the view

By virtue of her new job, we were able to watch the fireworks with a different vantage point this year. It wasn't too crowded, and we didn't have to deal with the fubar of Metro at Rosslyn like last year.

we're gonna need a bigger boat

I tried my hand at framing Georgetown's iconic spire in the arches of the Key Bridge. Unfortunately, I just couldn't get the right perspective. I think I need a kayak or canoe to accomplish it. The way the Potomac looks, I doubt it will be anytime soon.

keyed up

When I first got my Nikon, I took it for a walk in the city on a snow day. I somehow found myself in Georgetown, staring at the Key Bridge as sleet began to fall with a mile to walk either direction to a Metro station. I clumsily took a few haphazard shots and wound up with one of the best shots I've taken since moving to D.C. This time around, I had far more knowledge. Compare the two. Which do you like better?
