Visiting Lincoln

I try to make myself take a camera everywhere. This is not always practical and sometimes I end up looking like Joe tourist but now that I think about it, that may be an advantage. I was going to write about carrying the camera everywhere in the off chance a photo shows up. Making photographs is good when working, but when you are showing your in-laws the sights of D.C., you really cannot spend time creating images. But you never know when one will be found.

The Joe tourist “advantage” is that with a single camera, small lens and no motor drive, you look like everyone else on the street with a camera. Well maybe that is not entirely true since most people carry point and shoots or just use their cell phone cameras, but you get the point.

Anyway, the point is that I was wandering D.C with the in-laws and found a photo in the process. I don’t know if it is great one, but I like it.
