You’d never finish anything if they keep calling it commencement. Just a thought.
Congratulations to all graduates today – including my daughter!
Life has no remote. Get up and change it yourself.
Normally you’d see all the parents gathered around taking their own pictures, but I wanted something different. It took me a while and it’s far from perfect. This was one of those projects where I did it just to see if I could.
I spent the last three mornings scouting out a shot I’ve wanted to get for some time. The flag was incredibly uncooperative the first day I arrived, which really ticked me off because I woke up at the butt-crack of dawn! I wasn’t initially going to go out again today because I thought I’d see the exact same thing. It’s typically not been very windy in the morning lately, but today I got the shot. Man, did I get the shot. If you’re into shooting sunrises, hitting the snooze button is not an option!

There’s only a couple mobile photography apps that I use regularly and they’re both Adobe. Photoshop Express for Mobile and Lightroom Mobile both accomplish the same things and I like what they can do with the mobile JPEG. Very once in a while, though, it’s fun to discover a new photo app that is just for fun. I’ve done this effect with my desktop applications and it’s quite a process so when I found a mobile app that produces pretty nearly the same result, I jumped. Tiny Planets – look it up. You’ll be hooked.

A new twist on the Apple Blossom carnival (ha, see what I did there?).
My daughter makes it known (daily) that she only has about a week left in school before she’s finished. She likes stating that she (as a senior) finishes before the rest of the school. That means I only have 8 more school days of taking her to school. I’ve been driving her to school for the past couple years. That’ll be weird to not have to do that anymore.
Hey, it’s an aerial shot of a school that’s not Handley! This is Blue Ridge Middle School in Purcellville, VA.
I think I’ve discovered a new, fun way for shooting fireworks. I was just going through my Apple Blossom images and stumbled upon this one – at first I thought it was no good, but I like it.
There’s definitely a dichotomy when it comes to Apple Blossom. I know people who avoid it like the plague and I also know people who go to every single event. Regardless of how you feel about it here’s a little aerial eye candy to start your week.

This was my 21st year of Apple Blossom Festivals. I realize that’s still fewer than a lot of people, but when you want to shoot unique images, it starts to get difficult. Every year I think to myself “self, there’s nothing new to shoot. You’ve seen it. Yep, that’s another fire truck.” But this year I got to see a different vantage point. Yep, you guessed it – here’s a bird’s-eye view of that same parade.
A fun new perspective on an annual event in Winchester, VA.
