Mother’s Day in MD

Personal

I spent last weekend with my mom for mother’s day and thought I’d share some pictures from my time there. She lives in historic little Berlin, Maryland which is right outside of Ocean City, MD.

My mom has quite a green thumb and spends all of her free time in her glorious garden. She can tell you all about everything in there too. And it’s this ever changing thing – she is constantly replanting this and that. She tells me it’s already changed since I took these pics. Take a look…







We went into OC for a day to check out Springfest and the boardwalk. I was a complete glutton, eating my way through boardwalk fries with vinegar, ice cream, and an apple pie caramel apple. Ah, beach food…







It’s pretty awesome to have a mom who lives at the beach. I’ve been so far away the past few years that I haven’t been able to make good use of it. But you’d better believe that I’ll be there a lot more this summer now that I’m on the east coast!

“More than any other, this boardwalk brings back that exhilarating teenage sense of summer-vacation freedom and possibility. Throbbing with energy day and night, fueled by Thrasher’s fries soaked in vinegar (a true delicacy), the ‘walk’ features cool reversible benches that flip back and forth, depending on whether you want to gaze at the Atlantic Ocean or the passing parade along the boardwalk itself.”

Fathers
About this time last year I learned how to develop film and print my own images in the darkroom. I wanted to give my first finished picture to my dad for his birthday on June 23rd. I agonized over which image to choose. I finally decided on this iris and spent weeks perfecting my chemical baths, lights, and dodging and burning to create a portrait I was proud to give him.He was the one who gave me my first camera and encouraged my love of photography. He has been proud of me every step of the way through all trials and tribulations.I have just experienced my first Father's Day without my father. He passed away July 7th, 2006 from lung can ...

RARE Behind the Scenes Pictures of Clinton and Trump
Considering the Republican Party candidate is a reality TV star and the Democratic candidate has been in the public eye for decades, it’s remarkable how little we know about who they really are.  That’s why it was so gratifying that Lindsay Docherty Photography was granted special access to the candidates while they did something unusual – spent the morning together.  Scroll down to see how well red and blue played with one another. The action between the camera takes is where the punches are thrown.  Trump berated Clinton for being a “Liar, liar, pants on fire!!” and insisted that he would put her in time out if elected.  Clinton held her ...

May Facebook Cover Images
She’s been around through some of the hardest and most spectacular times in my life. She has comforted me when I’ve cried and joined in on dance parties when I’ve celebrated. She has lived with me in 5 different states. She can be too smart for her own good. She is the best cuddler I know but has a problem with bed wetting. She loves to run but has no patience for my hobby of running just for the sake of it. She’s a great listener. She has a mouth on her, but only really in front of her friends. She thinks naps are just about the greatest things in the world. This superlative also extends to basking in the sun, unattended food, road ...
