Tacos for lunch on a Sunday afternoon

While on our way to a photo shoot and in search of a great fish taco, Britney and I decided to google, hold up get this.....the best place in baltimore to get a fish taco....A place named Tortilleria was at the top of the list and their food was pretty good. The scenery inside was quite inspiring as well. So much so that I decided to put the cell phone camera to use. I definitely recommend making a tirip to the Tortilleria.....definitely

The Sunday Drive

As I said before, the weekend that just past was pretty much spent driving around. Sunday though, on the idea of my cousin, we drove to Virginia's Skyline Drive. It was actually a short trip compared to the one we had taken the Saturday before. It just so happened that we got there as the sun was setting which made the ride well worth it. With these, i kinda realize that the lens i'm using now isn't as bad as I thought it was. It's actually great for taking pictures of landscapes. More so, it's wonderful for shots of the sky.

Just a while ago I had a conversation with person about my journey through the world of photography and he gave me his opinion. " Oh man! See, I like when somebody takes a picture and then adds some slick effect to it like a tint, fading grayscale, or some kind of mirror image." He asked me, " What kind of hues or tints and effects do you use in your pictures?" And my response was what you might expect it to be....Why? I mean why use anything artificial to change a naturally beautiful image? As you can see below, I cant make the world appear any more interesting than it already is and honestly, I wouldn't want to. It would be too much work. Everybody should live in the real world.

 

Taken with no flash using the natrual light. Kinda cool. You can actually see the sunlight outlining their bodies.

Maryland's Western Expanse

Took a long ride this past Saturday and this was the part of outcome.I do have to note that I didn't take thes pictures in this post. I was driving so I had Britney play photographer for the day. She didn't want to do it at first but her pictures turned out pretty well.

In the post before I mentioned how a picture can take you away if only for a second. Over the past couple of weeks I've been reading William Wordsworth in my British Lit class. Just to keep it simple for people who may not care to know exactly who he was, he was big a poet/writer of the British Roimantic period. I bring him up here because we discussed his idea that, "poetry is the spontaneous overflow of emotion" and for him these emotions were recollected in poetry. In his poem about Tintern Abbey he recalled a hill that overlooked a town and to him the scene was completly beaurtiful. He thinks of the same place when he is back in the city and it calms him...If any picture I post here has the ability to make a person escape where they are if only for a moment, then maybe this is all worth doing.
