May 25, 2008 - Recognize

This man is about to Recognize!

The recognize exhibit is currently being displayed at the National Portrait Gallery. It is comprised of Hip Hop and Contemporary Portraiture.

I blurred the edge to create this effect

May 24, 2008 - Blue Sky Architecture

I had to go to Comcast in Northeast today and on the way I passed the Children's Hospital in DC. This is a shot of the blue sky and clouds reflecting in the glass. I think it came out beautiful.

You should see the rest of the shots I took.

May 23, 2008 - Brick in the Wall

I walked around Seaton St, which is one block north of U Street. There were a lot of cookie-cutter type row homes with lots of colors. But, this one caught my eye because of all the different colors on the bricks. These are two different homes but the top left and bottom right and the top right and bottom left are all the same paint colors. Interesting.

May 22, 2008 - Wish I could Run

This is my medal from the Philly Marathon I ran in 2003. I wish I could still go out running. Now it just hurts .

May 21, 2008 - Still Windy

It's still a really windy day and another beautiful sky to boot. This is the DOJ building with the flag waving outside of it.

May 20, 2008 - Hangin Up

I moved a lot of my clothes and big furniture items into my new apartment. I was lacking on time for a good shot today so I took this with my lightscoop.

May 19, 2008 - Cliffhanger!

It's been a few days since I posted, so here's a cliffhanger.

May 18, 2008 - Moving Day

Nothing exciting with this one really. I moved all the large furniture out of my apartment today and saw this outlet that I havent seen in a while since it was blocked by my bed.

Like I said, it's not great and I am still sore from my frisbee tournament.

May 17, 2008 - Ultimate Madness

Our ultimate season came to an end today in the round-robin tournament. We played 4 games in a span of 8 hours (9-6 pm). We won 2 out of the 4, even though we expected to lose all 4! It wasnt quite enough to make it into the finals on Sunday, but I am so sore that I didnt feel like playing in it anyways. This is a shot that is of me and tracey, my co-captain. I didnt take this shot myself, but I provided all the settings and someone else actually clicked it.

May 16, 2008 - Not Much Time

I didnt have a lot of time on Friday to take photos - I had work all day and I couldnt bring my camera since I had to go to the FBI building, a happy hour and then dinner plans at 7. So I snapped this really quickly. I like it because it's a little bit different angle than most flowers.

May 15, 2008 - Look Into the Light

There's nothing too exciting to describe about this photo but it's a shot looking directly into a lightbulb in my standing lamp. It does have a nice 'feel' to the shot though.

May 14, 2008 - Trio of Pears

In honor of Top Chef, I did a food shot on a Wednesday. These are some Bosc Pears that I bought on Sunday. Yum

May 13, 2008 - Empty Bus

I had a few minutes of alone time on my busride home today. I've always kinda wanted a pic like this and I got it. It was a little tricky because the light kept changing, but this one came out well!

May 12, 2008 - Money Down the Drain?

My new electric shaver. I think it may actually be defective - yaaaaay. And, I cant find the receipt. ugh.

May 11, 2008 - Monkey Business

No monkeying around today. It may have been rainy but I went to the grocery store and bought a new bed frame today.

May 10, 2008 - Delicate Jewels...

Another soggy weekend in DC. This time, it rained on Friday night. I went around my block on Saturday morning and saw thse beautiful purple leaves with raindrips being lit by a cloudy sky. I knew I had to get this shot. I probably took it 20 times before I got the perfect one.

May 9, 2008 - What's on TV? Oh Nothing

After a long week all you want to do is come home and watch some TV. Well, my TV remote malfunctioned today. Have to change it by hand until I figure out what's wrong with it. ugh.

May 9, 2008 - Happy National Bike Month

May is National Bike Month - so I took a photo of a bike on my block!

Happy National Bike Month DC!

May 8, 2008 - My new camera toy

Taken with my new Light Scoop The light scoop attaches to the camera flash and bounces the flash similar to diffused light. It gets rid of shadows created by the flash.

It was only $35 - well worth it.

May 7, 2008 - Play Ball?

Our kickball game was cancelled tonight because no one brought a ball for us to play. The last teams to play the previous week are supposed to bring it for the next game and they failed to do so. I was supposed to photograph the game, but there was none to be played. So, I snapped a few pregame shots and here is one of them.

At least we didnt lose this week!

May 6, 2008 - Sitting, Waiting, Shooting

I waited a really long time for my bus to come after work today so I took a photo of the metrobus information. That's just incase you want to come and meet me there next time :)

I've called for information - it's not useful at all.

May 4, 2008 - Dela-Where?

My mom and I went and took a walk around the neighborhood in Delaware this morning. I picked up a dandelion and put it up to the sky. Came out pretty awesome!

May 3, 2008 - A Trip Home

I went home for the weekend to visit some college friends at UD for a picnic on Saturday. Afterwards, some of us went walking around campus before hitting up the bars.

This is a photo of east campus at University of Delaware. To the left are Russell Dorms. I love the UD Gates here. Converted to Sepia to give better detail to the gates

May 2, 2008 - New Shades

These are my new sunglasses that I picked up recently. I've never had a nice pair but these are my first. They are Oakleys and they are one of the few that fit my narrow face.

In post-processing, faded all the color out and sharpened the image for this blue-effect.

May 1, 2008 - Playing with my food

I love having a healthy snack when I come home from work. This is some Veggie and Flax Seed Tortilla Chips from Trader Joes with some Smoky, Spicy Peach Salsa. YUM!

I didnt want to the salsa to have that shine as it would when light hits it, so I turned off the lights, set up my tripod and took a long exposure shot of this.

I think if I were to do it again, I would not have the chips overflow from the plate.

33% done my 366!

April 30, 2008 - A rose is still a rose

Nothing too wonderful today - the picture is nice but it doesnt get me all excited or anything :)
