Q. You're a native of Baltimore. What are three things first-time visitors absolutely must do while they are there?

A. Catch an Orioles game at Camden Yards. Eat blue crabs at the Inner Harbor. Spend the day fishing or crabbing on Chesapeake Bay.

Q. If the Orioles and Rockies ever meet in the World Series, how are you going to pull for both teams?

A. I'm not. I like the Rocks, but I love the O's.

Q. If you weren't having so much fun being a newspaper photographer, what would your dream job be?

A. Shooting the swimsuit issue for Sports Illustrated.

Q. What's the coolest place you've never been to, but always wanted to visit?

A. Tanzania or the Galapagos Islands. Cool names and both would make for great photos.

Q. If you were stuck on a deserted island with a volleyball named Wilson and an iPod with only one gig of storage, how sad would you be if Wilson floated away? And which albums would you play to help banish the bitter tears?

A. This has happened to me, but the volleyball was named Spalding. As for the tunes, I think Joe Cocker's "Cry Me A River" would work.
