one for me when I capture a shot like this.
