White Stuff

Snow. I live in Maryland. We get a good two-foot snow once every seven-to-ten years. That's the rule. It's only February 12th, and we've had a two, a two-and-a half and a one-and-a-half. Not funny. It's fun and a challenge to shoot, but I'm a tropical guy, so my patience is limited. But you snow-lovers out there - enjoy the few good shots I have. Above is the January storm of 1996, Frederick, MD.

Sad, Cold Lantern - Germantown, MD - 2/14/07.

Westbound Q139 at Washington Grove, MD on 1/27/09.

Tankers In The Snow - Washington Grove, MD - 1/27/09.

Foo Dog Not Amused - Germantown, MD - 12/19/09.

Foo Dog Even Less Amused - Germantown, MD - 2/6/10. (by the way - this little guy is under a porch roof - these storms were beyond ridiculous)

Okay, kind of a throwaway shot, but that's close to three feet of snow on my shed. DC Metro simply does NOT get snow like this. 2/6/10.

Snowy Window - Germantown, MD - 2/10/10.

Storm Door Snowed Shut - Germantown, MD - 2/10/10.

Our new lamp post, installed days before the 2/6/10 blizzard. I'll bet it's none too amused, either.

Okay. There. I got through it. On to warmer topics soon. Stay warm!

Closer To Home

Okay gang. Short and sweet. Here are a few more images of the places I've called home. Leading off is a time-lapse shot of Rockville Pike in front of Wintergreen Plaza in Rockville, MD from December 1992.

Front porch view - Christmas, 1989.

Two feet of snow - very rare in Rockville! February 1983.

Also rare - this aerial view of our house (the one with the tan roof), courtesy of my friend the pilot - 1986.

Long nighttime B&W of the old jungle gym at Rock Creek Valley Elementary School - Rockville, MD - 1987. Nearly froze my feet right off, walking around the neighborhood in the snow half the night!

Here's what my alma mater Rockville High School looked like from the air in December of 1986. It has since been renovated so extensively that almost nothing from the structure above survives, except for the theater building at the far left. You really can't go back, I guess. Not that I'd want to, but still. Ch-ch-ch-changes...

Um, self-portrait. Germantown, MD - 1995.

THREE feet of snow! Enough for legitimate drifts! Frederick, MD - January, 1996.

Join me next time for whatever it is I find myself in the mood for - providing, of course, that whatever that turns out to be has already been scanned.
