DC Day 2

At the National Archives


Don't remember where this was taken but there's random fountains/memorials everywhere.

Best crabcake sandwich ever at Matchbox

@ Matchbox

Air and Space Museum. A tad disappointing.


Granville Moores

Tried moule frites since Bobby Flay did a Throwdown there. It was pretty good. Expensive for what it was so now we do our own version at home whenever mussels are on sale.

Washington DC, Day 2
May 2009

Man I'm still thinking about that crab cake sandwich.

Death Valley

A different perspective on the way to Father Crowley's Point.

Marble Canyon

Marble Canyon- looks like a heart haha.

Sand dunes

Sunlight hitting the dunes

More pics of dunes

Jer on the dunes

Zabrieskie Pt

Salt pools (yes Death Valley has some water!)

I like the lines of this pic (Badwater Basin)

Salt formations at Devil's Golf Course

One of the salt crystals

Starry starry sky- 30 sec exposure

Jer taught me a cool trick- you can use a flashlight to shine some light on your object if there's no other source of light. However, the above pic is when you do it for 3 seconds.

This was for 2 seconds and it came out really nice! Again, a 30 sec exposure. The rest of our campsite has to be really dark though for it to work.

Borax wagon.

Yet another diff image of Death Valley.

All pics taken at Death Valley by me or Jer in Nov 2008. This place was a photographer's dream. Next time we go back, I want to bring a wide angle lens!

Washington DC

Somewhere over Virginia?
Virgin America
Seat 16F
April 2008

Been in DC for work, managed to sneak away to do what else? Take pictures!

So many cherry blossoms! I specifically woke my ass up at 7am (while my body was still thinking it was 4am pacific) to see these famous trees.

Here are the blossoms close up.

Duck sleeping at the Reflecting Pool

Washington Monument and the NON Reflecting Pool (the Lincoln Memorial is behind me, I was on the steps to get this shot. Darn pool dude ruined my clean shot)

Arlington Memorial Bridge in the distance

Metro Station stop
And my favorites...

I manually focused this one...I wanted the background to be super blurry.

Jefferson Memorial across the Tidal Bason

I can't wait to come back here with Jer, the tripod and the remote, haha. And perhaps our zoom lens?? And macro lens?
