Jania and I began a photography journal for 2013, and my posting time will likely be consumed by it for most of the year. Please check it out.
Jania and I participated in this fantastic 115 km fall event held by the Fauquier Trails Coalition, the Great Pumpkin Ride. Overall, I’d say we had a great time. The weather reached the 70’s. Jania’s legs didn’t cramp up. We were fed every type of pumpkinized food and drink possible. And best of all, we …
Ahh, the rolling hills of the Shenandoah Valley. They can be strenuous at times, but rewarding nonetheless. June 3rd was a perfect day in the valley for cycling, and we were joined by a couple hundred other enthusiasts. The participants fell into two categories: those who wholly supported the Boys & Girls Club of Northern …
Our recent trip to Playa del Carmen went as planned: debauchery, tomfoolery, a crazy good time. This is the second detsination wedding I’ve attended in as many years, and I’m lovin’ em! I partied with some old friends and met some new (international) ones. Jania and I did not return without an abundance of pictures. …
This past weekend almost felt like a social experiment. The ingredients: friends, acquaintances, strangers, immeasurable amounts of alcohol, and junk food. The setting: a charming lake cabin surrounded by snow. The result: equal parts epic and legendary. The strangers became acquaintances. Acquaintances became friends. Friends became balls-out butt-buddies. Sneaky (and not-so-sneaky) ninjas picked locks using …
When the NBA announced that it would in fact hold a shortened schedule, my brother and I decided to become first-year Wizards season ticket holders. Since I’ve never had season tickets, it was quite exciting. It’s been a roller coaster, to say the least; a roller coaster that only goes down, goes really slow, and …
2011 is over, and the most fitting way to pay homage to such a year is through imagery. Dewey Beach, Vegas, NYC, Chicago, Bermuda, Harrisonburg, DC–all fun times and lasting memories. Enjoy. I’ve also posted some favorites from 2010 here for your viewing pleasure.
Gamble. Eat. Gamble. Sleep (at 5am). Rinse and repeat. Sprinkle some shopping, drinking, and partying and that pretty much sums up our NYE weekend in AC. We stayed at Wyndham Skyline Towers for 3 nights, and pinballed between Trump Plaza, Borgata, Caesars, etc. We spent the last moments of 2011 at the Chelsea, where we …
It was just another Christmas Eve Party at the Fadul household. I put my new flash umbrella to work, along with my Minolta 3600HS and Sigma EF-500DG Super flashes. Still trying new strobe tactics, but I’m generally pleased with how the photos came out (and equally displeased with how many times my exposure settings were …
A few years ago, my friend Kevin Finnegan introduced me to the art of ambigrams–texts or logos that may be read in more than one direction. If you hadn’t noticed, my ‘Phifa’ webpage logo is such an ambigram. Shared below are a few others I’ve created since (for myself and Jania). To create them, I …
