Some photos from my last few weeks in DC.

Atrium at the United States Botanical Gardens

Close up of a Strelitzia, more commonly known as a"bird of paradise" flower


Many small yellow flowers, and one overgrown one


Rather boring shot of the Capitol Building, but it's just so pretty!


More flora


More Botanical Gardens


How did they fit the Enterprise in this bar??!! (Side note: I may have called this "The Millenium Falcon" and gotten reprimanded sharply by a friend's boyfriend...)


And that is what the inside of a Baltimore crab looks like, if you were wondering. Sorry if you threw up a little in your mouth. If you did throw up, then you're probably not:



Full Yum! I love Chinese take-out names.

Christian Conservatives Say They're Praying that Politicians Come Around to "Right Thinking"...

Highlights from a rather hilarious NPR piece:

"Barney Frank said he doubts that God is a conservative and believes the Almighty should not be used as a partisan weapon. He's amused by Liberty Counsel's plan to make cards of the liberals, which, like baseball cards, will have photos and information about them.

In other words, if people got one of me, they could trade for, like, 11 Hillary Clintons and three Arnold Schwarzeneggers?" he asks. "I suppose the committee I chair does deal in currency, but we'll have to branch out in trading baseball card ratios."

"The only adopted liberal who is not a politician is Staver's nemesis, Barry Lynn, who runs the watchdog group Americans United for the Separation of Church and State.

As a Christian minister myself, I'm always happy to accept the prayers of other people, particularly when they're not calling for my death and dismemberment," Lynn says."

I Do Magazine Shoot

Shot some wedding themed stuff for one of the Eagle-Tribune's magazines today and yesterday. I don't have any of the bride and groom from today because my photos are actually on my editor's camera, but I'll get those up tomorrow. For now, enjoy these! They're very different from what I normally do, but that's the great thing about them.

In other news, just looking for a job and stressing out. That's about it!

Edit: I've added the rest of the photos in a slideshow format. Enjoy!

Better late than never...

Here is the audio slideshow I produced for EagleTribune.com. Enjoy!

New Hampshire Air National Guard

I went out today with the NH Air National Guard on a midair refueling training mission as part of my internship with the Eagle-Tribune... I am absolutely exhausted, but here's a slideshow of some of the raw photos. Enjoy!

Women's Rugby!

I shot sports today for the very first time ever, and I actually had a great time. Here is a slideshow of my photos on my Flickr from the game, a rugby match between the Charles River women's team and the Springfield team. Enjoy!

Drumming through Life

Here's a short audio slideshow I just finished on a geriatric drumming class offered at the University of Michigan Turner Center for Geriatric Resources. It was fun to make! All of the people involved were very sweet. :)
