Series 1, Race 3: Quite an exciting race. First of, it's been a fun day hanging out at the Eastport Yacht Club and watching the Blue Angels perform the "low" show. Took a few decent shots, despite overcast skies and lack of good light. The race itself was fantastic, great start, good wind, good tactics. Had a bit of a lazy sheet management issue an...

So with Mom here visiting from Germany and some crappy weather in the forecast, I suggested we pay a visit to the Udvar-Hazy Center (commonly known as the Smithsonian National Air And Space Museum) in Dulles, VA. I have been wanting to go here for quite some time, funny how it takes family or friends to finally visit "local" sights. This museum is...

I don't shoot weddings, so there you have it.... However, that all changed when my little sister indicated that a hawk would be the ring bearer! "Ok, I will take some pictures of the ceremony!" Beautiful sunny day, a very nice ceremony witnessed by family and friends. The Harris Hawk did bring in the rings, that was neat. After the ceremony we had...

Members of the Maryland chapter of the Airheads Beemer Club put together a FANTASTIC Supertech 2.2 held at the Tuckahoe Steam & Gas Association facility, in Easton, MD in February 2017. Without the many folks that assisted from other airhead chapters (PA, NJ, CO, VA, ID, CA, NY) this event would not have been as much fun, or as successful. The weat...

All parts were painted some time ago by Bob Meier, with the pin striping having been done by Sweeney.
