So thrilled with how these pictures ended up coming out. We took a trip down the Bay on Memorial Day. We left the dock at 4am for what was supposed to be calm conditions... it turned out to be anything but. We had 1-2ft chop and white caps the majority of the way. Barely made it to Sharps Island Light at sunrise but it was SO WORTH IT!

I was afraid that these weren't going to turn out. We got there literally a minute after sunrise and I couldn't get the camera out and prepped on the way because of how rough it was. This was as high pressure as it gets...

In all, we cruised 115 miles on the Bay yesterday from Rock Creek down, through the Patapsco, all the way down the Bay and around Tilghman Island, through Knapp's Narrows, behind Poplar Island, up through Eastern Bay, Kent Narrows, Chester River, back into the upper Bay, Patapsco, Bear Creek, and then back to Rock Creek.

At the end of the day -- the results speak for themselves.

Appreciation Post

We just want to say thank you to all of our supporters. We usually catch up with everyone at different festivals and events and we get a few online orders throughout the year. The last 7 days, on the other hand, have been our best online sales week in terms of value and order volume!

The reality of what this means to us is that we getting close to having enough money in reserve to make it to our next show in August (Made In Maryland Festival at Kurtz's Beach) while we spend the next few months working with our artists (William R Turner Photography, Jacklyn Brower Photography, and Steve Brower Aerial Photography) to try to focus in on specific subject-matter that has been requested by you all.

Our focus this year will be Waterfowl (especially during mating season), Chesapeake Bay Lighthouses, documenting the rebuild of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, Sunsets, Sunrises, Chesapeake Bay Workboats (Deadrise and Draketail), and marine landscapes.

If you have any other suggestions on subject matter, colors, products, or print media you'd like to see our artwork in -- Please be sure to share them with us!
