I went to the Military Bowl at Navy Marine Corps Memorial Stadium on Friday to watch Maryland play Marshall. Here’s how the fun began.

The Washington Post Printing Press
Today I went to see The Washington Post’s printing press in Springfield, VA.

Taking photos like these teaches me more about how to use a camera than the subject itself. What I really learned was that I need a tripod, a better camera, and a better lens, and far more practice. But this is the best I could get using a Canon T3, shooting at f/16 and s/s 1/200, with a EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens. Here’s the site I used for advice.
Abandoned 94th Aero Squadron Restaurant – College Park
I was a bit shocked to learn that the 94th Aero Squadron Restaurant in College Park, Md. was closed down. I’ve only eaten there once but I always thought it was an awesome place, considering you can walk around Lake Artemesia to get there. The worst part was that the airplanes were gone.
For some reason, abandoned buildings fascinate me as nature takes over and destroys the place (of course, this building was originally designed to look old to begin with). Here are a few photos I got without trespassing inside.
And here are a few photos from 2007:

Rally for Sanity
As usual when I go to Washington DC for a big event, it was a pain. Way too many people, didn’t even come close to getting a clear view of the main event and had a hard time getting out. But unlike just about every event I ever went to down there, the photos came out very well.
