Another great photo opportunity with Bethesda Magazine!
I photographed images to accompany a story on diversity in Montgomery County Schools. I came across these kids having so much fun in the cafeteria.
Enjoy!
Touching moment
I found this photograph when editing last week. Principal Dietz was handed this cute baby during a public event she organized only 1 minute before the photograph was taken last spring for Bethesda Magazine. She is truly a leader and a calming force.
Bethesda Magazine Cover
Bethesda Magazine created a beautiful cover with one of my photos! The cover story is a compelling story about Dale Elementary School, the staff and students and how they create a better community. Enjoy!
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.
