County Prison-Round 2

A few of us made another trip back to the prison and I am much happier with how the photos came out this time.

Night Exposures

One thing I want to start experimenting with more is night exposures. The first photo was taken from our balcony while we were at the beach last summer.
-1 min exposure
-18mm
-ISO 600
-f/4
-11:30pm
If you look closely, on left hand side there was a guy with a flashlight walking in circles. Also, in the left part of the sky, you can catch a glimpse of trails from the stars

This photo is one of my favorite night exposures that I have haven captured. It was a 30 sec exposure with me running from the right side of the frame to the left, all while holding a flashlight with white and red LED lights.

Silkscreening

Joe and I have been messing around with some silkscreening stuff that we had laying around. We are currently only printing 1 color screens, until we get in the groove of things, but look for stickers/shirts to come in the very near future. Below is a sample of the first shirts that were printed. So far the only size available is a medium.

My House...Part 2 of 2

The second to last photo is an original Lincoln Highway marker. The "Lincoln Highway"was the first road across the United States. This is located at the end of my drivevway.

The last picture is actually a shot of the steeple that is on my neighbors roof. I had to stand on my not so stable fence and pull myself up onto his roof. While doing this I managed to scrape my forearm on the shingles. The only way down was to jump off of the 10' ledge onto the driveway. (I didn't completely think the whole thing through prior to climbing up there)

My House....Part 1 of 2

There are days that go by that I don't get a chance to take any photos and sometimes it bothers me, so I decided to walk around my yard and snap shots of things I see on a daily basis. Well, the sunflower is no longer with us but it did grow to be about 9' tall before the cold weather came.

I saw this the other day while i was walking in downtown York. Its kinda disturbing.

Hickey School

In 1850 this center began as the House of Refuge in Baltimore City. It was an early effort to separate children from adult criminals in jails. After a few name changes, the center moved to its present site near in northern Baltimore County. In 2005, the Governor orderd that the center be closed and be replaced with a new regional detention center.
