It’s a new year at MDP. Sorry again for the sporadic posts. We’re still here though. In 2012 MDP has a new resolution not to purchase any new camera equiptment until MDP has eaked every last ounce of photograpic power out of what it has. Or until I lose a sufficient amount of weight to reward myself with a frivelous camera accessory. So today’s picture comes from the last frivelous camera accesory (a new lens with very shallow depth of field), that MDP will have for a long time.
Here’s another one. MDP had some friends in town when this sculpture was being erected and they witnessed this thing being hauled down the street but could not figure out what it should be. Then they came across it a few days later after it had been placed here and it all made sense. Well… it made more sense.
Yesterday’s panorama reminded me of this wide shot of Sugarloaf mountain. Though the perspective of this shot makes it difficult, if you’ve seen it before you can recognize instantly that Frederick and Montgomery counties’ big mountain has a distinctive notch in it that makes it recognizable from the surrounding areas.

We are posting a special shot today from last year’s Chompy, the Discovery Channel shark that takes over their headquarters building during shark week. They have announced that chompy won’t be coming out this year. So that new zoom lens I bought is now totally worthless.
