Juggler of Inner Harbor

March 12, 2014 by Tricia Booker Photography

We enjoyed a cool street performer during our visit to Baltimore’s Inner Harbor in Maryland last weekend. We watched Evan Young’s “Comedy Juggling” show where he exhibited amazing feats of balance and juggling while also entertaining the crowd with jokes and skits. Here, during his grand finale, he stands precariously on skateboards, plastic cups and a pipe while juggling a bowling ball, knife and flaming torch. Really. I’ve watched street performers in a variety of cities throughout the world, and I […]

In My Yard

March 4, 2014 by Tricia Booker Photography

Today the yard was busy with visitors searching for a morning meal. The birds had an easier time than the deer, however, as their breakfast was provided in exchange for a few photos. The deer browsed on the tender tips of some new growth in the front yard, but they didn’t remain long. Their tracks meandered through the new-fallen snow as they traversed the property, checking out the woodpile as well as the remaining dry grass underneath the decks. The […]

Garden View

February 25, 2014 by Tricia Booker Photography

I finally finished up some pressing deadlines and then had time to spend on continuing education. Last month, I’d purchased the Five Day Photography Deal that was offered with a collection of tutorials, e-books and plug-ins, and I hadn’t really had time to fully explore it. So, I spent a few hours over the weekend learning more about Lightroom thanks to Serge Ramelli. His videos were super helpful, and I particularly enjoyed watching his techniques in transforming color images to […]

Fishing in Florida

February 12, 2014 by Tricia Booker Photography

So, I should be in Florida today, but thanks to winter storm “Pax” I’m stuck in Virginia awaiting 12+ inches of snow to fall tonight and tomorrow. It’s the second consecutive business trip this winter that’s been disrupted by snow and ice, and I’m particularly disappointed because I will miss photographing the resident birds that make this horse show double the fun. As I awaited the first flakes to fall, charged all of my batteries in case of a power […]

Erupt

February 7, 2014 by Tricia Booker Photography

Last weekend we managed to get out during a break in the weather to hike in West Virginia. We traveled to the Berkeley Springs area and enjoyed a few hours at Cacapon State Park on the trails as well as a stroll through the artsy downtown. Berkeley Springs is home to the country’s first spa, and the mineral springs are still a popular place. In fact, as I shot the image above, a man was in the adjacent pool taking […]

Docking Only

February 1, 2014 by Tricia Booker Photography

Here’s something a little different for the A-Z Challenge this week, which is Tagged D. Last year I went on the Blueridge Photography Workshops Single Focal Length Workshop in Annapolis, Maryland, and had a great time. This year’s workshop is scheduled for April 19, and I hope to join them again. If you live within driving distance of Annapolis, it’s worth the early morning wake-up call to get out and see the sunrise over this beautiful city. I revisited some […]

Bird In Flight

January 15, 2014 by Tricia Booker Photography

The birds have been out in full force over the past few weeks, with cardinals, sparrows, finches, wrens and woodpeckers regularly visiting my feeders. One of my favorite birds to watch are the Dark-Eyed Juncos, who hang out in the yard over the winter months. They travel in small flocks, and they’re often the first ones up in the morning and the last to leave, taking care of the groundwork and cleaning up the spilled seeds in the yard. Sometimes, […]
