Although I usually just casually pass by the monuments, powerful governments offices, and museums as a regular part of my commute, there are occasions when playing tourist in your closest city pays off. When my father was still shuttling us around, he tried to impress upon me all of the shortcuts to get around, the backways to get in and out of the city, and the best landmarks for pictures. He always loved to play tour guide when out-of-town visitors would come to visit. Washington was much the same for him as it is for me – a place that’s not exactly local, not completely familiar, yet is accessible for exploration all-year round. It is a privilege for sure! Please pass along what are your favorite spots to visit when you are in the capital city.
Thanks for visiting my blog! I make photos for commercial and personal photography projects. Currently, I enjoy making new headshots either at my studio space, or on location. Other popular projects I photograph are marketing and branding images for retail spaces and professionals. If you flip through the blog, I have lots of examples of my previous work, but I am excited to find new people to collaborate on new images. Also, leave me any feedback on what you would like to see on the blog. Thank you!
