What's our vector, Victor?
Flying a plane is no different from riding a bicycle. It's just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.

Love is in the Air
Congratulations to Brandy and Andrew (above) on their upcoming April 2010 wedding. I had the wonderful opportunity to shoot some engagement photos for this dynamic couple last weekend at Rittenhouse Park in Newark. The weather was perfect, the park grounds made for a great backdrop and Brandy and Andrew were delightful to be around. Best wishes to you both!
Fly Like an Eagle
About 10-15 photographers turned out Saturday for our Conowingo and Port Deposit (MD) PhotoWalk. A spectacular morning supplied the backdrops for our first stop at Conowingo Dam and then ending up across the Susquehanna for a quick walk thru Port Deposit.
> As always, the Bald Eagles were amazing to watch. I've been coming here for four years now and these majestic masters of flight never cease to captivate my attention. Although, I do not have a monster lens to capture them as close as I dream of, I love seeing the other photographers in action and their results.
---------------- About Delaware PhotoWalks
PhotoWalks take place on the second weekend of most months (weather permitting) ,at a different venue each month, somewhere in the local vicinity on either a Saturday morning or a Sunday afternoon. This a social networking group and there is NO cost associated with the events (unless we go somewhere where there's an admission fee or something similar).

Engagement Euphoria
Congratulations to a great couple, Marcy and Ron, on their recent engagement. I was honored to be asked to take some pictures for them, so we took advantage of the gorgeous weekend weather and headed out to Ashland Nature Center in Hockessin. Marcy is the beautiful daughter of good friends, Paul and Nancy Bargstadt.
P.S. Since we share many of the same readers, I purposely chose these shots as not to spoil the couple's excitement in posting their favorites on their own sites.

I have Lens Envy
Man, photographers can really make you feel inadequate! This was part of the scene yesterday when we went on a PhotoWalk to Conowingo, MD in search of bald eagles. Up and down photographer's row, every person you looked at, had a bigger lens than the person before. Geesh! It looked like the red zone at a professional football game.
So, like I admitted to my group, "Hi, my name is Larry. I have 150mm lens and I suffer from LE (lens envy)." I wonder if they have a little blue pill that will help with this???

Conowingo, the Eagle has Landed
After some time at the Dam, we're going to do a mini-walk through neighboring Port Deposit (MD). The architecture and stone walls of this river-side town are a photographer's dream.
I think we're going to have a great time. Won't you join us? Drop me an email for directions and timeframes.
P.S. December's PhotoWalk will be December 13th in Odessa DE.
The Power of a Smile
I was afforded a wonderful opportunity this morning. I was asked to do a PhotoWalk with the young adults of Christiana School District's Networks Career Training Program. With borrowed cameras in hand, a group of us ventured out on to the busy streets of Newark to photograph the city as it awakened under a beautiful sky.
Legend of the Swamp Monster
I know it's out there somewhere. Lurking in the ankle deep waters. Hiding behind a six inch tree trunk. It's creeping me out, people!
