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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

This storm has been brewing for a long time. Go Terps, now takes on a new meaning. As I write this blog the discussions swirling around the University of Maryland’s Board of Regents pending decision to join the Big Ten (B10) rivals a summer thunderstorm. Lot’s of gathering gray clouds, winds, lightening and yes raindrop […]

The challenge winner is …… Quince Orchard. If you have been following this blog – you know by now that I have been running a fantasy high school football league – called Mythical Match-UP Challenge (MMU) since early September. The MMU uses offensive and defensive statistics – readily found – as published on WaPo’s – […]
