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 [...]
Pittsburgh Strip District
My wife, Jenny, and I made a trip to Pittsburgh recently so she could attend a conference for her job. I decided to spend some time in the Strip District and see if I could make some interesting images. Now before everyone starts smirking, I need to say that the Strip District is a clothing [...]
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 [...]
Blizzard of 2010 – Part 2
Blizzard of 2010 Part 2 – Images by Pete Marovich Well I ventured out into the storm today to see what I could find near my home. Here are some of the images from downtown Herndon and Dulles Airport. The snow has stopped now but the winds are pretty strong.
Washington D.C. after the storm
Blizzard of 2010 – Images by Pete Marovich Here are some scenes from Washington, D.C. on Sunday following the great snow.
Snowmageddon (Part 2)
I decided to take a stroll around tonight to see if there was anything interesting to photograph after the snow stopped falling. There were a lot of people out in our apartment complex digging out their cars. Something that I will have to get busy with if I want to get to the city tomorrow [...]
Snowmageddon
“Oh the weather outside is frightful….” Well, we have been here officially one week and just like on moving day last Saturday, it is snowing. This time, just like the news keeps saying, it is an epic and maybe historic snowfall. It is not really safe or conceivable to make it into D.C. for photos, [...]
Scott Strazzante’s Reflections
I know this should be a place where I write about my own original thoughts, but this needs to be an exception. I was reading my friend, Scott Strazzante’s blog today and he has a piece from the other day titled “Reflections.” Scott is an award-winning photojournalist with the Chicago Tribune, and he has some [...]
Moving to D.C.
Well, the time has come for a change. It may seem strange to voluntarily leave my job as director of photography at a newspaper for a freelance career, especially in this economy, but I feel the time has come to move on to be able to work on personal projects. My wife, Jenny, and I [...]
Waffle House – Christiansburg, Va.
On a recent trip back to Beaufort, SC to visit my parents before they move to Pennsylvania, Jen and I stopped for the obligatory Waffle House breakfast. Seriously, where else would you stop at 6 a.m. in the morning?
Destroying Nature
While on a recent trip south to see my family I was zipping down I-77 in southwestern Virginia and had to do a double-take when I passed this scene near the town of Poplar Camp. It was a crappy overcast day but I noted the mile marker so I could stop on the shoulder on [...]
