ANGELA B. PAN

#tbt to Christmas day and it was the foggiest I’ve ever seen the district.

Another reason to visit the National Portrait Gallery. This piece is so mesmerizing, it will make you stop as soon as you see it.

I took this image a few years ago. I don’t remember the exact date but I do remember what I was thinking while I was taking it.

First, I remember it being really cold and freezing my butt of on a rock with my camera and tripod. Second, I remember being obsessed with the light. But I think at that time I didn’t know why or what about it that I loved so much. I just remember being so hypnotized that I couldn’t even blink, you know the kind where you just keep on staring and staring. You know that you need to turn away, but you just can’t.

And then when I got home I didn’t like the image. I think it was because I didn’t know how to edit it properly to what I saw. Now that some years have passed and I’ve gotten better at post processing that I can now accurately depict the amazing flow of water, light and rhythms crashing in front of me. I loves it and it’s crazy how just looking at an image can bring back so many emotions.

Another amazing view of another amazing room.

Again, I was going through some of my older pics and found this one. Right now the Capitol dome is under construction and all this beauty is covered by tarp. Can’t wait until the work is done and to tour the Capitol again. It’s one of those places that you can’t help but go “Wow”. I think my favorite part of this room is all the windows. They bring in so much light that really gives the room life.

I’ve never taken the time out to read what was on top of Lincoln’s head. I always knew there was some writing there, but I don’t I ever cared too much to read it.

Today was different. I was trying to find unique angles and wound up getting closer and closer to the Mr Lincoln. I loved how the memorial is called a temple. Somewhere for people to really reflect and appreciate on what he has done for our country. No better way to honor a great man than to build a massive memorial dedicated to him.
