Kay Spiritual Life Center

I think I'm going to start a project to photograph American University in HDR. I already have a few shots, and I did one more yesterday. This is Kay Spiritual Life Center, better know to students as the Flaming Cupcake. Step outside, and you'll know why. Click on this photograph to see what I think of it, and also check out my flickr page while you're there.

Max's Taphouse

Another shot from my fantastic weekend. My friends and I stopped into this bar to redeem a "buy one beer, get one free" coupon. Max's Taphouse had a draft list of about 80 beers. It was pretty amazing. I recommend it.

Camden Yards

This is my first HDR in a very long time. Took a weekend trip to Baltimore where I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Camden Yards, as many of you may know is the home of the Baltimore Orioles baseball team. There were a a whole bunch of numbers outside the stadium that represented retired numbers of Orioles legends. I don't know who number 20 is.

Long Ago

This is just a shot that I did with my point and shoot almost three years ago. I just rediscovered it and did some post processing on it. My goal is to find a good photo from before my Nikon. I want to prove that it's not just my equipment that makes me a good photographer.

Happy America Day

In honor of our Country's 3,000th birthday, here's a picture of a small kid playing with fireworks. God bless the USA.

Thriller

A little late, but since everyone is in the Michael Jackson mood, here's a shot of some friends practicing thriller.

Pilars

Another shot in Cairo. I need to travel more. Need new cities for pictures. Anybody going on vacation and need a date?

My President

Just because he rules.

Midday Cairo Alley

Can't help it. I'm lazy. Sorry for being bad about posting.

Another example of a fake tilt-shift photograph. This was taken from a bridge on Ring Road in Cairo. It's a highway that almost circles the entire city. I say almost because the ring isn't closed. It has like a three mile gap or something, but that's not really all that important. What is kind of funny though is that while I was looking through some pictures that one of my friends studying in Cairo this spring took, and I noticed a picture of the same alley from the exact same spot. I emailed her my picture and her picture for comparison. She didn't realized that I hadn't just simply edited hers until I brought it up with her. Funny thing is that the picture is in a book I gave her before she left.

As a side note, I encourage you to click on this picture and then select the large view to get a closer look. It gives the effect a better feeling.

Ken

While I was home last week, my mom's birth mother came in to town to visit for my brother's high school graduation. This is her husband Ken enjoying a beer in the beautiful Iowa early summer weather. As a side note, they live about a half-hour from the Sierra Nevada brewery in California, so Ken is no stranger to this beer.
