EVENTS! Baltimore Taxidermy Open at the Walters Art Museum

I actually had this event on my calendar to attend when I got the call to photograph it. Um, yeah, I'm there. It was as weird as I hoped it would be.

TRAVEL! Murals of Venice

I travel to the west coast quite often. I have family in Venice, California and feel amazingly privileged to vacation in such a picturesque locale. I have always wanted to roam around and photograph all the amazing murals along the beach from Venice to Santa Monica. I took a day to wander around with my camera capturing as much as I could quickly realizing that it could not be accomplished in just one day. There is art at every turn, down alleys, on garage doors, filling walls and patios and doorways. Whole sides of houses have bee covered in art no matter where you walk throughout the city. I made a mental note everywhere I drove or walked to return and explore different neighborhoods. Hopefully I'll be back this summer for more art adventures.

EVENTS! PLAZA by Scott Pennington at Light City Baltimore

I've had Light City on my calendar for months.  I didn't quite know what to expect of this inaugural event and I wasn't even sure what it was all about. As the date grew closer I read everything I could about the artists installations, scheduled events and themes to be explored during the week long exposition. That's when I discovered my college friend, Scott, was creating a display outside of the World Trade Center entitled PLAZA. I have always been a fan of his work regularly featured at Art Scape and the Transmodern Art Festival. Of course, I was going to stop by and explore his latest creation. When I finally made my way through the crowds of onlookers and participants I was blown away. It was everything I'd hoped for an more. Colors, lights, large constructions that glowed and blinked and mesmerized viewers. 3500 lightbulbs lit several freestanding structures as people wander around, under and through arches, chevrons and arrows.  I could have spent hours gazing upon this ever changing landscape. I ran into Scott as I was admiring his workmanship and he asked if I could return to take detailed photographs of his work. Of course! I dare you not to be enthralled by the amazing colors and compositions.

WEDDINGS! Kaci & Adam at the Baltimore Museum of Industry

I've been anticipating this wedding all year and it was everything I hoped it would be. This sneak peek is only a fraction of the awesomeness that was Kaci and Adam's wedding.  I can't wait to dive into their images and see what other gems I can find.
