last minute snow

Just turned spring in Crozet and look what happened!  Funny weather for March 24th.  Anyway, it's always beautiful when it snows.

While having spent years producing advertising and marketing photography, I've recently put out a shingle as a local Crozet business owner.  For those following this blog, please spread the word that Rammelkamp Foto (out of Westhall) is available for spring photos!  If you would like to view my commercial work, please visit www.rammelkampfoto.com.

view from the office

Now that I have a home office, I'm lucky enough to work in a room with a view.  This is towards the end of the Westhall development, off Nicolet, in Crozet.

Beautiful full moon tonight.  Too good to pass up on a photograph.

Nice looking place in the Crozet Harris Teeter shopping center off 250.  Traditional Thai cuisine, colorful interior, pleasant wait staff and tasty pad see ew.

Crozet Pizza

This place has GREAT pizza!  My friends and family from NY wondered if it's possible to get good pizza in Virginia.  Well, I'm here to say you can...you most certainly can!

Crozet Pizza was opened in 1977 by Bob and Karen Crum along with their four children in an old condemned building. Mr. Crum hand made every pizza that was served for 31 years. One by one people would call ahead days in advance to get one of Crozet Pizza's delicious pies.

In 2004 Mr. Crum decided to retire and handed the business off to his daughter Colleen and I. The menu was spiced up a little and we added a few more salads to our menu, Greek and Spinach! The pizzas are hand tossed to order and everything that goes on your pie is cooked and cut to bake per order. We are not one of the fast food chains! Our Dough is made on site from a recipe that Karen Crum created back in the early 70's and we haven't changed it since. The only change is we offer it in whole wheat now.
