Hello, and welcome to the Fall 2005 pictures.
At the start of Fall, I bought a new flash for my camera, and was working out how to use it.
Kelli is always such a willing subject.
Scott, Brian, and Scott were also willing subjects after band practice.
On September 25th, we headed to Nick’s Fish House in Baltimore to celebrate….
Kelli’s birthday!!!!!
Lots of friends came along….
And some decided to get extra friendly!!!!
We were celebrating her twenty-thirteenth birthday….
And we didn’t have to twist too many arms to join in the fun.
OK, enough of this, time for some other pictures.
Over at Kelli’s mother’s house, and Ashley has taken a fancy to Kelli’s ghetto purse.
Then it was out to the porch for some wine and gifts.
Being done with family and friends, Kelli and I went out for a romantic brithday dinner.
Also so beautiful!!!!
Except when she’s with this dork.
A little birthday surprise from me to end the night.
A few days later, and it was dinner at Aida Bistro.
There was a presentation on the wine and food pairings….
Which always leads to good times.
Why is she laughing???
Because she drank all these herself!!!!
Anyone up for some Maryland football?
This particular Saturday found Kelli and I tailgating a Maryland Game.
Here is the crew we were hanging out with that day….
Although I was thinking of following these ladies around!!!
There was an omelet station setup….
And some hot pepper infused vodka for the bloody marys.
I bet you can’t guess Maryland’s school colors.
A gas powered blender…..
Why didn’t I think of that?
Kelli’s running/drinking/phone buddy, Mike.
It’s the new diet, omelettes and beer.
We headed over to the stadium just in time to catch the fly over….
And then it was time for some football.
Fear the turtle!!!!
Kelli and her mother sat together for a while….
While I headed closer to the action with Mike.
Did you guess that color yet?
The building in the back, third from the top, second window in…my home for my first year of college.
Enough Maryland football for now lets move on to some…..
Pumpkin Ale, a seasonal beer that Kelli and I love!!!
Out drinking at Bare Bones one night….
And Kelli got her groove on.
I just got snookered.
Brian Shadrick stopping by one day for a visit.
Later that night Scott Gray came by.
We headed over to Annabell’s for some fun.
Scott sure does like to pose with my wife.
There was a wine event going on there that night….
So while we drank wine….
Adam lectured us on the importance of a bottle of wine a day to keep the doctor away.
Afterwards, it was over to the pub where I bumped into Elliott and Carrie.
A rainy day in October with Ashley, Kristi, and Kelli to pick out pumpkins.
The rain kept me from taking too many pictures.
A G-13 show. Pictures brought to you by Talon Photography.
Kelli’s mother’s house one day for food and….
Jalapenos for my home made hot sauce.
La Pa Lapa with Chris and Laurie….
For some celebrating.
When we got back to the car I had forgotten to pay the meter….
Oh well.
Making the hot sauce.
Do you want some?
Kelli and I went to Florida to visit her grandmother, for those pics Click Here.
Another night at Annabell’s.
Kelli thought I looked hot, and needed a picture of me.
Freestyle Hair & Body Spa hosted a breast cancer gala…
Courtney is on the committee….
And asked if I would come and do the photography that night.
I accepted, and several other family members came as well.
They all had a great time….
But for Kelli and I it was work, work, work!!!
We were able to relax at the end of the night, and I was even able to sell a few pictures!!!!
My brother loves to have bonfires….
And there was plenty of fuel for the fire.
Draw a line between their hands to get the height of the fire.
Of course, that wasn’t big enough, so we made it bigger!!!
Mark was paid over $20 to jump the fire.
Halloween night, and Kelli and I had some family over.
We all had some pizza….
And some went out trick or treating….
While I stayed home and handed out red cups….
Full of pumpkin ale!!!
Peter and Megan stopped by to watch the movie I was playing, also.
Gee, can it be???
Yup, another night at Annabell’s.
Kelli made me get up before 6am on a Satuday to go to DC.
The Fall calors were in full swing….
But we were there for a bigger purpose.
These people were standing at the front of the line, and had been since 9pm the night before.
Kelli and I were at the other end of the line, and made it just before the park service said no more people in line.
So why are we standing in line on a cold day early in the morning?
To get tickets to the lighting of the national Christmas tree!!!
She always wanted to see the lighting, and now this year she will.
S3B, the rock band that never was.
With the colors in full vibrance, I headed to Ellicott City for a day of pictures.
The really cool thing that happened that day….
Was while walking into some of the shops….
I was asked if I do postcards with my pictures.
I do not, and have not, but I of course said I did.
Mark was with me, so we stopped off to have a beer and talk postcards.
I ended up making 8 different post cards….
Some of which are pictured here.
Another beer break.
This is my favorite of all the postcards.
In some areas there were less colors than others….
But that didn’t stop Mark and I from having a good time.
Find Mark and Scott.
I liked this one as a post card, too.
Mark jumping down the “Hell House” steps.

Kelli and I had a weekend in OC….
Where we enjoyed some nice alone time.
We almost always go out to eat when we’re there…
And this night had us hopping from place to place.
Which one do you think we had?
A good looking cheese plate at….
Well, you can read.
Next stop was the new kid on the block….
And the tuna was great!!!!
Kelli playing with my Game Boy again.
The next day we stopped by the Blue Ox before heading home.
Back to Aida Bistro for another wine event.
There were plenty of good wines to choose from….
And plenty of good company to enjoy them with that night.

A cold December night and Kelli and I head back to DC.
It was time to watch the lighting of the National Christmas tree.
Can you spot the Secret Service in this picture?
Kelli did her best to stay warm….
While waiting for the President to light the tree.
President Bush made his remarks to the crowd….
Then pressed the button….
And lit the tree.
The lights looked pretty in front of the White House.
Always try to get a landmark in the picture.
It was time for Kelli and I to get our own Christmas tree….
And this one looks just right.
I stopped by Brian’s to say hello to the family.
So happy.
Brian had some real Absinthe….
That I had to try.
Time to leave these folks and get ready for…..
Our wine tasting. Click here for pictures.
My company threw a Christmas party for customers….
And collected lots of goodies for children in need.
Kelli came along for the fun of it….
And I just had to provide the fun.
