About a year old, but I really like this shot. This was at Baltimore’s Federal Hill. I think I slightly prefer the perspective of B. People I ask seem to be split. Hope you like!

Which crop do you prefer? Why? (and thanks for your opinions)

A.

Canon 350D: Canon EF 35mm, F/22, 5 sec, ISO 100

B. Alternate Cropping (which I now view as inferior…)

…a good omelette. Are you?

I ate this lovely salmon omelette at Petit Louis here in Baltimore. If you’re in the area, you should check it out.

I’m not sure why, but for some reason (probably because I am loaded with work and stress), I’ve been feeling rather nostalgic the past couple of days. Here’s another picture that I took back in the old days with my Digital Rebel XT in San Diego (specifically Miramar Lake, which is about 5 minutes from where I grew up–Scripps Ranch).

At times during your journey, you must be alone. This is not necessarily a bad thing, though. Do you ever feel alone despite being surrounded by a lot of people?

Do you ever wish that you could travel back to a less stressful time? Although I am happy with life as it is now, I can’t help but feel stressed. It’ll all be over in less than a month, though. Alas, that adds to the stress… greatly.

This photo was taken back in my hometown of San Diego, CA. It was taken a bit before I started studying–a simpler time, for sure. After living in Baltimore for (now) 6 years, I miss many things about San Diego… The perfect weather, the people (despite whatever objections Karen may have to this), and the sunsets. OK; OK. this sunset isn’t the beach sunset, but I thought it was worthy of a shot, and subsequent post.

EDIT: I really can’t concentrate. I should be studying, but here I am again… Ugh. XANGA = EVILLLL!

Ever feel like you’ve almost reached your goal, but then something is just cages you in?

Sometimes you can still find refreshment in a familiar venue, or an empty glass…

I was in need of a diversion while I was wating for some data to process here at lab, and I decided to do a little doodle on my whiteboard. The real post is coming in the evening when I get back on my computer. I have some images processed, ready for my post!

Note: I cannot draw. I suck at drawing. I am HORRIBLE at drawing. Oh, and my flowers are as big as my tree.

Some crappy camera (Minolta DiMAGE Z2: 6-60 mm @ 8 mm, F/2.9, 1/80 sec, ISO 200)

EDIT: Photo updated to reflect some additions (swing, tree bark), heh.

I was out at Claude Moore Park in Herndon, VA with my girlfriend last week… Anyway, I took a shot that I like, but I felt that it needed some different processing. Anyway, this is my first time trying that old film-style look…

Hope you guys like!
