Yes, I am back – it’s that time of year again – the weather is cooperating and my bike is in tune. I kicked off the summer cycling tour with a quaint ride last Sunday around Baltimore City, called Tour Dem Parks Hon! The ride is put on by the Department of Recreation and benefits [...]

The Postal Blue Train Years – 1999 to 2003
Sports broadcaster Phil Liggett is perhaps best known as having “the voice” in cycling. He has covered the Tour de France (TDF) and cycling since the mid 1970’s. The American audience knows him best by his coverage of Lance Armstrong’s cycling career. To me, Liggett has that uncanny ability to heighten the excitement of a [...]
Beak In A Box
This is second in a series called “Not Rain, Sleet, Snow, nor Floyd or Lance’s Yellow” about the Postal Service sponsorship of its ProCycling Team. In a strange way it started out on July 6, 1992 when “Carvin” Marvin Runyon was appointed the 70th Postmaster General. Runyon, the former Ford Motor Company and Nissan engineering [...]
Not Rain, Sleet, Snow Nor Floyd or Lance’s Yellow
I am a casual observer. As a photographer I get to see both private and public moments. Sometimes in a course of a career you come by a certain combination of events that provides you a unique perspective because you’ve been closer to it, kept an eye on it, from the inside. Career paths transition, [...]
The Mo-Yoke and Three Chefs
Boy, are the folks at MCM giving me the mo-yoke (my Grandma Bosco’s – evil eye). It seems that I have not blogged for a while. Well, I was busy. How busy you ask (sounding like the GEICO commercial guitar picker)? I was busier than all the sous chefs at Jaleo, Chef Geoff’s or the [...]
First Day Sights of New Congress
So much of our local news and daily work life is here within the DC Metro area and as a result it defines us and our region. Here are but a few photos of the new Congress who met Jan. 3 for swearing in ceremonies. Perhaps the most emotional moments were seen on the Senate [...]
Days Gone By (Photos)
Should old acquaintances be forgot and never brought to mind? So asked Scottish poet Robert Burns in the first line of his composition Auld Lang Syne. This year, my reaction to that question follows in a collection of photos I used in 2012 with a back story to each photo. First up – The Agony. [...]
And Who Protects Them? (Photos)
Days become a blur – especially when I disconnect from my electronic dog collar that is my smartphone. Freelancing as I do, photographic shoots (jobs) are varied and come up unexpectedly requiring multiple bookings to hustle to and from and in those vary rare occasions – an event that is actually planned for weeks ahead [...]
Ode to an Old Bag (Photos)
I really can’t say how old. In the terms of longevity – the old bag is up there. I will miss her slim dark features and casual weighted feel upon my shoulder. She easily flipped open to expose all. I could quickly grab her anytime and off we’d go. And the way that old bag [...]
Building a Lasting Legacy (Photos)
I started out driving for Baltimore’s M&T Bank Stadium around 4:30 last Friday evening. I felt like I was the last one to leave town. Families, students, neighbors, even my cycling dad friends were all on their way to Lot A at the stadium to tailgate, I was headed for the Press Box. Most were [...]
