I woke up this morning with the intent of going out and taking some photos of the winter wonderland here in DC.

I woke up at least.

When I looked out the window the snow wasn’t coming down that hard so I bundled and headed out… with no gloves.  Couldn’t find them anywhere.  I really wanted to get a photo of the Capitol Building in snow and that’s it.  I trudged my way a mile to the Capitol and took somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 photos and called it a day.  My hands were freezing!  Not to mention that my beard looked like I had spent time in Antartica!

Here’s what I got:

After I braved my way to a wedding in Arlington (only two groomsmen weren’t able to make it), on the way home I captured this photo of the Capitol:

When I got home, Joanna came out to help me shovel out the parking space for the car right in front of our house!  So thankful that we got that spot, but it’s the hardest we’ve ever worked for a parking spot in DC.  We took some photos of each other when we were finished.

after a little nap, we ventured to the corner store for some Blue Moon and Guiness and are going to call it a night with Sunshine Cleaning and Angels and Demons. The snow is stopping now and things are so peaceful on our street.

The last two nights I photographed a really cool event at The Royal Danish Embassy.  There were a ton of people there both nights and getting through the masses proved to be difficult, especially those moments I had to be in two places at once.  Take a picture in one room, run to the other.

I decided just before I left the event to walk through to show you what I have to do to get through crowds of people quickly with camera equipment.

On November 11, 2009, I have a photo in an Art Show at Busboys & Poets on 14th & V Street NW to benefit Invisible Children.  Show starts at 6pm and ends at 8pm.

Please join me and other extremely talented artists as we raise money for IC.

Here is my submission for the show, a 6×9 print on metallic paper.  It’s mounted in an 11×14 frame and looks absolutely gorgeous if I may say so myself.

See you there!
