First Worldwide Photowalk in the books!

August 25th, 2008 | 7 Comments | Posted in My Photos, PhotoWalking

Most of you know that Saturday was the first Worldwide Photowalk. Over 240 cities around the world participated. Chances are, there was one close to you!

Here in the DC area, we had two, both of which were led by Jeff Revell of PhotoWalkPro. Many thanks to Jeff for organizing such a great day of photography for all of us!

You can read more about the day at PhotoWalkPro, Photo Notes, or ScottKelby.com.

In the meantime, I thought I’d share a few of my images from Saturday:

A Look Back: March 2007

March 13th, 2008 | 4 Comments | Posted in Featured, My Photos

It’s that time again… Time for me to reflect on what I was taking photos of last year at this time. How was I doing? Have I improved at all? Can I find any new inspiration? I hope you’ll bear with me as I share some of my favorite photos from March 2007…

During the first weekend of March, I took some night photos down at the Georgetown Waterfront and in Old Town, Alexandria, VA. A couple of them, including the ones below, are still among my favorites:

The following weekend (March 10th), I decided to head up to the US Air Force Memorial to shoot my favorite monument in the day as opposed to the night shots I already had… Between the majesty of the monument and the clouds that day, I decided it warranted some HDR work:

The next day I went out and took photos in the Ballston area of Arlington, VA. Not many turned out that day that were worth showing… except one. The only one I was allowed to take in Ballston Commons Mall (along with the Flickr caption detailing what happened). I call it “Al Qaeda is in the food court!”:


Al Qaeda is in the food court!This was the only shot I was able to get before Ballston Common Mall security informed me that I cannot take photos in the mall… Something about Arlington County and terrorism.

So, please, if you download this photo, do NOT send it to al Qaeda. Apparently they don’t have any photos of Ballston Common Mall yet.

If you’d like to thank the people at Ballston Common for keeping us all safe, you can find their email addresses below:

Finally, during the last weekend in March, I traveled to Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the 2007 Amnesty International USA Annual General Meeting. Of course, while I was managed to get some photowalking in:
