I recently photographed students from The Washington Center volunteering their time to paint an elementary school in northeast Washington, DC. Most of the work was to repaint the school's parking lot lines, as well as touch up some of the murals inside the school.

I got a last minute assignment to get a few updated images of the 17th Street entrance to The Corcoran yesterday. Starting today the roof of The Corcoran will be undergoing restoration, and the entrance will be blocked by scaffolding. I shot a similar image of the Corcoran last year prior to cleaning of the facade, and it was used in a lot of their literature.

This past Tuesday were the annual student awards at The Corcoran. It was a little calmer than in years past, but was still fun to shoot. The top photo was shot with a remote camera I set up in the back of the auditorium. It was my first attempt at remote photography, and it I'm fairly happy with how it went. I learned some things to do differently next time, so it was a worthwhile experiment.

I shot the Cherry blossoms the other day. It was the first time I've really gone to see and photograph them in the six years that I've lived in Washington.

I recently went with Corcoran Graduate Students to the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The Students are mainly working teachers learning how to better engage their students with art.
