Tu Pot

Trashcan Lid

Early-morning sunlight on Portland Street is the key to this image.

Faded Graffiti

It pays to look up, too.

This is right around the corner from where I work. I pass by here almost every day, but I never noticed this before.

Water Valve Cover

Still pays to look down. I'm on a manhole cover roll.

Uncle Sam

I saw "Uncle Sam" while attending the Tax Day Tea Party in Baltimore today. Ultra-soggy weather notwithstanding, the turnout was decent.

I took this one with my beat-up, carry-everywhere-in-my-pocket 5MP Canon SD400. The moon must have been in the Seventh House and Jupiter must have been aligned with Mars, because this is one sharp image. The difference between it and almost every other exposure I made today is amazing.

Water Meter Cover

On a rainy April day, corner of Pratt and Freemont, it paid to look down.

This is what I call "Nature's Photoshopping." The colors and texture look as if I cranked the Saturation slider way up, but this is pretty much what it looked like in the real world. I just applied normal color correction and sharpening.

Doorway Shadow

Taken during an early-morning stroll up Pinkney Street in Annapolis. Pinkney is an old, narrow lane full of colorfully-painted houses. You can always count on something worthwhile to photograph on Pinkney.
