Announcing FLASH, The Exhibit, Sponsored by FotoDC: Opening March 18th, 2011

I have been abysmally bad at blogging this past month!  I’ve just been too busy!  I’ve done about three times the work in Jan/Feb 2011 as compared to Jan/Feb 2010!  Actually, it’s awesome.  I’ve had a lot of fun with some very interesting events and assignments…I just haven’t had the time to tell you [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day!

I know, I know, I’m still behind on my blogging!  Since my last post, I’ve been busy with yet more executive portraits, this time for two executives at a large event design and planning company.  I had photographed one of their sales executives back in October, and they had me come back for more.

Of TV Shows, Valentines, and New Publications

Why oh why do my very favorite TV shows always end after just one or two seasons?  First, it was Dark Angel, then I discovered Eli Lilly, and then…Heroes was so good, how could they possibly have ended it after only one season???  And now!  I started watching John Doe, and that last episode [...]

Cathedral of St. Matthew in 360 Degrees…Left, Right, and Up and Down

When I photographed the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington, DC last weekend, I also shot a sequence of 59 images (360 degrees around me plus up and down, making a 3D, 360-degree sphere), as I wanted to try a 360 degree panorama, as well as a stereographic (spherical) panorama.  Check’em out [...]

Milena & Israel, Wed at Last

Just two months ago, I met up with Milena & Israel for their engagement photography session at Meridian Hill Park in Washington, DC.  And exactly two months later, on December 17th, 2010, I found myself once again smiling during their winter wonderland wedding at the love and joy that this beautiful couple shares.  As [...]

Lisa’s Birthday Bash

I could see that Lisa is a very special person. I could see it in her family and friends, who filled the room with joy and laughter. I could see it in Ed, her husband…as he watched her, happy to see her happy…as he brought her a piece of birthday cake…as he serenaded her [...]
