Kid for a Day

February 24, 2014

Yesterday I had the opportunity to go out and make images for Baltimore Sun Media Group of "Bay Day."

Located in Columbia, Md. at the Robinson Nature Center this event exceeded my expectations. The center was a beautifully built two year-old sustainable building that housed great family fun.

Many times it was hard to not get wrapped up in the incredible space. But incredible spaces can make for interesting images.

I am gonna keep this post short and leave a gallery of some of my favorite images from the take.

Until next time, take care!
