Nearscape Photography: Afternoon at the Bowling Alley
While photographing a child's birthday party at a local bowling alley, I found myself wandering between moments. What caught my attention wasn't the party itself, but the details most people probably never noticed.
Nearscape Photography: Barn Hardware
During a walk through the narrow alleys and back ways of Westminster's western historic district, old barn hardware became the subject of an unexpected photographic study. Handles, tracks, latches, and mounting hardware reveal how these structures once functioned and continue to tell part of their story.
Oriole Park at Camden Yards: The Vendors
The voices of the vendors at Oriole Park at Camden Yards are as much a part of baseball as the game itself. These candid photographs capture the energy, movement, and personality of the men and women working the stands throughout the season.
