The calm before the storm.
So, Hurricane Irene sounds like its going to be huge! I can’t wait! Can you imagine all the photo possibilities? Of course, I hope everyone is safe but I can’t wait to take some sunrise and sunset images 🙂
This was taken this morning at sunrise. It was so nice being outside, the weather was really cool but not cold. Just being by the water was so peaceful. It’s a great way to start the morning.
I’m back from Cozumel and had an amazing adventure! Although I was sad to come back home, I was also excited that I get to share images with all of you from Mexico.
Check out these amazing links to some of the most gorgous sunrises and sunsets in the world:
I was traveling on Monday, so I posted an image I took in Great Falls National Park at sunset of double waterfalls.
On my last day in Cozumel, I woke up really early to get this shot of the sun rising over the ocean.
Then I posted an image of our first sunset in Cozumel. It’s kinda crazy how enormous the clouds are and the reflection it makes in the water.
Right next to our hotel, were these rocks which made a beautiful foreground for a sunrise image.
Now, for a bird’s eye view of the rocks on the shore.
Right after I tookthis image, I turned around and saw this image.
Hey Everyone!
Guess where I am!! MEXICO!! Actually not right now because I’m writing this ahead of time, but get ready for some awesome images of Cozumel next week 🙂 The main reason why I’m going is to go scuba diving, but I’ll try to sneak some shots of the beaches.
Now, heres what happened this past week:
I visited the Thomas Jefferson Memorial at sunrise and the Memorial Bridge at sunset.
I took another trip to Great Falls National Park and learned a lot from my experience there.
Then I brought it back to earlier in the summer when I visited a sunflower field in Southern Maryland.
Finally, to round out the week I posted a new image of the Library of Congress in DC.
I was also featured in Fun in Fairfax for the very first time!
Hope you all enjoy your weekend!

It is so humid nowadays that when I came back from this shoot, my shirt was soaking with sweat 🙂 Pretty picture right?
So, I went to my usual spot where I thought I could get a nice sunset image. I was really uninspired. I took a few shots, but nothing was really wowing me. I decided just to wait a little bit and hoped that the sky would change in a couple of minutes. So, listening to my ipod and no one being around, I felt as though I could sing and dance along with my music. Good thing my music was so inspiring cuz I would of never have turned around and looked downstream to see the sky was gorgous in the other direction! The funny thing was that after I took this image, I turned around again, and my original sunset spot was beautiful.
There was nothing particulary difficult or challenging about this shoot. I had to be patient waiting for some boats to clear the way and hoping for some nice light from the sunset. Other that it was pretty smooth.
It’s getting pretty difficult to figure new places to go around DC, especially for sunset because there are very limited spots where the sunset actaully looks good.
