May is National Photo Month

Today is the right day to get your camera out and start taking pictures. Whether you're a novice or a pro, there is nothing more gratifying than a shared photo that brings a smile to another's face.

Do not let anything stand in your way!

Ask away ...

Q: Hi Larry, welcome to Askablogr (and love the DC photo looking up at the flags)! Do you shoot for fun or is it your profession (not that those are mutually exclusive...)?

Asked by Chris DeVore

A: More for fun, but always grateful when a paying job comes along.

Ask Larry a question.

Beep! Beep!

Cars have always intrigued and fascinated me and when I spotted my first car show of this year, I had no choice but to stop and take some pics. Just something about the shiny paint jobs, the raised hoods, all that horsepower under the hood .... grunt, grunt, grunt! Bring on the summer, baby!

Azalea Euphoria

If you're in the neighborhood of Odessa, Delaware, this time of the year make plans to visit the corner home of Jerry and Helen Unruh. They have turned their yard into an azalea oasis with some 1,600 bushes adorning their property. They are extremely courteous and very open to visitors walking through their magical homestead. Truly a sight to see.
