‘Blog’ Collection

NCC Staff

Friday, January 15th, 2010

Joanna and I had the opportunity of photographing the National Community Church staff and their proteges this afternoon.

This is the busiest church staff, I think, in the country so it was an act of God that we got all 27 people in one place.  It should be mentioned that it’s been about 5 years since this has happened.

Thanks For Being Our Year!

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

2009 has come and gone. A fast year by our standards.

It was full of joy, pain, and personal revelation, and by God’s grace we have grown stronger.  And through these things we will be better husbands, wives, children, brothers, sisters, friends, and strangers in the new year.

Photographically, the year was diverse.  From photographing an inauguration party with Jay-Z to photographing the interior of model apartments, this year has stretched and positioned us to learn so much in 2010!

As we say goodbye to 2009, we wanted to say Thanks!

Thanks for being our year!

BLIZZARD!

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

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 Grays

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

Recently I’ve been asked to shoot photos for Chapman Development. They are currently working on a new project on Pennsylvania Ave SE, just over the bridge into Anacostia, called The Grays.  Thanks to Gena and Kathryn at Top Shelf Design for connecting me with Chapman Development!

I’ve delivered a panoramic image of the view from the roof (click image to see larger)

PORTRAIT! Amy Jones

Amy Jones has told me repeated times that I’ve never taken a good photo of her.

That’s a lie.  See for yourself!
