The fountains of the National World War II Memorial in Washington, DC are encircled by large granite pillars engraved with the names of the states. I’ve been so busy with portraits and weddings this summer, then I’ve only just gotten around to processing the photos I shot at my DC Memorials at Night photography workshop [...] In late June, the water lilies at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens are in full bloom. The land of Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens was initially bought by W.B. Shaw, who farmed water lilies in the marshes as a hobby, eventually turning it into a large commercial endeavor and developing many new varieties of lilies through hybridization. [...] A few Fridays ago, I ran an intermediate/advanced workshop on “Photographing the DC Memorials from Evening to Night.” Here is some student work from John and Barry, two of my four students. Didn’t they do a great job, doing a teacher proud???!!!

Click here to view all my water lily fine art photography images from Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens. Absolutely incredible, aren’t they?

Megan was choosing between Kenilworth and the National Arboretum for her shoot – good choice, Megan! This is peak season, and the lilies were absolutely AMAZING – waist high, and fields and fields [...] A group of visitors to the Lincoln Memorial spontaneously hold up a sign saying, "I Still Have a Dream." I’m super excited about a new 1/2-day photography workshop that I’m putting together for Monday, July 5th on Photographing the DC Memorials from Evening to Night. One of the things that students at my last workshop [...] A few days ago, I blogged about my new Stock Photography-Image Archive site by Photoshelter. Photoshelter’s been updating their features, and I now have the option to easily embed slideshows on my blog and other websites! How cool is that??!!! I’ve been working hard to upload my full image archive to my [...] Fishing villages co-mingled with tall palm trees line the beach between Benin's capital of Cotonou and the historic town of Ouidah.
