Annapolis makes a nice day trip from DC. There aren’t as many really great restaurants like in Baltimore, but there are some fun antique shops and there’s always something interesting on the waterfront.

Snowy trees by me
Taken in Sterling, Alaska during an ill-advised winter trip back to Alaska in 2003, probably the trip where I vowed to never visit between October and March.

Honda Rebel
Honda Rebel by me
Meet my little motorcycle, parked somewhere in Rock Creek Park. The Rebel is a bit small for me – I end up sitting way back on the seat – but it gets great gas mileage and is very fun to ride.

Grapes near Beilstein
I took this above Beilstein along the Mosel River in Germany on our wedding road trip vacation from Lyon to Geilenkirchen.

WaMu Tower
WaMu Tower by me
This is a photo of the Washington Mutual Tower in Seattle from when I first got my Rebel XT and still had Canon’s bargain-priced 50/1.8 lens. It’s a nice lens, lightweight and very sharp. The big drawbacks for me were plastic construction, the loud AF motor, and the very loose-feeling manual focus ring. Still, I think it’s a far better choice for a first lens than the standard kit lens – it’s great for low-light photography and consistently makes nice portraits. Since I didn’t like or use the AF much I sold it and got a couple of old manual screw-mount 50mm lenses instead.
