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 [...]
PRIDE
Saturday after the viewing of the World Cup Soccer matches on Dupont Circle (See post in On Assignment), I stayed in the city for the annual parade that is held during the Capitol Pride Festival. This was interesting and a lot of fun. Thousands of spectators lined the parade route that marched up P street [...]
A Tea Party on Tax Day
The Tea Party Express rolled into Washington, D.C. for a rally on Tax Day. I should begin by saying that most of the gathering was civil, polite and having a good time. It is valuable to have a dialog in this country coming from all sides of an issue. Intelligent and constructive dialog is the [...]
You Gotta Love D.C.
I have only been here a couple of months, but I am beginning to realize that you just never know what you will see around Washington, D.C. I was walking from a meeting with Graph Paper Press guru Thad Allender an was heading to the White House for an assignment when I saw this group [...]
iPad Fever
I went out this morning to get a few shots of the first day of iPad sales at a local Apple store in Reston, Va. OK, I actually went to play with an iPad and figured it is a news event, so pictures would be a good idea too. No, I did not buy one, [...]

Tea Party Marches On
There is always something going on in D.C. and today was no exception. The Tea Party movement was marching and the circus came to town. One might argue that they are one and the same. Tea Party activists rallied on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday to protest the health care bill and demand meetings [...]
D.C. Metro Blues
“If you are leaving downtown D.C. for the East Falls Church station, is it a bad thing if you end up in L’Enfant Plaza station twice?” OK. The D.C. Metro cannot be that difficult, even after a few drinks. But last night I apparently thought it would be fun to take my lovely bride on [...]
Tea Party March on the Capitol
Activists from the conservative advocacy group The Tea Party Express marched to the U.S. Capitol Saturday to protest health care reform, higher taxes and what they see as out-of-control government spending. The group began its tour in Sacramento, California, making its way across the country, hosting rallies in about 30 cities. Washington is the final [...]
Official Inaugural Book Project
I was informed tonight by email that the Official Barack Obama Inaugural Book has been printed and is at the bindery. I have the honor of having 4 images in the book along with the images of an elite team of award-winning photojournalists led by Pulitzer Prize winner David Hume Kennerly who served as official [...]
