Posted in Posts, tagged , on August 31, 2009 | Comments Off

Last Wednesday, we all woke up to the news that Senator Ted Kennedy had passed away. He’d been in the Senate since the age of 30, serving the Bay State for 47 years.
Saturday, we all woke up to news-channel remembrances and the funeral being broadcast from the Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help [...]

Restaurant Week Is A Good Thing

Posted in Posts, tagged , , on August 28, 2009 | Comments Off

I love Restaurant Week!  My former coworker GW doesn’t mess around when it comes to his food, so each time RW is announced he is right on top of reminding everyone and we organize an outing, usually composed of employees and ex-employees of The Firm.  It’s a nice excuse for me to go over and [...]

Adorable

I love this.  At first glance they may look like the same suit as well, but on a closer viewing I see that Mr.  Bernanke has on a windowpane.  Now, I know that Jos.A.Bank was having a sale recently, but…
However, I am proud of them.  See, they are using appropriate knots for the collars.  Now [...]

[cross-posted from DC Metblogs]
In recent months, you may have read about photographers who have reported being harassed by Amtrak police/personnel, and sometimes even having their photos destroyed, while trying to work inside picturesque Union Station in DC.  Well, Photo District News just tweeted that Amtrak (in cooperation with the National Press Photographers’ Association [NPPA]) has [...]

Minimarts are the best

Posted in Posts, tagged , on March 12, 2009 | Comments Off

I’m sad on behalf of the residents of DC’s Dorchester House Apartments in Adams Morgan.  Evidently, the building had a bodega in its basement which was quite popular with the residents, but it is being forced to close…not by the new neighborhood Harris Teeter, as one might expect, but rather by the building’s management company.
As [...]

The TIGR Beat

Technology, Innovation, and Government Reform
Best Government Acronym Ever.
I am transported back to 1984, at the corner 5 & 10, looking at “SIMON & JOHN TELL ALL; C THOMAS’ DATE NIGHT” headlines on Tiger Beat.  I was not allowed to buy it…part of me is sad, the rest of me says “thanks, mom”.

Anyhow, I love the [...]

I don’t know how much Energy it would cost a bug to walk across this bit of bronze, but I think he might enjoy exploring the relativity equations!  (I took this photo with the camera nearly lying on the sculpture’s surface – with just enough distance to accomodate focal length.)

From the rooftop

Just before the end of DST, when it was still light out when I got home, I had this lovely cloud/void view waiting for me when I looked out the window.  Had to go up to the rooftop to capture these blues.

Veteran’s Day shooting (with my camera)

Posted in Posts, tagged , , on November 13, 2007 | Comments Off

I’m not, like, shooting vets or anything.  I think they’ve seen enough gunplay.
Anyhow, it’s 2 days late and a million dollars short, but thank you for your service.  I spent the Observed version of Vet’s Day on the Mall in the morning, shooting a couple of the memorials and the folks visiting them.
