I was originally going to post this yesterday, but I never got a chance. Makes me wonder, what would I have posted today if I had?
Smashing Atoms
Connor and I visited the Westinghouse Atom Smasher on Sunday. It has some interesting history, but there's unfortunately not much left to see. We didn't enter the property, just walked along the street. I can't wait until he is a bit older and we can do some urbexing together!
Sideling Hill
As I came back to Baltimore, I stopped at Sideling Hill for some pictures. I plan on doing a full writeup of this place, and eventually film a YouTube video here. Unfortunately, the observation deck was closed for repairs, but I still got a couple shots:
I had to use the fisheye to get the whole hill, but it doesn't really show how big the place really is.
This shot shows the scale a bit better.
I've traveled through Sideling Hill literally hundreds of times in my life. It's my favorite part of the trip from Baltimore to Pittsburgh, with Cumberland coming in a close second.
You rang?
I also got this weird phone while I was in Pittsburgh. I kind of want to convert it to Bluetooth (I don't think it would be too difficult) but I'll probably end up selling it instead.
YouTubing
So I kind of want to do reviews of all my old cameras, with photo walks accompanying them. But I also want to make videos about history, specifically the history of Baltimore and Maryland in general. So I was thinking I could do both?
I was thinking that videos could start with a photo walk around whatever historical site that I am talking about, And talk about the history while displaying the photos that I am taking. Then, at the end of the photo walk, return to my 'studio'(basement) to review the camera.
This very well could be the worst way to do this, but I really want to do both things at the same time.
