Obviously most of my images are of the DC monuments because its home to me. In between travel, these monuments are the best places to go and practice my craft and to discover new angles.

No matter how many times I go, I never get tired of these amazing views.

Full moon rising at the US Capitol. One of the best places in the city to watch the sky.

Cutest paddle boats ever. They make me smile every time I see them. Especially if they were lined up in a row like this.

My favorite part of this image is that light reflection down the center, left side of the image. So cool to see how it reflects.

It’s all about simplicity in this image.

Another lightning strike. This one is a little harder to make out but the mood on this was is just how I wanted it.

I was in Tokyo for the peak of the Cherry Blossoms this year. I was a little sad about it but still managed to capture the last bit of it.

I was in Tokyo for the peak of the Cherry Blossoms this year. I was a little sad about it but still managed to capture the last bit of it when we got back home.

Wonder what tomorrow is going to be? Check back tomorrow to find out.

Going through some older images I found this one. Not sure who this little guy is or why I never processed this image before but I really like it. I love the different perspective of the Capitol building but also it reminds me of being young again. When it didn’t matter how cold it was outside, you were just happy to be outside.

Revisited an image I took earlier this year but thought it would look cool flipped upside down. Can you tell? I think it’s subtle but interesting when you find the little clues.
