Union Station, Washington, D.C.I’m late, I’m late, for a very important date …
When this posts, it’ll be just a few hours away from the Monochromia meet-up in New York City! Save me a seat at the bar, guys and gals 😃
Spied this wonderful message stenciled on walls within the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. I thought this was a particularly appropriate photo to post this week, as in just a few days, I’ll be traveling to New York City for a two-day street photography workshop followed by the much-anticipated Monochromia blogger meet-up for the weekend! A week immersed in photography in the Big Apple making new friends and meeting up with old is my definition of “woo-hoo”! Catch you all on the flip side 🙂

Afternoon. NYC.
Tidal Basin, Jefferson Memorial, Washington, D.C.Enjoying a refreshingly cooler summer day in DC, my husband and I decided to do something we had never done in our 36 years in the area: we donned orange lifejackets and paddled around the Tidal Basin. From the Martin Luther King Jr Memorial to the FDR Memorial and finally to the Jefferson, it took us an hour. Despite thinking an hour wasn’t going to be long enough, it was just right to make the rounds of the Basin (and get in a good workout!).
Capturing a decent shot of other paddle boaters was much more difficult – trying to maneuver our boat while others were maneuvering theirs while attempting to get a clear shot of the monument with minimal camera blur took some patience and quite a bit of luck. This was the best shot and a fun remembrance of the day.

Last fall took me to San Francisco (lucky me!). Getting up at the crack of dawn to make my way to Pier 33 and my trip to Alcatraz, I was rewarded with catching the sunrise through the archway to Pier 14, and as luck would have it, a lone silhouetted gentleman. The early bird and all that, you know … This photo (in color) is framed and hanging on my wall in my new apartment. It makes me smile every time I look at it.

I discovered this composition along the shore of the St. Louis River in Jay Cooke State Park, which is near Duluth, Minnesota. The Medusa like root tendrils seeking a foothold among the rocks seem alive as they reach out new places to get a grip on the land.

The old, the new and time passing in between.

Meet Tinkerbell, my oldest beagle and most inspiring muse. I shot this ‘in studio’, with a single flash behind an umbrella. See my blog for more of my images.
