Flowers in focus at the Howard Peters Rawlings Conservatory
The Howard Peters Rawlings Conservatory & Botanic Gardens, completed in 1888, has been opened to the public for 127 years. Located in Baltimore’s Druid Hill Park, it is the second oldest glass conservatory in America.
Originally The Baltimore Conservatory, it was renamed in 2004 after an extensive renovation funded by the state, Baltimore City, the Baltimore Conservatory Association and city residents. The conservatory is operated and maintained by city workers and a group of dedicated volunteers.
The USA Warriors ice hockey team
The USA Warrior Ice Hockey program was founded as a non-profit. Their mission, according to their website, is to organize and administer an ice hockey program in conjunction with the USA Hockey Disabled Hockey Program, to provide recreational, therapeutic experience and education for veterans wounded in defense of the country. The teams, consisting of the standing Warriors and the sled Warriors, practice in Rockville, MD. Recently the USA Warriors standing team played against the APG-Blast in a charity ice hockey game to raise money for the St. Elizabeth School for Special Needs students located in Baltimore City.
Orioles 2015 season up close and personal
As the Orioles’ 2015 season comes to a close and a play-off appearance seemingly remote, I started to look for something different during the games. I was looking for interesting pictures that show the traditions of the game, like players chewing bubble gum, fans seeking autographs or a batter get thrown at after a home run. I also photographed tight close-ups of mitts used by last season’s Rawlings Gold Glove award winners that have gold labels, and how the home team grounds crews always smooth the infield on the top of the inning when the Orioles are on the field. There are images that show that fraction of a second that is invisible in real time, like a bat breaking on impact with a pitch, a runner avoiding a tag or beating a throw to reach base.
Chinese New Year at the Walters Art Museum
2015 Chinese New Years celebrates the Year of the Sheep. This past Sunday the Johns Hopkins University Yong Han Lion Dance Troupe paid tribute to the event at the Walters Art Museum in Mount Vernon. They donned paper maché Southern style lion heads and thrilled their audience as they juked and jumped and brought the costumes to life as they danced to warn off bad spirits. There were several dance demonstrations from the Baltimore Chinese School from the cultural dance group and the school’s ballet class.
