Jaunts to Ocean City
Ocean City is known for its summer crowds, but the boardwalk feels different when the seasons change. These images come from a few wanderings along the shore with a camera in hand during the slower times of the year.
Nearscape Photography: Thinking About Summer
In the middle of February, with snow still covering the ground, I find myself thinking about summer. A late July evening and a single Midnight Gold Petunia in my backyard become a reminder that beauty close to home is never truly out of season.

A foggy morning walk through Rocky Gap State Park, following the shoreline of Lake Habeeb as muted light, reflections, and calm water set the tone for the day ahead.
Nearscape Photography: Beneath the Street
A quiet street. A hidden stairwell. Beneath the streetlights of downtown Westminster, a forgotten space waits in shadow, where silence lingers and curiosity meets caution. Fitting for the season of shadows.
