I finally had some time to edit photos from a solid session at Truxton skatepark before the Covid-19 shutdown hit. Life seemed alot simpler; just friends hanging out and skating. I couldn’t skate due to a sprained foot so I decided to drop by and shoot some images with my recently acquired 85mm 1.8 lens. After the local skateparks were closed some skaters took a break while others took to the streets for the following weeks. As things currently reopen I hope we can safely return to enjoying the simple things life offers us. Heres to making memories with friends in person again.

I Do, on a Tuesday... /
This past week has been pretty hectic for me and I’m sure alot of you as well. Last Monday I sprained my foot skating and went into work on crutches Tuesday at Mid Atlantic Community Church. At our staff meeting we discussed the precautions and steps we were going to take with this Covid-19 virus that has been sweeping the nation.
We found out that our friend and coworker Chloe would have to postpone her wedding due to the mandated closures and number of people aloud to meet at that time (under 50). We were deeply saddened by the news and lifted her up in Prayer knowing that God’s timing and plan is perfect even when we don’t understand. Later Chloe mentioned in passing that Tom and her were going to get married THAT DAY in just a few hours time. I offered to shoot photos (since they didn’t have a photographer lined up with such short notice). I couldn’t imagine not having photographs to look back on from your own wedding so I went home and got my camera equipment ready for the shoot.
When I arrived back at MACC my fellow coworkers and friends had set up a small ceremony out front under the Cross on our church property. My fiance Ashley helped me with my camera bag since I was on crutches and we captured some detail/ setup shots while Chloe and Tom spoke with Lew about the ceremony that would be happening in 30 minutes. The day turned out to be fantastic with close friends and family there to support Chloe and Tom as they started their new life together. I am thankful that I was able to play a small part in such a wonderful day amidst all the craziness going on with our world.
H20i 2019 - (6 months late) /
One good thing about this COVID-19 virus pandemic is that I finally have some down time edit over due photos. Here is a look back to when things were simpler just a few months ago:
I took a trip down to Ocean City at the end of September on my Honda Grom. Leaving from Annapolis Maryland I filled up my 1 gallon tank and set off over the bay bridge. I ended up making it all the way to Ocean City on 1 tank (which means the bridge toll was more expensive than what it cost in gas to get there!)
The weekend was fantastic; from cruising the strip with other minibikes to seeing different builds and meets while enjoying the 80 degree weather so late in the year. I’m thankful for the new and old friends that I got to hangout with down there. Here are some images that I captured of the weekend.
