10am Update: Al Paglione from EAW
Al Paglione takes reprise from cooking during the 2006 Eddie Adams Workshop to chomp on a Cuban cigar…This is Al Paglione. He and his son help cook at the Eddie Adams Workshop. Meeting him was pretty great! I was shooting him with my 17-55mm and he was totally jockin’ me about my zoom. He was [...]
10am Update: Sometimes you just gotta shoot it.
Saturday, September 26, 2009.
My assignment was to shoot the football game. But this kid was too cool to ignore.
The 10am Update is a regular feature showcasing some of the best images from my archive.
10am Update: Trees n’ feelings.
Jean Tansey stands amid a canopy of trees lining Sycamore Lane she maintains for the Cedacroft community. Her work has impressed the Baltimore Rec and Parks so much that they are using her program as a model.
When I was an intern I was a more anit-portrait than I am today. In fact I’m decidedly pro-portrait [...]

An ensemble of french horns and bassoons will be competing with jet engines at BWI and last minute shoppers at the Westminster Mall in the coming weeks.

I made these images back in 2004, when I was an intern at the Patuxent Publishing Co. I was filling up my car with gas after an assignment, and I looked over and saw a fox. I looked around to [...]
10am Update: Inclusion. …sorta.
CAPTION: Tri-legged “capture the pumpkin” teammates Nick Schoch, middle , 13, and Ben Stevick, 15, right, mingle with other classmate who wound up in “jail.” Ben, who has Downs Syndrome is able to play PE games and attend class with his peers because he has been included into normal 8th grade classroom settings at St. [...]
10am Update: Curtsy
The Catonsville Historical Society celebrated this year’s Founder’s Day by historically re-enacting Catonsville during the Civil War at the Townsend House Saturday September 25, 2004.
Back in September, 2004, when I shot this, I remember getting peeved at the little girl in the middle for breaking the third wall. All these perfect active layers were unfolding [...]
10am Update: Chimney Sweep
Quddus Snyder sweeps chimneys to pay his way through graduate school, exploiting the trade he learned from his father to persue a Ph.D in International Relations and Constitutional Law at the University of Maryland.
I shot this as an intern with the Patuxent Publishing Co. This was one of my first major attempts at location lighting. [...]
10am Update: The 2005 Presidential Inauguration
I guess you could say this was my first “important” assignment. The Howard County Times, being hyper-local, wasn’t interested in covering George W. Bush’s inauguration unless there was a local hook. So, I found some. …and what kind of photographer would I be if I didn’t look for non-assignment images? So, there are a few [...]
10am Update: The Lizard Guy
“This house is like Jerassic Park North,” kids Gordon Hyssong, a 65 year old self-proclaimed herpetologist who shares his Parkville home with almost 40 reptiles, a fish tank full of hissing cockroaches and an ornery parrot names Caesar.
This guy was intense! I met him back in November, 2004, while I was an intern at the [...]
10am Update: I heart snow.
This is from December, 2008. Jess drew the heart, and our upstairs neighbor’s dog, Josh, was looking to make some yellow snow.
I just got my new full-frame D700 and I was making as many night photos as possible. The drawback — which doesn’t really bother me in this image — is that all my wide [...]

As always, the 10am [...]
10am Update: Compassion for an Opponent

I love this photo. To this day I kick myself for not getting their names. The Milford Mills wrestler, foreground, is all tore up after losing the 160 weight match against the Hereford wrestler in the background. This is all taking place during the Baltimore County championship meet Saturday February 23, 2008 at Parkville High [...]
10am Update: Leaving Mom

(October 24, 2007) After we finished eating brunch at J. Christopher’s, I left for Baltimore. Grandmommy learned the virtue of not snapping into “pose mode” when I tried making a picture of her. Mom, cried. I knew she would. The day fit the mood. Georgia was going through a horrible drought, so the drizzle [...]

Here is a link to the Catonsville Times article. We also did a follow up [...]

They brandished fancy pistols to ward off thievery, and wore expensive hats to [...]
10am Update: Smoking from a Sprite Bottle

So… this is our China Bus Driver. He’s smoking “something” out of a Sprite bottle. Most of us on the bus think it’s pot. This other modern dancer we met at the bus stop, Andrea, worried it was opium. Maybe this guy just likes the way Sprite makes his tobacco taste. right? Well, we [...]
