Outtake: sign of a strong friendship
While I was testing my lights/figureing out which wrestling move to showcase, Bubba Mullens’s foot wound up in Mark Colabucci’s nostril. Mark was pissed. rightfully so. I was worried the mood on “set” was going to be testy and short. But these guys have wrestled and been friends for a long long time. Bubba — [...]

Creepy light test

A fox family member sits by the Owings Mills 7-Eleven it frequents on a regular basis 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 [...]

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 didn’t [...]

paw prints from three snows ago
“Neighbor Cats” paw prints, Thursday, December 31, 2009. As a rule I don’t like cats. …mostly because they make it hard for me to breathe. Admittedly, I enjoy watching cats from a far. And my favorite kind of cat is ferrel. They keep the mice away. We’ve got a family of 4-6 cats living in [...]
