Thank you for participating in Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photowalk 2009 - Baltimore! My name is Stacie Morris - I lead the walk in Baltimore (Fell’s Point) and I’ll be leading the walk again this year.

This year’s walk will be taking place around the Inner Harbor. We’ll meet at the Rusty Scupper and end near the Aquarium. Lunch is TBD - I was thinking about Hard Rock, but if you have suggestions, please comment. We’ll be walking 9am - 11am then have lunch afterwards.

For more information about the walks in general, to purchase t-shirts, etc, check out Scott’s blog at http://www.scottkelby.com/blog/category/worldwide-photowalk.

Some questions I got last year:

Parking - There’s plenty of parking around the harbor, especially at 9am. Since we aren’t completing a full circle, it’s up to you whether you want to park at the beginning or end.

The walk - You don’t need to stay with the group. You may wander off and check out some of Baltimore’s great architecture or head up to Federal Hill for a great view of the entire Inner Harbor.

Lunch - Meeting at a restauraunt after the walk is a great way to meet fellow photographers, chimp, and catch up on the latest photography news. But you don’t have to join us if you’d only like to stay for the walk.

Safety - While it’s easy to get caught up in taking pictures, I must stress safety. Watch for traffic and obey all signals. Please don’t fall into the harbor Keep an eye on your camera and equipment. And if you want to wander off into a dark alley to get an awesome shot, please take a friend or two!

Waiting List - There is a wait list for this walk. Please email me if you or a friend need to be on the list. Also, if you are already signed up to be a participant and can’t make it, please let me know so I can make room for those on the wait list.

Other questions? Jeff Revell has a great site and is leading the DC Photowalk. http://www.revellphotography.com/blog/

My first child, Abigail Carol, was born on June 2, 2009 at 12:29pm. She was 7lbs, 12 oz, 20in. The first week we spent teaching her the difference between night and day. She’s absolutely precious and we love her dearly.

It’s hard to believe that I haven’t posted anything in a while. Hopefully a little 50D inspiration will help things along. Thank you to my dear husband who encourged me to get it and wonderful friend who help my hand while I clicked “Confirm” to purchase the camera.

Happy New Year!

I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!  Here’s what I am thankful for this year:

•  Our baby had a sonogram on Tuesday and looks healthy.  Junebug was very active and couldn’t stop shaking it’s leg, just like Mom!
• My husband Bob - I don’t know what I’d do without him.
• Our friends and family who bring us so much support and love.
• Diesel - he’s been a great companion over the years.
• Opportunity - I’ve had so many opportunities to grow, learn, and succede in life.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I haven’t picked up my camera in a while, much less played with a new lens. But promans and I did a lens swap and I finally got to find out first hand about the hype of a macro lens. And now, all I want to do it run around the house finding things to shoot.

At first, I wondered what’s so different between this and a regular lens, but then I moved my tripod closer and loved the detail I could capture - and it was sharp. Check out my Flickr over the next week to see all of my shots and I’ll post some favorites here!

Remember The Digital Photography Show?  It was a podcast by Michael GW Stein and Scott Sherman about everything photography. Well, they are back and better than ever with a brand new podcast - Digital Photography Life! And to prove it, their first guests have been the one and only Scott Kelby and Jeff Revell of DC Photowalking fame.

If you haven’t, I highly recommend giving it a listen - looking forward to your thoughts!

I won’t be going due to being pregnant, but that doesn’t mean I can’t promote Photoshop World!  I’ve gone two years and came back with my head spinning of with a ton of tips, tutorials, and inspiration!

Reason #10 Your very own private portfolio reviewer or Help Desk help!

That’s right!  Take your portfolio or question to Photoshop World and let a guru answer and critique it live! This wasn’t available when I could attend, so register to go to Boston and get critiqued!

Last Flowers of Fall, originally uploaded by staciecmorris.

Taken on Oct 18, it was one of my last bonding experiences with my camera. But I am happy with the way the picture turned out. I’m slowly getting more energy to do more besides work and I hope to be taking pictures again soon.

Morris Baby, originally uploaded by staciecmorris.

I am 9weeks 5days today! This picture was taken at 7weeks 5 days. So hopefully, this will explain why I’ve been a bit MIA lately on the photography scene. All I do lately is sleep and deal with morning sickness

I actually have a bit more energy lately (only one nap per day) so I hope to post more soon! Thank you for being patient!
