After a day of rain, I was really hoping for an amazing sunrise. Ask and you shall receive!

I headed to the beach in a huge rush in the morning. Mainly because I didn’t know where to park so it was taking me a while. Once I found a place, it was an incredible morning and was amazed to see surfers in the water. It was so cool!

Usually I walk right past this boat when I’m in Great Falls, MD, but this time was different. I think it was the sunset colors, but I’m so glad I actually stopped and took my time with this shot to get the perfect angle.

I’m not one of those photographers who carry around their cameras everywhere they go. 1. it’s too heavy! The 5DMII is one heavy arm accessory! 2. Usually when I take pics, I always have my tripod and sometimes it gets awkward to carry around.

But this day, I’m glad I had my camera. I set it up on a little ledge that I was leaning against and found a good angle to get all these amazing lines.

Thank you Veterans. Not just today but everyday.

This past Saturday, I got to spend an amazing evening with Rolling Thunder. Probably the biggest motorcycle gang in the US and they all meet in DC for Memorial Day weekend to raise awareness of POW MIA. Below is a picture of me donating my picture, Vietnam Memorial Cloudy Sunrise, to the president of the organization, Gary. It was a true honor to be at the event.
