adventures in photography

I hadn't realized how long it had been since my last post... luckily, it's because I got busy with work, rather than true slackerdom. (slackerness? slackerocity?) When I barely have time to keep up with Twitter and Facebook, I know I'm busy.

I'm in Cleveland for the next week or so. Driving to Cleveland from Maryland is fairly simple: 70W, Penn tirnpike, Ohio Turnpike. With no deviations, it's less than a six hour drive, door to door.

Well, unless of course, you're me. I managed to drive North for not even an hour, meander around in Western Maryland for 6 hours, and then finish the drive to Ohio. The clouds were so incredible after the storms! I just had to stop and shoot. If you're a shutterbug, you'll understand.

Here's a favorite image from the trip:

Gettysburg, PA

It's surprising to me how close I live to the Gettysburg battlefields, and how infrequently I've visited. I've driven by a few times, yet haven't taken a proper tour. I hadn't even driven through until recently, when I had a few moments on the way to an appointment.

It was a very foggy and overcast day. The fields looked barren and empty, just waiting to be planted, to grow. I was able to make a few images while driving through. Here's my favorite:

down south

I was in Orlando last week, keeping a friend company while she attended a conference. I spent time on the coast, at the pool, and wandering around the city. I had a great time at the Botanical Gardens on a warm, sunny day.
