NATIONAL AQUARIUM-BALTIMORE

BALTIMORE, MD

Baltimore - Fort McHenry: Barracks Barracks No. 1 was used to house enlisted men. One room was for non-commissioned officers (corporals and sergeants), perhaps a second for musicians and artificers (skilled military craftsmen). The remaining room was for privates. At the time of the War of 1812 the building was one story, with a second story added in the 1830s. Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine, a pentagonal bastion fortification located on Locust Point, is best known for its role in the War of 1812, where it withstood 25 hours of bombardment by the British Navy, inspiring Francis Scott Key to write "The Star-Spangled Banner." The fort was later used as a military prison during the Civil War and as a hospital in World War I, and was designated a national park in 1925 and a National Monument and Historic Shrine in 1939, becoming the only dual-designated national monument and historic shrine in the United States.

Baltimore - Fort McHenry: Ravelin The Ravelin, a triangular detached outwork of a fortification, protects Fort McHenry's gate from direct enemy fire. Following the Civil War, it was converted into a gunpowder storage area, with an angled stairway to prevent enemy artillery shells from striking the powder magazine directly.

Baltimore - Locust Point Locust Point, a peninsular neighborhood in South Baltimore, is noted as the home of Fort McHenry. Called "Baltimore's Ellis Island," it was once the third largest port of entry for immigrants into the United States and served as a center of Baltimore's Polish-American, Irish-American and Italian-American communities, but has experienced gentrification in recent years with the rehabilitation of Tide Point and Silo Point. L.P. Steamers is a renowned crab shack in Locust Point, established by Bud Gardner in 1996.

Canon Lenses Outfitted with Solar Filters Left: :EF 16-35mm on a 6D Mark II. This is the camera and lens that I used to make the next composite photo (left arrow).. Center: RF 800mm ƒ11, not used for this eclipse. Right: RF 100-500mm that I used with a 1.4X extender for 700mm.

Strobist: Profoto A2 at camera right in a Profoto Clic Softbox Octa. Triggered by a Profoto Air Remote TTL-C.
Dad as New Dad: Pure Joy One of many snapshots of old family photos I digitized the lazy way (with my mobile phone camera). As yesterday was the day my brother David passed away (1987) I am compelled to share this joyful photo of my Dad with his first child, likely in 1953 or 1954.
Baltimore: Ekiben - Ancho Chile Pork The Ancho Chile Pork, little morsels of braised pork, perfectly seared and swimming in bold sauce made with 10 different herbs and spice, topped with refreshing herb and cabbage slaw. Ekiben officially opened its doors in Fells Point in March, 2016. Started by Steve Chu, Abebe, and Nick Yesupriya as a modest operating using a hot-dog cart to sell Asian steamed bun sandwiches at the Fells Point Farmers Market. The name "Ekiben" is inspired by the Japanese tradition of ekiben, or train station bento box.
Scant Time for Practice Due to cloudy and rainy weather, my wife, Leona, and I are finding scant time to practice our photography for the April 8 solar eclipse. We waited all day today to get a couple of photos at about 1749 EDT. Still, the Sun's disc in this photo is mottled by thin clouds. Canon EOS R5 w. 800mm Canon lens, on a SolarQuest solar finder and tracker, certified solar filter.
