Since the scaffolding is coming down on the Washington Monument, I thought it’d be fun to look back on some of my favorite images of the construction. The scaffolding doesn’t happen very often and I know many people didn’t like it. I didn’t see it as a distraction, but a new structure to appreciate.
So here you go from multiple viewpoints! Enjoy 🙂
Going up…
In all it’s scaffolding glory…
Coming down…
So which one was your fav?
YAY for snow! Can we have some more? It was such a beautiful morning to be out in the freezing cold to take pictures 🙂
Mr. Jefferson looking great in his memorial.
Wishing you and your family a prosperous 2014!!
So simple but I’ve never seen the sky look so subtle. I remember when I was processing this image I even impressed myself 🙂

Each year it’s always a challenge to find a unique angle for the fireworks in DC. This year, I was really happy with the results.

Funny fact. A pink moon isn’t actually pink. I figured that out this night.

In early September, I had a beautiful time in Sedona, AZ. I think we were there during a unusual time of the year. They were getting lots of rain which also meant lots of rainbows and clouds.

This was my first time in Watkins Glen State Park and it’s pretty amazing. I would love to go again. This was my favorite image from that trip.

In alphabetical order of how I named the digital files, I present to you my personal favorite images of 2013!
These may not be everyone’s favorites but when I think back on 2013, these are the images I think of. Comparing my images from this year to last year, I can really tell that I’ve grown as a photographer. My style has become more distinct and clean looking.
I’ve also decided to divide up the 10 images into 2 blog posts. For no other reason than making it more suspenseful so you’ll have to wait til tomorrow to see the rest of the images 🙂
Hope you enjoy! and Happy New Year!
In March, I traveled to Northern California to practice some of my water scenes. This was a big trip for me because of two reasons. 1. It was the first time I ever traveled by myself. 2. I spent most of the time practicing waterscapes and working more on my post processing.

This was the first I was ever allowed to use my tripod at the Capitol. I think it may be because this image was taken in August and congress is out of session then. But either way, I was super happy to be able to use it 🙂

The cherry blossoms are always a beautiful time of the year in DC. What you may or may not know that it’s also one of the craziest times of the year too. This image isn’t even half of it.

I love this image of the cherry blossoms close up. I think the rain makes it look so delicate and the colors from the leaves really pop.

This image taught me a big lesson. I can take pictures all times of the day. Not just sunrise and sunset.

The views in Watkins Glen State Park are amazing. It’s like everywhere you turn your jaw drops. The trail is significantly cooler and muddy because of the water, but so worth it.
