TIDEWATER: Fall Sailing on the Chesapeake
It’s nearing the end of the boating season (at least for us!). We started the day off with rain and decided to simply stop by the Marina for lunch and take a stroll but all of sudden, serendipity. The weather went from fog, to crystal clear and back to cloudy in three blissful hours of sailing with a steady ten to fifteen knot wind.

Weclcome Back to WWII Memorial
Welcome back to whatever we call “normal” here in DC. I am looking forward to seeing nine flights this coming October 19th weekend and will be up at BWI greeting flights this afternoon. Congrats to everyone on a perfectly executed strategy during a difficult time. I believe Honor Flight garnered great media attention as the […]
Chesapeake Fall Sailing
L’Escargot is berthed at Herrington Harbour Marina which is about fifty minutes from my DC office. It’s a pleasure to spend some of these Fall days using the boat both as an office as well as for making images like the one above. I am sitll stunned that the Marina has wi-fi so I can spend time near the water in this beautiful Fall weat
WWII Memorial Heroes
Jewel of the Mall. Today, veterans from Chicago, Kansas and Missouri visited the WWII Memorial and had to be shielded from the many Congressman and Senators who showed up for a free photo op when the nation is shut down because of their incompetence.
Tidewater: Chesapeake in Fall
The light on the Chesapeake is quite extraordinary during these Fall afternoons and I have worked out a new camera kit which is proving quite useful when sailing. As always, there were some graceful and colorful boats and future versions of Tidewater: The Chesapeake Bay in Photographs will be richer for the afternoon.

DC PHOTO BOOK: Lincoln Views
I am still editing images from last week’s photo shoot on the Mall. The next edition of DC PHOTO BOOK: An Insider’s View will be richer for the experience. It’s been an amazing summer for photography and I am lucky to have a small business which allows me to pursue
Tidewater: Last Daze of Summer
These are a few images I’ve made around the Herrington Harbour Marina area. Workboats, sailboats, powerboats…they are all gorgeous and possible inclusions in the new edition of “Tidewater: the Chesapeake Bay in Photographs”.

Tidewater: Chesapeake Images
“Witchcraft”, a 1902 wooden sailing vessel berthed for the night at Herrington Harbour Marina. It’s a work of art and history. There is a video on the yacht’s website which shows you how little room you get in a 52 foot wooden yacht! The wooden rocking chair on the stern is just the perfect touch!
Martin Luther King Memorial
On my regular “rounds” of the Monuments, I stopped by to see the Martin Luther King Memorial. Last year, I had the pleasure of contacting the King Foundation for the permission to use a picture for the DC PHOTO BOOK and so it is the only general DC book sold in the MLK bookstore. You can also get it […]
DC PHOTO BOOK
I stopped at the WWII Memorial tonight to see how the construction on the West wall is going. Not so good….and it looks like another month. Hopefully we will have an intact Memorial before long. It’s what we Washingtonians call the “silly season” i
TIDEWATER: Classic Yachts
It’s been a busy year in Washington, DC but every week, I try to get out on the L’Escargot and capture the beauty of sailing on the Chesapeake. I know exactly which photograph this will replace in the new edition of Tidewater: The Chesapeake Bay in Photographs. This is a classic Tartan 37 cruiser/racer. I’d guess it’s early seventies and in great shape and trim as it sails off Herrington Harbour.

Nationals Opening Day
Five years ago, I had the enviable task of capturing the first pitch at the opening of Nationals Park. The plan was for the photograph to then be turned into a poster distributed stadium-wide after the game. Major League Baseball pitchers throw pretty fast, so it was an exciting proposition. The camera rig was designed […]
