Washington, D.C.

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.

Post featuring a photo of the capitol building in Madison, Wisconsin. On this occasion, I was on a business trip to Wisconsin. Even though there was some networking going on at a nearby bar, I sneaked out to get some nice blue-hour photos of this building central to the town emotionally and geographically. In post processing, I added a glowing effect on the edges to add to the feel of the early evening.

I was talking to my cousin Ron this past weekend. (I really need to stay connected with family more than I have…) In any case, he asked if I had a website for my budding photography business. I do have one officially which is a rough work in progress. It is for the company that I started with my friend, Charlie, to do photography and videography [ www.timelinedc.com ]. I’m going to try to keep posting interesting pictures to my blog to reflect, remember, and hopefully, learn.

So, Ranniel, this first one is for you! This is a picture I took of the Wisconsin state capitol building in March 2007 when I was in Madison for a leadership conference at my previous job. It is a great university city with lots of photographic opportunities.
