Satchel: Dog? Gremlin? The World May Never Know.
A few weeks ago, we were kind enough to dogsit a rambunctious Boston Terrier named Satchel. Here are some shots from that adventure. Note: I woke up several times in the middle of the night with this face staring me down:
Arlington National Cemetery
I guess I probably should have posted these for Memorial Day but it didn’t occur to me until now that I could have been more timely in getting these up:
The President’s House
A few weeks ago we got to tour the White House gardens. Here are a few shots from that day:
I took some photos at the Cherry Blossom Festival but I’m not really happy with any of them.
The light was pretty flat and I did not bring my A game.
Adventure!
A couple weekends ago, fellow (and much more talented) photographer Chris Radcliffe and I photographed the Odyssey EFIX 2 Day Adventure Race in the New River Gorge are of West Virginia. Here are a few shots from that race. To view and purchase many more photos from that race, check out our Zenfolio page at [...]

National Botanical Gardens (Part 1)
Lindsey and I took a trip into the District today and decided to check out the orchid show at the National Botanical Gardens, cameras in hand. I ended up getting some pretty good shots despite the rare shafts of good light. Here’s the first batch:
New lens plus awesome dinner
So, this weekend I invested in a Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens and it came yesterday so of course I spent some time playing with it. It’s a pretty awesome lens for the money. No, it’s not an L-series lens but I’m just not making that kind of money so this is the next best thing. [...]
Grungy photo day
I took some photos today on my walk home from the metro and I decided to capture the grungy feeling of the walk – dirty snow banks still lingering around, cloudy day, train tracks, and a power plant billowing smoke, etc.. I also got really grungy with the editing which was fun.
Today we got a blizzard, a snownado, a snurricane.
Seriously, we got another 10 inches or so today and according to the National Weather Service, we had “blizzard conditions” and were told that going outside could be fatal. I braved the elements for a brief photo or two. This photo simply does not do the storm justice but you can see the trees moving [...]
