Location Scouting

Downtown Annapolis, MD is, for the moment, fulfilling my desire to seek out exotic lands with her beautiful lines, history, and layers of brick.  Until my passport is used again, I am exploring various backgrounds and lighting options around the area for future photo sessions.  Usually I prefer the funky colors of the old buildings but felt these shots look more dramatic in black & white.

London Skyline

London, England.  As the moon rises the sky becomes outlined by rooftops.  View from a hostel window on a hot summers night.

Embassy of France

Black & White images of various ceilings in the Embassy of France (La Maison Francaise) in Washington D.C.

Tourist Week

Annapolis, Maryland.  Images taken at night during the U.S. Powerboat show where all the tourists mixed with the locals inside keeping dry during rain storms.  Many were also still in town from last week’s U.S. Sailboat Show.

Grill

A Black & White image of an old McCormick Deering Grill found in South-West Canada.

Boat Living

Black & White images of Boat Living in Oosterdok, Amsterdam.  Here, there are 3 different images which show how people have adapted to water life.  One with a car onboard (left), and one with an outdoor eating area (center).  The other photo, which makes me smile the most in this series, consists of two boats next to each other: one is full of seating and the other is home to a theatre stage.  Both of these boats will float parallel to each other down the river during an evening performance (right).

Industry Event

Black & White Images from the GOOD House DC Secret Industry Event @ P.D.T in Washington D.C.  Although I was there to shoot the people at the event, I couldn’t resist capturing some of the beautiful design details of the space before it started.  My dear friend DJ Rainier was there spinning all night long with some of the best and freshest beats in D.C. To view the party images you can become a fan of Blue Crab Yo-Yo Photography on Facebook.

Barren Baltimore

On a photo assignment with The Park Advocate in Baltimore, Maryland.  We spent a considerable amount of time capturing images for stories showing just how “unkept” certain areas of our city look.  Along the way we met some lively characters and observed a variety of different living conditions. Images speak volumes.  If you would like to follow some of these stories please visit The Park Advocate link – and as always feel free to comment both here and on their page.

World of Windows

Black & White Windows from various places in Europe.

British Museum

The British Museum in London has a fantastically bold ceiling and is home to the Rosetta Stone which is a valuable key to the decipherment of hieroglyphs.
