The 2010 Yearbook is done. Another 60 or so hours of work in the layouts over the course of the year (again, this year, I tried to do them as we went). This is a monumental undertaking, but the final product has always been worth it.
This years edition clocks in at 98 pages – largely because once Tiffany left her PhD program we both started doing things on our own. Since 80 pages is the limit allowed by PhotoWorks, we had to look for a place that would allow us more pages. And we found Viovio.

Despite living only 30 miles away, the first time I was ever in Annapolis (as opposed to driving through it) was in June when I shot weddings with two Annapolis photographers. Annapolis has a certain artistic flavor to it that attracts creative people. I saw more pro-style photographers in Annapolis than I can ever recall seeing, and for good reason. There are some really awesome photographic opportunities!
First, there’s the American Main Street. Annapolis actually served as the U.S. Capitol between 1983-4 and was the location of the ratification of the Treaty of Paris, which recognized American Independence. It was, therefore, an appropriate place to spend July 4.
And then, of course, there’s the Chesapeake Bay, which gives the city a distinctive laid back beach town feeling. The docks are filled with sailboats of all sizes and types – there’s even a pirate ship for the kids.
Annapolis is also the home of the United States Navel Academy, the campus of which is a photographers’ dream. Tiffany, who was getting tired and hungry, indulged me for far longer than was reasonable while I bounced from building to building to see what new photographic opportunities I could find:
And finally, on Saturday night, we went to listen to the United States Army Band on the pier. I ventured around and got some really awesome back-lit shots of the bassist.
Tiffany and I have lived in Maryland for more than six years, and we’ve never done the obligatory Maryland crab dinner. That’s like not eating a steak in Montana or voting Republican in California!
Fortunately, our awesome neighbor Brian introduced us to his family (who live just down the street) and they hosted a Memorial Day Crab Feast (their first too). They served up half a bushel of crabs pre-cooked in the regionally mandated Old Bay Seasoning, kebobs and chicken breasts hot off a fancy new grill. Throw in some icy cold beers on a smouldering day and the day was perfect.

After 3.5 years of very hard work, my thesis committee gave me the go ahead to move on and give my thesis seminar. After begging my mom and step dad to bring my sister and fly all the way from California to come to my seminar, they finally agreed. My mom got over (took some serious pills) her paralyzing fear of flying and they came. It was so amazing to be able to give my talk to a room full of my collegues, family, and friends. I was so touched by how many of them took the time to come to my seminar.
I was very proud of my accomplishments and had a lot of fun giving my seminar. Admitidly, it was very difficult to hand my project over. It was my life’s work, but I feel very lucky to be handing it over to a very motivated and bright graduate student who I believe will bring the project great places.
It’s such an amazing feeling to complete a PhD (or at least the work necessary for a PhD- I still have to write the rest of my thesis out). I really am an authority on something and had a ton of people coming to me for advice. Now, I’ve started back in the clinics and know nothing. I’m the least knowledgeable of everyone on the team and that is an interesting place to be. Jed calls this my “last mountain”, and he’s probably right. I look forward to the challenge ahead, but for now, enjoy my first triump in my quest for an MD-PhD!
