Redneck yacht club

Greg Kahn and I romped around a mud bogging festival yesterday in south Florida...just outside of Fort Myers. It was awesome.

Protest

Great Falls

The Tristan Spinski Adventure Club, led by President and decorated field guide Tristan Spinski, scaled the rocks at Great Falls, Virginia this afternoon during a "Being Awesome" excursion in the Virginia wilderness. Two probational members, Billie Ocean Spinski and Sarah Spinski, signed on for the expedition in hopes of earning membership badges to The Tristan Spinski Adventure Club. Billie Ocean Spinski quickly distinguished herself as having tremendous backwoods survival skills and has been upgraded to Club Vice President. Sarah Spinski received 4 demerits for her "unawesome" behavior on the cliffs. In hopes of winning favor with the club's board of directors, Mrs. Spinski has eagerly accepted the title of Chief Sandwich Maker for the club. She hopes to achieve membership in 2010.

Fight Night II

Polish-American Gothic

Dad and Sally wanted me to shoot their Christmas card this year. Who am I to argue with the Reverend Victor Spinski?

Army-Navy 2008

I shot the Army-Navy football game in Philly with Bill Putnam today. By far the most fun I've had shooting this year. I wandered the field with two digital bodies and a HOLGA, no deadlines, and no real inclination to photograph game action. We had chilly weather, great light, and a cheerful gang of Secret Service.

Two weeks until the fight

Foggy Sunday

got bored tonight and wandered to the roof with a camera

Baltimore

Spent the day at the Baltimore Aquarium. I brought along an XPan, a panoramic 35mm camera. It's a different way of seeing...I think it's going to take some getting used to.

Purgatory

These pics are trapped in purgatory - somewhere between my hard drive and my website. I figured the blog would be an appropriate resting place.

fresh air

I wandered out of my apartment tonight to get some fresh air and enjoy a snow flurry...which stopped with in minutes of me pulling the camera out. I fantasized a street lamp, backlit falling snow, and a lonely figure with an umbrella. Oh well.

These pretzels are making me thirsty!

Foggy morning...take two

I revisited the scene of early morning fog and shot it with my Holga this time.

Watch out!
My outfit's ridiculous, In the club lookin' so conspicuous.
And Rowl! These women al on the prowl, if you hold the head steady I'm a milk the cow.
Forget about the game I'm a spit the truth, I won't stop till I get em in they birthday suits.
So gimmie the rhythm and it'll be off with they clothes, then bend over to the front and touch your toes.
