The Tidal Basin photo of the birds in flight yesterday, featured on my blog, enjoyed some extra publicity this morning when it was featured on the NBC Washington Channel 4 news/weather. Meteorologist Tom Kierein picked it up from Twitter, and it was fun to see the image on TV as I got my son off to school. Out of curiosity, I decided to figure out which gull species were in that huge flock. I’d also taken some photos of individual gulls, so […]

After watching Angela’s performances on The Creation Wars (where she’s undefeated after two appearances!), I sent her an email introducing myself. We decided to meet for a shoot in Washington, D.C., and yesterday was the day. […]

I edited this one in Adobe Lightroom 4 and found that it gave me some additional options from version 3. Although this has a slight hint of HDR, it’s just one image but […]

I have a confession to make. I’ve lived in the Washington, D.C., metro area for more than 30 years, and I’ve only been to the Jefferson Memorial once. Tonight I made my second visit. It’s really a shame that I live within about an hour’s drive (without traffic) to our nation’s capital, and I rarely go down unless it’s work related. I spent about five hours down on the Mall today visiting a few select monuments with a small group […]
