this is the front and back of my favorite houses.

I have come to love these houses that are destined to be demolished, but this one in particular. these photos were taken a couple months apart.

EBDI is building a school in conjunction with Johns Hopkins. It is for the better, but I am going to be sad when this place goes. This house has already seen so much sadness but the saddest part is that damn turquoise porch. That turqoise color amongst so much fire damage, neglet, and at least 30 years of overgrowth just always gets me. At one time, that house was the happiest place you could be.

hopefully I catch its demolition!

But, if youre in the financial place- rehab, please. buy old and build green. I know where you can get $1,000 houses from the city! your $120k budget can build you a $200+k home… and rebuild a city, kinda.

this stylish kid wanted his photo taken, so i took it. sometimes i make friends and sometimes i don’t.

i hope i run into the awesome dude with kids at the nearby school again. He likes to tell me tons of stories and social history…unlike this dude in the white with duck feet.

that kid has more energy and charisma than i could handle.

I photographed an event for (ISC)squared.

I absolutely loved these people. kind hearts, good lookin’ uniforms (kinda… I’m a navy brat) and the good kind of cheese. And then, pride and dedication. I wish more people in uniform could smile.

Unfortunately I lost these files during my great technological failure of 2011… but, these were recovered..sorry for the size difference. I so wanted these to be a part of my “people in uniform cheesing hard” series.

besides the piles of crap that i love to photograph, i also do this: which is nothing
