I have a new photography friend.  One of my fiance's coworkers and I met up in Rittenhouse Square this morning to compare notes on digital photography.  These are some highlights from our adventure.

We visited our nation's capital last weekend, during the peak weekend for viewing (and photographing) the cherry blossoms.  I took 150 photos - these were some of the best.

Some friends and I took a weekend trip to Chicago, where, thanks to excellent weather, I was able to get some pretty great shots.

The weather on President's Day was just too nice to stay indoors - so I grabbed my camera and took a four and a half hour walk through Boston.

Enjoy!

I took a trip to the Mid-Atlantic state of Virginia this weekend to see and old friend (and get a break from the weather in the Northeast). I captured several shots during our trip to Baltimore's Inner Harbor.

These shots weren't the right size for the gallery:

During a business trip to San Francisco (which was also my first trip ever to the west coast), my uncle took me on a day trip through Marin County. We ended up in Inverness, a very aptly named town with rolling hills covered in lush green grass.

We arrived at Kehoe Beach just as the sun broke through the clouds on an otherwise dreary rainy April day.

On a dreary, dismal day in October, some friends and I took a trip to Rockport, MA. Lots of great shots that day, but the boats were among my favorites.
