fathers day in annapolis!

christina and alfred brought baskets full of food and a table top hibachi. gannon assembled it and grilled hamburgers, and chrissie skyped for an hour or two from chambery france, so the whole family was together despite the atlantic ocean!

governors martin o'malley, terry mcauliffe, jack markell, and tom corbett pledge to save the chesapeake bay!

four governors and other luminaries gathered yesterday on the annapolis city dock. i just happened to be present with my little leica.

presidential hopeful o'malley and the governors of virginia, delaware and pennsylvania signed an agreement to work together and increase accountability in the effort to clean up the bay. reuters coverage: link

governor tom  corbett leaving the event. i'm not crazy about his political attitudes, but check out his look! he really makes me want a yellow tie and white hair!  and an attractive entourage! (though, guy in the middle, thats a pretty busy tie to wear with a pinstripe jacket?!) but, i mean, truly, not ironically, the governor looks great!

pictures i took of the great actor and activist ruby dee.  she was leaving marcus samuelsson's celebrated harlem restaurant, red rooster, when she heard the band playing wade in the water.  she stopped to join in.
