Seabird at Sunset 1
In many ways 2016 was for the birds, but that was not always bad. During 2016 I discovered how rewarding (and how difficult) it is to photograph these fleeting creatures, leading to one of my favorite sunset images (above). It led to my favorite surf image as well… Continue reading
This year, instead of one large review, I decided to break down my annual recap into smaller groupings, each presenting just a few images of one aspect of 2016. Let’s begin with a memorable Winter (and also to send a small note of empathy to my New England friends and family who are being slammed by winter today). Continue reading
The Old Fish Market (iPhone capture)
I had the opportunity recently to photograph an event for the House of Ruth, a DC charity that does exemplary work helping children, women and families out of homelessness and the cycle of abuse.

The emotional contrast between Saturday and Sunday was striking. Saturday was the Capital Pride Parade–outrageous, outlandish and festive (very, very festive).

The parade drew to a close, my gay friends partied and I went home for a more peaceful night. But then came the news from Orlando. Continue reading
Willow, the Havanese puppy
It has been an especially dreary May in DC. With more consecutive rainy days than ever previously recorded, and the few dry days being grey and dreary, it has been the type of May you’d expect more in Washington the State than in Washington the District of Columbia . So, when the sun finally came out, I grabbed our model-in-residence and a camera and raced to the dog park for an impromptu late afternoon/golden hour shoot. (Of course, I wound up shooting all the other dogs too!) Continue reading
