Last year I went on a couple photowalks that took place in Washington DC at night.  Here are a few shots from those photowalks — hopefully there’s another one this year!  The first was in March, the second was taken in June, just before the skies unloaded on us!

Every now and then I get in the mood for some black and white photography. Since I’ve been busy with my new son (and busy napping!), I haven’t had as much photo time as I’d like.

This past Saturday, July 18, I participated in the Worldwide Photowalk — the portion I attended was held in DC in Chinatown.  Got some fun shots, but the part I enjoyed most was talking to other photographers in the area, particularly those I have friended on twitter and/or Facebook.  A few of the shots from the day (click the image to go to the gallery page) are below. The rest are here.  Read More →
