On this #tagTuesday, a few of my favs from my #Baltimore zone. First up in the men's room at Peabody Heights. Honestly, I've never felt much urge to express my activism via #taging. But the juxtaposition of ethical statements written in antisocial media intrigues. #photography #graffiti #trans

I know everyone’s been busy with the crises manufactured by Trump right after the Epstein files started rolling out, but what’s going on with the Epstein files? #Minnesota #Venezuela #Greenland #ICE #resist

Make ready! The snow is coming at least as far south as #DC. #photography #longexposure #snow #BlueSkyArtShow #cold #eastcoastkin

Name change! Decided to set the zoom lens joke aside and go by my actual name. This is still me tho. Hopefully I won’t lose any of the 71 of you who follow me on here. And maybe more people into #photography #surrealism #art #infrared and #Baltimore will join us

Up close and spiky with the cactus at the Rawlings conservatory in #Baltimore #thornyThursday #plants #cactus #photography #texture #closeup

#Sunset behind the BromoSeltzer tower in #Baltimore. Mostly #photography is my game, but here the snakelike motion of the cars seemed better conveyed via #video. (Plus I just got this camera, an M50, and it’s supposed to be a sleeper of a video beast) #cityscape #urban

Is it too #Baltimore to notice that Thriller is trying some new techniques? #tagTuesday #photography

Dipping my toes in #video during a visit to the National #Aquarium in #Baltimore. #fish #relax #dark #calm

#Digital #art people: How do I replicate this find edges effect in #Photoshop? The screenshots are from Lightroom, it shows when you hold down "alt" and adjust the masking slider in the sharpening tool. The find edges thing in Ps doesn't seem to have any adjustments that get me there. Ideas? #advice

In a meta mood: please enjoy these photos of people enjoying #photography. From an exhibit opening at the Peale Museum in #Baltimore. #art #people #urban Bonus shot of a cool adjacent alley.

I’m not a #bird expert, but this #one was posing for me before a bleak New England winter #sky. Flowery words aside, what kind of bird is that? Sincere question. #blueSkyArtShow #photography #winter #wildlife #tree #ornithology

Out late in #Baltimore, I stopped for #one more on my scoot home from Pigtown. The taste was lovely, the staff were warm, and the photo came out good. My head in the morning was less pleased. #BlueSkyArtShow #noRegrets #noEgrets #photography #cocktail #fancy

Alleys and trains, two views of 26th street in #Baltimore. #photography #street #urban #infrastructure #soggy

They tell you to network at conferences. Me being chatty at a bioeconomy meeting in DC yielded a tip that the #tulips would be in #vibrant bloom during a work trip a few months later to #Amsterdam. #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #nature #farming #travel #Netherlands

Copenhagen’s Meatpacking District transformed from an industrial zone into a lively mixed-use neighborhood, its walkable streets both #vibrant and peaceful. #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #urban #Denmark #streetscape

Sometimes a bridge is so good that everyone wants to cross it even if they don’t have any good reason to be on the other side. Patapsco State Park, Maryland. #bridge #photography #art #bandW #infrastructure #Baltimore

Old school tagging. How bad is this actually for the tree? #tagtuesday #tree #hike #photography

We are proud to announce the formation of the Chemical & Engineering News Guild. We represent staffers across the editorial and operations teams at C&EN. 1/6

This photo keeps making me laugh. The context is that I'm still learning how to use #flash and I was trying out a technique while photographing this cleantech event as a volunteer. Poor Doug on the left there caught the brunt :) Here's to trying more new things in 2026! #photography #learning

At the end of a difficult year, it was good to see some of the most hopeful people I know. Or maybe they're people that make me feel hopeful, and I hope to do the same for them. #BlueSkyArtShow #NewYear #photography #blackAndWhite shot on an #infrared camera with no filter in #Baltimore

New Years Eve above #Baltimore, the lights on 34th St lent a warm glow to low clouds, pushing the perceived color of the sky to a richer blue. With no filter, my #infrared camera revealed a rainbow of refraction around the moon not visible to the naked eye. #sky #EastCoastKin #moon #photography

I feel very strongly that Baltimore might be the best place on earth.

