Ohio Drive SW Bridge

Another great shot from last night’s spectacular late winter sunset. The main attraction was the Jefferson Memorial across the Tidal Basin but turning the camera slightly to the left brought this photo into the frame.

Monumental Sunset

I’ve been waiting for the weather to get nice enough for outdoor photography again and this weekend delivered. My first time out photographing DC in 2015 produced some of my best shots ever with this amazing sunset over the Jefferson Memorial and Tidal Basin.

Iwo Jima

Photographing the war memorials in and around Washington, DC is one of my favorite things to do. They are incredibly reflective spots and photographing them forces you to spend more time, and give greater attention, than you would on a normal visit. When I arrived at the Marine...

Kogod Courtyard

As a 4+ year resident of DC, I’m certainly guilty of under-appreciating the magnificent museums the city has to offer. One of those museums is the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery. The museum itself, and particularly its modern courtyard, is one of the most...

DC Through The Lens

Three summers ago, I got my very first digital SLR. It was my first summer in Washington, DC and I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to develop my photography skills and photograph some of the most beautiful treasures America has. Two years ago, I created a photo and...

Washington, DC offers so much opportunity when it comes to photography. My two favorite locations to shoot are without a doubt the US Capitol and the World War II Memorial. Both locations offer tremendous potential under any conditions, but they are in their prime at night. In...

Freedom Silhouette

To start off my new Photo Blog (what I intend to be daily updates), is perhaps my best shot thus far, and certainly one of my favorites: Freedom Silhouette. The shot depicts the top of the US Capitol Dome and the statue Freedom silhouetted against a Full Moon. The picture is a...
