Four Square

Another visit to the Hirshhorn, another series of re-appropriated art.

Photographing Sara in front of a projection. Our eyes didn’t see what the camera did - the rapidfire flashes of color that made up the muted skintone of the film.

One room featured a blue glow, giving the space an indiscernable depth. There were footprints leading back, […]

Signs of Fall

Fall is easily my favorite season. Not only is it the birthday of one of the greatest men to ever grace this little blue planet (me), but the crisp air and warm colors always bring me back to growing up in the foothills of the Appalachians. While the city is no substitute, it’s nice to […]

In the airport

Sara and I returned from a bit of a vacation to Florida, visiting my best friend from college. It was a weekend of  science and partying (those two not mutually exclusive, of course).
We were waiting to be picked up at Miami International, looking for Adam in the distance. Moments later, we realized we were actually […]

New Directions

After two months of settling, I’m glad to have rediscovered routine. I’ve begun a new job, I’ve settled into a new home, and I’m finally able to refocus on the more calming aspects of the everyday.
I shot this series today while wandering back from a long walk to the Mall. I thought Jens Lekman’s song […]

I’ll find the Calm soon enough, but right now […]

Framework

Sara and my mom at the National Portrait Gallery. It’s not strong from a compositional standpoint, but I like the lone moment that it grabs; each of them distracted by the surrounding artwork, tucked away in unseen corners.

Chinatown Cleopatra

 

DC’s Times Square

Chinatown in DC is often swarming with tourists, fancy cars, and teenagers going overboard showcasing the latest fashion trends. Lights blaring, cars honking, and advertisements plastered between name brand stores create a rather stark sensory overkill.
The stores all have their name equivalent in Chinese characters; along with the intricate arch, these serve as […]

The Recollecting Expanse

I’ve been uber busy lately, with big life changes on the way, hence the lightness of posting.
This is another picture taken on that fine Summer evening a couple weeks ago at the World War II Memorial. Actually, it’s several pictures, stitched together through magic. Dark magic.
Okay, Photoshop. I used Photoshop.

Memories of explosions

There are times when I forget how magical D.C. can be.
