Seeing the world through my viewfinder.
You will have noticed the photo post from earlier today — a rare bird these days, as a.) I haven’t been photographing much lately, and b.) I’m not particularly smitten by much of my photography… enough to post it here, anyway.
So, how did it come to be that I waited nine months to get this particular roll developed? Well, I’ll tell you…

I received a message on Flickr today, from an Alexandra Moss at schmap.com. It seems that these two photos are to be included in the second edition of an electronic guide to Baltimore — with my permission, of course.
How neat!
It somehow validates my meager talent and boosts my self-esteem when I get non-solicited praise on my photography. I forget sometimes that I really am OK.
Incidentally, these Schmap Guides seem to be pretty cool. If I could put one of these on my Palm IIIc, or even an iPod Photo, that would really be the bee’s knees.
