Notice a band playing on one of the triangle parks while picking up Claudia after work.

We decided to investigate and found out King James and the Serfs of Swing (aka GWU Jazz Band) was having a small park performance that was drawning in quite the croud of pedestrians. We listen for a bit, and snapped some photos of the very talented group.

New York Avenue Sculpture Project


I recently noticed some new sculptures on the median along New York Avenue near my job (between 13th and 14tth Streets NW). I waited until a nice weather day to check them out and take a few photos, only to walk right into the middle of a dedication ceremony.

Originally uploaded by josemne
Decided to try some "light" painting tonight. Used a laser pointer aimed at a blank canvas with the camera set to a 15 second exposure, and then firing a flash to light the easel.

This is the one that turned out the best, after finding out just how hard it is to draw without seeing the lines you are drawing......

With the window posts done, I am back to making it up as I go along. Here is a photo of our scotter with a slight reflection of me.

10 Residence’s in DC of our time

If you have been following the posts, you will have noticed the last 10 photos posted have all been of windows. While DC is best known for its civic buildings and monuments; recently I have been more interested on the residential architecture of DC. So I compiled a list of the 10 residences I find most interesting. As is my inclination I focused on, let’s just say houses of our time, for lack of a better term contemporary houses.

Hit more to see the full list.

Like yesterdays photo and the next few ones, more on this later, but clearly a theme might begin to become obvious for the week.

This also shot as an HDR in order to get good definition on the brick.

My work deadline is finally done, just in time for the weekend. Went to eat some Peruvian chicken and took this HDR photo of the Bethesda Metro escalators on my way back home.

Fun fact about the escalators in the DC metro:  The Wheaton station, on the Red Line, has the second-longest continuous escalator in the world (longest in the Western Hemisphere), at 230 feet.  The Metro system also has the the third-longest continuous escalator in the world (205 feet) at the Rosslyn station.
