Thursday, March 17, 2011 at 8:00AM The image below is from a trip I made a few weeks ago to the National Building Museum. The sunlight shinning through the buildings ceiling made for dramatic patches of light across the different levels of the building.

If you're in DC, I recommend checking out the building museum. They have an impressive exhibition of Lego Architecture on display until September 5th, 2011.
Tuesday, January 4, 2011 at 8:00AM I don't normally photograph concerts or shows, but every once in a while it's something fun and different to do. The images below are from a show at the Rock and Roll Hotel in DC at the end of December. My friend Curren, from the Corcoran, asked me to photograph a holiday show that her band was playing.

Tuesday, August 17, 2010 at 8:00AM I've previously written about photographing Jana and Kevin's wedding, but I left out one of my favorite images from the day. I was extra excited for Jana and Kevin's wedding, because she specifically wanted me to shoot film.
I sometimes shoot 4x5 or other film when I'm covering weddings, in addition to my regular digital coverage. Mostly I do it for my own enjoyment, and often the film images simply blend in to the other black and white images from the day. The film images that do stand out are the 4x5's, because I often mess with the tilt-shift functions of the camera when I'm shooting with it.

Triptych panorama of Luray CavernsLast weekend I drove with Jackie to meet her parents at Luray caverns in Virginia. They were there while traveling along Skyline Drive on a motorcycle for vacation.
I've been carrying a small film camera with a 50mm lens on weekends as a way to separate shooting for work, and shooting for fun. The 50mm F/1.4 lens was great for the low lighting of the cave, but the focal length wasn't great for getting images of the large rock formations. In order to overcome the limits of the lens, I decided to make a panorama in the camera. I shot three images, and tried to line them up so when the film was viewed un-cut it would read like a panorama. I didn't line up the frames exactly, but overall I think the effect worked well.
Monday, July 12, 2010 at 8:00AM A few weekends ago I shot Alison and Leon's wedding with my girlfriend (and fellow photographer) Jacqulyn Maisonneuve. We arrived a few hours prior to the ceremony, and I covered Leon and his groomsmen while Jackie photographed Alison and her bridesmaids.
;)
It was great to be able to work with Jackie, and cover both the Bride and Groom's perspective of the day fully.
