The Emperor Arrives

This picture was actually not taken while I was enrolled in the photo class, but rather just before it. I went to Antartica this past December and ran into an Emperor Penguin in the Weddell Sea. So many have commented on this image that I would be remiss if I did not include it. Enjoy!

Union Station @ the Postal Musem

I've walked past this area hundreds of times in my 10 years or so in DC and I always wanted to take a picture of it. I really like how the columns and dome appear to multiply into infinity and lead up to the postal museum door. What do you think?

Peace and Quiet in a Garden

One more picture of to represent the quiet scenery. This was taken at "Mary's Garden" near the National Shine. I really like the reflection in this image and it sets a nice tone with the statue of a mother holding her son close to heart.

Depth of Field and the Botanic Garden

Ah, a nice quiet picture to contrast with the craziness that is Vegas and a urban fish market. Here is a picture I took back in January that shows depth of field at the US Botanic Garden.

Images of A New Home

I was looking to add a few more photos recently so I took the image outside my new Condo that I closed on last week. I like this image because of the angle of the multiple fountains and the black-white contrast.

Images of a New Home: Steamed Crabs on a Hot Day

As I mentioned, I recently moved into my own condo. After six years of living in Arlington, I moved into Southeast DC, neavy the Navy Yard. CLoseby is the Waterfront and fish market. I liked this picture because its such a contrast with the calm photos of the garden and waters also posted here. I also like this image of the steamed crabs because I was able to capture the steam in the image itself.

Vegas in Gold

I was about to toss this image as I really didn't care about how the light made the image so yellow but then I found another use for it: the yellow makes the Eifel Tower and the Paris casino look "golden." So, the color matches the Vegas money theme: and who doesn't want to strike it rich and "go for the gold" when out in Vegas?
