Fremont Street Blossoms

A tree blossoms on Fremont Street, about a block from where I work.

Rendezvous at Frank Robinson

This young couple used the number 20 in the forecourt of Camden Yards stadium as a meeting point.

There are several of these large metal numbers here, each representing a famous Oriole. I don't really follow basesball, so I had to look up the numbers - see NumerOlogy: The Uniform Number History of the Baltimore Orioles.

The Babe Approves

A statue of Baltimore-born Babe Ruth watches over the crowds heading into the stadium for yesterday evening's game against the Yankees.

Pre-Game Excitment

As fans gather on Washington Street, across from Oriole Park, these guys show off some spirit prior to this evening's game against the Yankees.

The two fellows on the left noticed me just as I snapped the shutter and showed their approval, while two-fisted Number 34 concentrated on his beer.

420 Racers

Here's one of the Annapolis Yacht Club piers on Spa Creek, near sunset in mid-August 2003. The boats are small racing sailboats used by high-school-age Junior Sailing Program members for instruction and competition.

One of my more nautically-inclined friends, upon seeing this photo, told me that these small boats are called "420 racers," referring to the boats' length in centimeters. For use in competition, this little fleet is ideal; since the boats are all the same, winning is a matter of seamanship rather than equipment.

I took this photo from the drawbridge spanning Spa Creek, which separates downtown Annapolis from Eastport. Over the years, I keep coming back to photograph this nicely-lined-up set of racers from different viewpoints, time of day, and seasons.
