Colorado!
I woke up this morning wishing I was on Vacation in Colorado! This photo was taken from Buena Vista’s city park.

In honor of election day
Thank you Barbara Mikulski!
In honor of election day I am posting a photograph of Barbara Mikulski who will retire this year. I will miss her, her feisty speeches, her work and her no-nonsense attitude – that you can see in this photograph I captured before an interview. Thank you for your service!
Nature is powerful
The recent earthquake in Italy is about 20 miles from the annual Spoleto arts festival. One of the pieces really speaks to the fragile nature of environment. The artist used a butterfly wing to beat a drum that amplified the sound through a long windy pipe. The sound created inside the 9th century church echoed like a loud heart beat. Nature is powerful.
Modern Art!
We walked into this room with a Gaint Gorilla created from bubble gum standing on a tower of boxes at the Spoleto Arts Festival. Maurizio Savini, the artist uses the medium to discuss the new modern era – the bubble gum era. Contemplating the meaning was entertaining! The new bubble gum sculptures placed in room with historical and religious paintings made the presentation even more compelling.
- Photo Booth moment. Before and after meeting up with cool ladies.
Photographers do not make the best subjects of photographs. I hope this post makes all my clients and future clients feel a bit better. I feel just as strange in front of a camera as you do at times. This is before and after meeting a bunch of cool ladies.
I need to thank the U of Maryland’s alumni association for hosting a great happy hour for vendor at the Riggs Alumni Center. I think we all enjoyed being served for one night. Thank you!

Intersection of Science and Art – Heart of Harvey
Photographing the Heart of Harvey series of 10 minutes plays created, produced and acted by Georgetown doctors, staff and students really impressed me. The voices of the medical community were unique with a fresh understanding of medical care and empathy for patients and doctors. I hope this play series continues. Very Cool Stuff. This Video created my Georgetown shows bits of the play as well as some of the photographs I took during the show.
Top Teachers
Last year I had the opportunity to photograph Bethesda’s Top Teachers for Bethesda Magazine. What an amazing group of people! Creative, Smart, Giving and Talented.
