This is Mabry Mill just south of Roanoke on the Blue Ridge Parkway. I took this late last summer. Lori and Rachel were out of town visiting family, and I went for a drive on the parkway (Something we used to do all the time before I got into photography. I wish I would have gotten in to it sooner. I remember all the places we went, but didn't think to take pictures.)

I almost didn't go out that day because it was raining, but I decided to suck it up and just go. I'm glad I did because for whatever reason this image is one of my favorite landscapes I've shot up to this point. The rain actually made the scene better in my opinion. You can't really tell it is raining in the photo, but the scene is more saturated because everything is wet.

You don't see many buildings being built like this one anymore. I wonder how long it took to design and build the columns and the trim work. I would have loved to get a shot of this at night with the street lights on.

I believe this may have been a post office building, but I am not entirely sure. I shot this last summer in Norfolk, Virginia.

Some shots from a trip to Virginia Tech a few weeks ago. Both shots were at the Inn at VA Tech where we were staying. Yes, I know the title is very cheesy (you might say "hokie"), but I couldn't think of anything else.

Some apartments (I believe) in downtown Norfolk, Virginia.

ISO 100 50mm f5/6 1/80th sec.

A shot from vacation a couple of months ago. This door was at the Amphitheater at Arlington Cemetery.

This year we decided to go to Washington DC for one last vacation before the baby came. I will be posting photos from vacation over the next few days. This was one of the first shots I got. The last time I was in DC, you couldn't get this close to the White House. This was shot between the bars at the end of the lawn.

This one's from a few months back. It was taken in Lancaster, South Carolina while I was down there for a wedding.

This shot was taken in downtown Fincastle, Virginia in Botetourt County. History Fact- I went in the town museum while there today and learned that Botetourt County once (1770's) went all the way to the Mississippi River.

This is Greene Memorial United Methodist Church in downtown Roanoke (taken a few months back).
