In their natural habitat "I really enjoy the outdoors and try to do my little part to help save and protect the environment," says photographer David Owen Hawxhurst, who was up before dawn to shoot "Hangin' with the Blue Crabs." Hawxhurst, whose work appears in Baltimore Magazine and Washingtonian, also shot the photography for last year's Chesapeake Bay Foundation calendar. Our assignment was particularly fun, he says, because it involved working with kids: "They tend to forget you are there very quickly and act very naturally." |

The next best thing to being there? "Hey, where did we get the budget to send Steve Spartana to France?" That was the grumbling heard round our office when the Magazine's writers caught sight of the photographer's portrait of art historian Dan Weiss ("Divine Motives"). Weiss may look as if he's standing in the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris, but the photo was actually shot in a Homewood lecture hall. The stained glass backdrop was supplied via a projected slide. Though Spartana remained in Baltimore for this shoot, he's spent the last few months traveling around the world--to spots in China, Sri Lanka, Rio de Janeiro, and Europe--on photo assignments. |
