Thanks. Mid day yesterday.
I've lived in Maryland most of my life and been across the Bay Bridge countless times. Bucket list item achieved yesterday courtesy of an old journalism friend. I got to putz around under it. Such an iconic beauty. #photography #blackandwhite #baybridge #maryland

Be open and honest. Show genuine interest. Mention what attracted you to take their photo: their smile, what they are wearing, their vibe. Don't take it personally if they say no. I rarely get a no. It's electric once you get past your fear. Most folks appreciate the attention. And send a file after

Patience pays off. Been looking and listening all spring for Orioles in the Patapsco Valley. For weeks did not have much luck. Today I went old school with a big sit. Here is two hours worth of Oriole goodness. Patapsco River at Oella, MD. #photography #birds #patapsco #oella #maryland

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

I’ve been trying to get a worthy shot of Osprey who have returned to the upper Patapsco from South America. Despite my repeated sorties, they would not let me get within 200 yards without flushing. Today, I changed it up with a big sit, and wait. #photography #patapsco #oella #maryland
