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.

Discussing the Weapons of Conquest exhibit at the American Indian Museum.

The view of the Capitol from East Capitol St. with barricades along the eastern side of the building.

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 normal Seattle afternoon through my old apartment window.

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.
