Photographer meets Lucy...

This is Lucy, she is one of the orangutans at the National Zoo. She sat in this window for a long while. I really think we are the ones being watched at the zoo, I mean can you see all the wisdom in her eyes? I can.

Tomorrow I start my internship, I'm excited! Wish me luck.

Crowded Streets and everywhere else...

With the Cherry Blossom Festival and it being a Saturday the Mall was drowning in people. Every monument, museum and food court was packed. I started to get a little claustrophobic.

Looking around...

Spent my first two days getting lost on the Metro and hanging out in Silver Springs. Today I moved into my new home for the next few months. I'm living on Capitol Hill only .8miles to the National Mall. So After I moved my stuff in to my room I headed down to the Mall. I only had an hour before the Smithsonian museums were going to close so I wandered around the American Indian Museum. I really enjoyed it, in fact tomorrow I might head back and look around more.

I am not sure how much free time I am going to have after my Internship starts on Tuesday so I figured I would fit in as much sight seeing as I could this weekend.

Last few days in Seattle for a while...

Well in about 9 hours I am getting on a plane and heading for D.C. for a few months. Here are a few photos from the past couple weeks and today. I am glad to be going to D.C. but at the same time when I get back things won't be the same here some of my friends are leaving and things will just be different. Anyway to the photos...

A place that provided me money and friends.

Oh SNAP!

I got a roll of film developed from my Holga today, only three frames out of 12 were printable. I hadn't shot color film in a while, it is a challenge I will undertake again in the near future. Anyway here are the three frames. Shooting with the Holga is fun, its simple and just fun. I can't say that enough.
