This was my third attempt at going to the Martin Luther King Jr Memorial. Why so many? The first time I went, it was closed. The second time, I was not happy with the images I came out with. Third time is the charm 🙂 I had heard that this memorial was finally open 24 hours, meaning I could go there for sunrise (my favorite time of day).
All the times that I’ve been the Lincoln Memorial, its never really occured to me to step outside and take a picture of the whole moument itself. It’s so beautiful, especially at night when the lights on the monument are turned on.
In all actually this image was not intended. I finally made it to the Martin Luther King Memorial and spent most of my time there. Walking back to my car, I walked past the Lincoln and had to stop and take a picture. The sky was beautiful with just the right amount of clouds to make the sky more exciting.
Hi Everybody!!
Hope you all had a great week and an awesome Labor Day! It’s been raining the past week here, so its been a little difficult taking new images. So, I made a video about it! Check it out:
Now, here are my images.
I spent a day in Rehoboth Beach over the weekend and found this very cool, very blue Vespa
Then I had to look back at some of my older images for this US Capitol shot and
Jefferson Memorial.
I finally braved the rain and visited Meadowlark Gardens for some macro images. Pink Flower Water Droplets
Now, I just can’t wait for the leaves to start changing. This image was taken last year around this tme of Shenandoah National Park
FamousDC is doing an awesome tribute to 9/11 next week where they are asking everyone to send them in pictures of American flags around the DC area. Here’s my contribution:
Hope you all had a great week and hopefully I’ll be back next week with some sunny images 🙂

The weather in DC has been kinda crappy lately. It hasn’t really felt like summer for the past few weeks and the rest of this week is calling for rain. This is forcing me to look back at some of my old shoots and see if I can find something worth while.
So, I know I have lots of images of the Jefferson, but this one is kinda different than the others because this is the back side of the memorial. A side that isn’t viewed very often.
This was taken at the same time as this image. The difference now is that I think this post processing is better. As this daily blog continues, I can tell a huge difference in my work from when I first started (back in January). It’s really unbelivable to see. Sometimes I’m think to myself, “Wow I can’t believe I took that image”. It makes me really grateful for being able to do what I do and I know that its only going to get better and I can’t wait!
So, the hurricane wasn’t all that I thought it was going to be. It was kinda disappointing. I thought after the storm passed I’d get all these crazy beautiful skies, but it just didn’t happen. This is the morning after Irene. The weather report called for clear skies, but I thought, how could it possibly be clear?
