Ocean City, Maryland

I just spent a week in Ocean City. Beautiful beaches, wonderful weather. This was near the condo we stayed in. I’m working on my own web travel guide. More on that soon. I will definitely have to include stuff on Ocean City.

I took my dad’s Canon AE-1 with me. Haven’t developed the Ocean City roll yet. I DID get the roll back that I took on the Washington Photo Safari to Dumbarton Oaks in DC. Not really satisfied with the shots I took. Maybe it’s my inexperience. I don’t know. I have the photos on a CD, too. I’ll have to see if Photoshop can do anything interesting to the images. I think the Sun is too bright in most of the shots.

This is cool…this website will let you create maps showing where you’ve been:

Create your personalized map of Europe

Create your own visited states map

I may have been to a few more states but I can’t remember everything from those long cross-country car trips…

What’s funny is the travel site these come from still has some text I wrote for them WAY back on Washington DC.  We’re talking about 1997 or so.  They recruited me as their DC editor.  But I was in grad school at the time and couldn’t really devote much time to it so I had to quit.  Plus I resented it when other editors would change my stuff.  This was before the Wiki was invented, of course.
