Skulldog.

Skulldog. (Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, Washington, DC) – Another fun composition that I found in the museum, complete with a light-leak/shutter-bounce from my Leica R5. Off to the repair shop. Leica R5, Leica 35mm f/2.
Sea Monsters.

Sea Monsters. (Smithsonian Natural History Museum, Washington, DC) – Remains of sea monsters. Their design is inspiring. Leica R5, Leica 35mm f/2.
(A DRY GASP OF AIR) The Return from the Blog-o-Crypt…

<A DRY GASP OF AIR> (Baltimore, MD). Leica R5, Leica 35mm f/2.
Nothing to see here… Just the corpse of my personal photography blog reanimated into some sort of zombified-technological-failure-of-social-media…
More sights to see soon…
(Also, speaking of dolphins, if you haven’t watched The Cove and are looking to for a fist full of reality, you MUST watch it. This was one of the few films that I awoke the morning afterwards and was still thinking about it. I regret the dolphin photos immensely.)
Appalachia.

Appalachia. (Big Meadows, VA) – Mountain top experience, with the Love. And nowhere to go except up. Canon 5D Mk2, Leica 21mm f/4.
Going Ape.

Going Ape (Smithsonian Zoo – Washington, DC) – Gorilla mom’s watchful eye. We had an incredible experience with an orangutan later that day… To anthropomorphize the situation, he showed us he was happy to see us by swinging over and pulling a ‘see-food’ trick with a mouthful of bamboo (?). Unfortunately, that picture is NSFL (Not Safe For Lunch). Canon 5D Mk2, Leica 90mm f/2.
Where the Buffalo Roam.

Where the Buffalo Roam. (Maymont Park, VA) – Oh, the poor buffalo. Stuck in the rain and in a pen, and looks like he needs a hug. Canon 5D Mk2, Canon 50mm f/1.4.
We Are Hidden in the Light.

We Are Hidden in the Light. (McClure, PA) – Taken wayyyy too late at night. The sky was extremely clear, and I hit the fields around my work one night – however, I am pretty sure they were freshly manured. Only in darkness are the lights revealed. Canon 5D Mk2, Leica 15mm f/3.5.
Red All Over.

Red All Over (McClure, PA). Just testing out some colors and the 15mm. I forgot how much I love that thing. Canon 5D Mk2, Leica 15mm f/3.5.
Jawbone.

Jawbone (Smithsonian Natural History, DC). Lomo LC-A, Ektachrome 400, Cross-processed.
Riding Skills > Walking Skills.

Riding Skills > Walking Skills. (State College, PA) – Clay riding his knobby-tyred bicycle across the famous Three Bridges section of the Wilderness 101 endurance race. I had a great wedding that afternoon, so I could only photograph in the morning, but the sun coming through the fog made for some great back-lit shots. More to come, probably on the event blog soon. Canon 5D Mk2, Canon 24-70mm f/2.8.
