The Second House on Rt 12

Every day I drive down the same road to work. I always noticed that this road had many abandoned properties but I didn't realize exactly how many until I counted them on my way home. There was at least twenty. One house I drove by I couldn't figure out weather or not it was abandoned and I kept looking for a sign that it was. One day I was sure the front door was just sitting opened when I started paying more attention to that house and to my luck it was and the property was abandoned. Below are a few of the shots I got of the property.

Nancy & Tay

So a friend of mine recently got engaged and she asked me to do some engagement photos for her. I told her I would be more than happy to do so. Here are a few of the shots. 

Senior Portrait

Sorry it has been so long since I last posted but I've been very busy with a new job and classes. These photos I did for a friends daughter. She needed her senior portraits done and she really didn't have to much of an opinion where they where done. She is a very beautiful young woman and I was excited to do them. This was my first time taking senior portraits for someone. We did a few in her backyard and then went to her church and lastly took only a couple at the park in town. It had been freezing that day and she was wearing a dress. She was great and opened to anything I suggested to her. Below are a few of the shots I did for her. The left two shots are so yellow/orange because the sun was setting and shinning in through the stain glass windows while I was shooting. That was the natural light. 

Camp Agape Video

Ok so it's been awhile since I've posted. I have wanted to but I was sick for a month in the hospital once and then been sick off and on after that month. Also I have been working on trying to find a job which I can now say I have finally found one. I am now an business intern for Orbital Science. In order to do this internship I had to go back to school so I am now working towards a second degree in business management.

Before I became sick I had been working on a video of Camp Agape to help promote the camp. I worked on this video for free out of pure boredom of not having a job. The people I did this video for are very happy with the results. I am happy with it myself but it really made me miss the kids when I was going though all the footage and listening to what they had to say.

I am really hoping that I will have the opportunity to go back and work with these kids again. They where amazing kids. Here is the video I created.


                                      

Snow Hill Yoga

Here where I live there is a lady that teaches yoga in town. I have been taking classes with her and recently she had asked me if I would take some photographs of her advanced class for her monthly flyers. She said that we could do a trade, the photographs for yoga classes. We agreed which worked well for me cause currently I am out of a job.

I am only in the beginner class so it was very interesting to see the more complex poses done in the advanced class. I have found that done here it is useful to do trades to get what you need. Here are a few of the photographs I took for her. 

Before the class while I was waiting for the instructor I took these couple photographs of the center of town. The light was really nice in the way it fell on the buildings and everything was very peaceful and quite because of how early it was.

Maryland Farm Land

Every time I leave town I drive by this one stretch of farm land and I think to myself I must stop and photograph that, so yesterday I decided I was going. I hopped in the car drive about five minutes out of town and took some photographs. Here are two of the ones I took. 

The Blue Dog Cafe

In the town I currently live in there is a small restaurant called The Blue Dog Cafe. The link for the cafe is http://www.bluedogsnowhill.com/Welcome.html They are only open two nights a week and the two men who run the cafe are Todd Crosby and Gary Weber who both used to sing on Broadway. There is always live music. I was asked to come down for a special event and photograph. Kelly Briggs and John McMahon sung for a small audience that night. Those that attended where able to hear a preview of a song from a performance that will soon be on broadway.

The man playing piano is John McMahon and the man in the white suit is Kelly Briggs.