In what is becoming an annual tradition, few people at this party believe me that #acorns make for delicious baked goods. #forage #foraging #food #potluck

It's hard to beat the elegance of chrome. #photography #aviation #machines #artsky #history #blackAndWhite #industry

The #Christmas pageant is growing on me among #holiday traditions. #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #GoldandRed #Baltimore

Admittedly, commenting more on others' posts started as an influencer-recommended audience-building strategy. But it's resurfaced something pleasant and profound: It feels good to write nice little notes to people—to stop for a minute, think about someone else or their work, and build them up a bit.

Good science, infrastructure, or engineering museums are one of the better indicators of a classy city worth visiting. And #Baltimore does not disappoint. #BlueSkyArtShow #OpenHouse #BlackAndWhite #photography #dramatic #grunge #industry #sculpture

The Orioles are renovating the scoreboard and this walk past starts off as an art photo I'm legit proud of, widens to context, then setting, then I got distracted by how juicy the booty on this statue is in this light. #BlueSkyArtShow #OpenHouse #baseball @orioles.com

Just thought y'all might like some animal photos this morning #squirrel #rat #turtle #chinchilla #photography #animals #furryFriday

Brb gotta learn how to pronounce this and then find excuses to use it in a sentence

It's been a joy to watch the Braille periodic table project evolve. I'm just an observer and fan, but this artifact may nonetheless be one of my #FavoriteThings #photography #science #accessibility #BlueSkyArtShow

Is it bad that this photo came to mind first when brainstorming for the #FavoriteThings prompt for #BlueSkyArtShow? Captured at a small concert at a bookstore in #Baltimore #photography #beer #music

Here, I thought you might like something stupid. #spoon #tism #council

Anyone for a slightly soggy hike on a beautiful #winter day? (Soldier's Delight, northwest of #Baltimore) #photography #nature #landscape #serpentine

For the end of the day, #sunset #skies, naturally. Ignore the haters, #Baltimore, you're a beautiful city. #photography #BlueSkyArtShow

Tomato #skies and cornflower vegetation are the results straight out of the camera in #infrared #photography with a 720nm filter. Here are views from Brooklyn and Elk Neck, #Maryland. #BlueSkyArtShow

Dramatic night #skies in Delaware, Maryland, and New Hampshire. I got eaten alive by some biting insects to get the long-exposure #lightning photo. #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #travel #landscape #clouds

Autumn changes to winter and this jack-o-lantern is ready to retire. #photography #texture #holidays #seasons #rot #pumpkin

Got some holiday shopping done today at the Ottobar and Peabody Heights in #Baltimore. In the latter, I also played with a few creative lens filters. This one gives a miniature look

. @lokihighlock.bsky.social I found this shot among some of my night shots recently and thought of your work. Not quite as dramatic as yours :)

Hard to beat the #warmth of a sunset, even on chilly days. Here's two from #Amsterdam and two from #Baltimore. #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #travel

The flame dancers appeared with no fanfare, as if lured from the forest by the #warmth of the bonfire. An assortment of neighbors, strangers, and friends all stopped to watch their torches flicker, turn, and fly. #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #fire #Baltimore #night

#Small biodegradable ampules filled with vitamin C serum. Break off the bottom nub and apply. Some say this kind of form factor is trending in personal care; I'm not sure the waste/product ratio will feel right for the target market even if it does break down in nature. #BlueSkyArtShow #macro

It's dangerous to go alone! Take this #small #lizard. #BlueSkyArtShow #animals #photography

He looks so #small and we aren't even off the ground yet. #blueskyartshow #photography #travel

#Baltimore gets a bad rap, but it's got a lot of gniess parts

#Bratislava: It seems I've talked my way into visiting in the spring. Who's got photo/adventure/boondoggle ideas? #photography

I posted about this recently, but it turns out that cloudy but #bright days are great for #infrared #photography. The greenery pops without the glare that sunny days often give. Makes me want to experiment more with polarizer filters on sunny days. #BlueSkyArtShow #surrealism #Pittsburgh #waterfront
