Grace
Last month my Brother and his wife gave birth to their first child. I say “they” but she’s the one who endured the 22 hour labor. Ouch.
Every child is different, but as a parent it can be difficult to not try and share your own experiences with the newbies. Especially the horror stories like “just [...]
The Fourth of July celebrations 2010
The Fourth of July celebrations got started early this year at Cattail Creek Country Club. My family has been attending this event for the past couple of years but this was my first time. We lucked out with what will probably be the last mild evening weather of the summer and the skies [...]
Taproot Foundation’s 2nd Anniversary
I just recently joined the Taproot Foundation which is an organization that aims “to lead, mobilize and engage professionals in pro bono service that drives social change.” I’ve been looking for a way to use photography to give back to the community and I’m really excited about getting assigned to my first project.

DC Linchpin Meetup
Tonight was the DC meetup for fellow “Linchpins” who are big fans of marketing guru Seth Godin. Many thanks to Seth for motivating such an interesting group of people to gather and to Zainab for organizing the event at the Science Club. If you’re unfamiliar with Seth you can read his wikipedia bio, reviews of his seminars [...]
Aruba Sunsets
From the freezing blizzards in Maryland and Massachusetts we briefly escaped to an oasis of an island with perfect sunsets every evening. White sand, crystal clear blue water and deep orange skies are the perfect recipe for relaxation.
Boston city skyline at sunset
The Great “Snowpocalypse” of 2009 delayed our family vacation to Aruba by two excruciating days. Who’d have thought a mere 20 inches would delay flights. After many, many hours on hold we finally got an American Airlines agent who had the brilliant idea to route us through Boston. “Really lady, you don’t think it makes [...]
Big Storm Comin’
The rumor is that a major storm is heading our way and threatening to drop up to 18″ of snow. The best thing about snow in the DC area is the absolute panic it causes. Grocery stores are mobbed by folks storing up water and firewood. Gas stations develop lines because there won’t possibly be [...]
Jackie and Keith
My cousin Keith and his beautiful bride Jackie tied the knot this past weekend at the Tower Club in Tysons Corner, VA.
Trip to Melrose
After many years I finally had the chance to go back home to Melrose, MA and visit some friends I hadn’t seen in a long time. We all have kids around the same age (see below) and it was awesome to finally meet them. I had an amazing time catching up with everyone and [...]
Swinging with friends
My friend Fozia asked me to take some portraits of her young daughter and her three close friends. The girls would be going to different schools next year and the mothers all thought it would be a good idea to have a nice keepsake. As you can imagine keeping four 5 year olds [...]
Bethesda Storm
Bethesda Storm, originally uploaded by eliturner.
Big, creepy clouds swept over suburban Maryland last week. There was a threat of hail but ended up being just a lot of thunder.
Mrs. Maryland 2008
Our good friend Siobhan Davenport won the Mrs. Maryland America Pageant 2008 and I was honored when she asked me to take some headshots for her in her crown.
Even though it drizzled on the day we scheduled to shoot the overcast skies provided us with some amazingly beautiful light. Instead of trying to recreate [...]
CLS Test 1
Ever since I’ve started shooting with the Nikon D2x and more recently the D3 I’ve kind of avoided ever really learning or fully embracing the speedlight control system Nikon calls the CLS(Creative Lighting System.) Basically it uses a series of pulses of light from the on-camera speedlight to control one or several off-camera speedlights. [...]
Happy Birthday Mark
Continuing the birthday theme for this month, we celebrated my good friend Mark’s 40th at the Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard this past weekend. The winery put on a tasting in his honor and I was shocked pleasantly surprised at how good the wine was. As always it was a blast seeing old friends, making new ones [...]
Holland’s 1st Birthday
We had a little party today to celebrate our daughters 1st birthday and I still can’t believe a year has past this fast. Every piece of advice I got on being a father always included “…enjoy it now because it flies by.” I certainly don’t always slow down enough to put it into [...]
Q St. Renovations
The row house in Logan Circle where my father-in-law grew up is finally close to being completely renovated. I got to go in with realtor Matt Zanolli and take some promo pics for his website and brochures. It is really amazing what Lynn was able to do with this space. This thing was totally [...]
