This Week In Film……

June 3, 2013 by fstopfun


Downtown Baltimore has been a great place to walk around and shoot photos this last week. The new pre-summer season is in full swing so tourists and walkers are taking to the street stretching their legs. As for me, I try to get out every chance I get! I never know when a cool photo opp will present itself. : ) I also photographed a friend’s wedding and took some Hipstamatic shots in between my shooting with my professional camera.

My camera has been on vacation : )

November 27, 2012 by fstopfun


I think being an artist is sometimes all or nothing. When I design graphics I always feel as if I am solving a problem. Finding a new way to publish a message or invoke a new feeling about something. I wish I could do that with my fine art like paintings, photography or poetry. Lately I think I need an adventure to revive my passion for photography. What do you do when you need to recharge your passion for fine art?

How long is 4 seconds?

September 26, 2012 by fstopfun


This summer I photographed more people then I typically do. I got used to telling people to meet me around 6:30. A few days ago I told my friend just that, so when we met I was shocked that in fall the days start getting shorter. Opps! So my shoot didn’t go well but I wanted to at least get a few pictures. I loathed the idea of coming back with nothing. It was well past sunset into the twilight time of […]

Artists are free to become stale and ineffective.

September 26, 2012 by fstopfun


I learned photography in high-school continued in college and then I graduated and of course I knew everything…. (or so I thought). A few years later I found my skills stagnant, my photographs were boring, and my desire to photograph was fleeting. I would see other artists works and be blown away! I remember attending a few different art openings of friends I graduated with and having the realization that I was obsolete, my friends have passed me by because they pushed themselves to continue […]

The Smoke of Anxiety

September 19, 2012 by fstopfun


Here is a bit of personal information. I suffer from anxiety : ( Panic attacks suck! i took these images last night but looking at them they really remind me of how when you are having an anxiety attack your joy seems drift away like in a puff of smoke. *on a side note one bible verse that helps me is 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love […]

Shooting a dancer in broad daylight : )

September 6, 2012 by fstopfun


Good title huh? On Labor Day I had the pleasure of photographing an awesome dancer from Baltimore. It was a unique experience. The movement was fast and most of the time I said a prayer as I pressed the shutter. All in all I can’t wait to do it again!

Yesterdays Photo-shoot

September 1, 2012 by fstopfun


Love is a funny thing. Last night I had the pleasure of photographing a couple from my church. Photographers say the golden hour is the best time to shoot. I have to agree : ) Everything is so warm and rich. Times like these I am so thankful I have a collapsible white balance card. Here are a few of the pictures I took.

A Day Is The Life of Charlie O’Malley by Rob Mahan

September 1, 2012 by fstopfun

A Day Is The Life of Charlie O’Malley   by Rob Mahan Copyright © 2009 Roger O’Malley woke with a start as the old family clock in the dining room chimed six in the morning.

Over 200,000 photographs. What did I learn?

August 31, 2012 by fstopfun


  Looking back this morning I couldn’t help but think of how much I have learned about photography over the years. I would say the majority of photographs I have taken are really snapshots masquerading as photographs. : ) Many professional photographers say your first 10,000 images are worthless…. to a point I have to agree. When I looked at my old camera I learned that I have taken over 150,000 images with just that camera! So I estimate that I have probably taken over 200,000 […]
