Baltimore, Md.'s Fireworks Grand Finale On New Years Eve 2010 - 2011

Here is the final 55 seconds of Baltimore, Maryland's Inner Harbor fireworks display held on New Year's Eve 2010 - 2011. I shot the video at about 4 miles from the barges the fireworks were shot off from. I was just inside southeastern Balto. City, about 200 yards from the western edge of Dundalk, Md..

Sunset Seen From Ft. Howard Veterans Hospital

Photography by David Robert Crews

Those strange things that look a bit like steamboats on the Patapsco River are Anne Arundel County shoreline buildings of the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company.

I have seen several fantastic sunsets from this point of view, when I was a patient in the Ft. Howard, Maryland Veterans Administration Medical Center and was temporarily confined to a wheelchair. It is so safe there that I had no fear of being out there by myself while I was quite crippled up and mostly helpless for awhile.

I went back down there one evening, when I wasn't a patient, and took this photo. I'd sure like to photograph a few more sunsets from down there.

North Point State Park

Photographs by David Robert Crews

I love walking in the woods, being in the woods, seeing-hearing-smelling-feeling the woods all around me. For most people the saying 'we're not out of the woods yet' means they're in a bad place; for woodsmen like me (and woodswomen too) when we say "we're not out of the woods yet" means that we still have time to enjoy Mother Nature's wild wonders before we have to go back to the other stuff.

Look around and all up and down when you're out in the woods, I almost missed that cartoonish Lion face shaped knot on the tree, fortunately I stopped during my hike to take in my surroundings for a few seconds.

Foggy Day In Gunpowder State Park

Photography by David Robert Crews

I like being outdoors in all kinds of weather. This is freakin' magical out here in the fog. It's soft and comfortable if you dress warm and waterproof for it. All my senses respond with wonder and send signal pulses of pleasure to my brain in almost any kind of weather.

Fells Fest 2000

Photography by David Robert Crews

Coblestone streets, kids in strollers, venders in the background having a good time, and a whimsical dummy, all part of the scene at Baltimore's Fells Point Festival. I shot several negatives of this scene. One neg has the button on the dummy's chest in perfect focus. I did that because I hope to learn all the techniques of some digital photo shop program one day and then I can take the in focus button and put it on the dummy in this shot with the crowd and the background in focus. You wouldn't happen to know where I can get a good, used, unwanted Pentium 4 would ya? I'm a disabled veteran living on a small VA Pension, and I work as hard as I can on my photography and writing, just look around on my blogs/poorman's web sites and see for yourself.

Right in the middle of all that family fun I run into this pink dog with an attitude. This is Fells Point after all.

Photgraphy by David Robert Crews

A little bit of work in Adobe Photoshop would take that traffic light off her head. But I have to learn how to do that. And get a good enough computer to do it on---poverty sucks. Anybody wanna help a starving artist? I need a grant.

A Fells Point Halloween

The following three photographs are straight from 35MM negatives and were created by some experimental camera handling. I took the shots with a flash on, the shutter speed on 1 sec, instead of the normal 1/60 sec exposures for flash, and had a let 'er rip not knowing what the hell might show up on my negatives.

See the guy with an 8 Ball for a head, them bodacious babes must have blown his mind. Look in the darkness on the right side, there's a mini-skirted girl there with seperate top and bottom halves to her body, it looks like the top of her body floated off its lower half towards the left.

Ahem!. Did somebody slip something psychedelic in that guy's drink?

Notice the fleet of flying saucers coming in at tree top level in a loose V Formation. They seem to doing some kind of shake up on the crowd; maybe I caught some kinda soul/brain/personality swapp and all them smiling, innocent, drunken, stoned, horny, some nearly pukin', people are being turned into space aliens deep down inside them somewhere, where it can be called to action to take over its 'host' body and raise hell on a future Halloween. Maybe not, but they do look like flyin' saucers don't they?
