popeye's harem


A. Litteri is an Italian market in D.C. that has been open since 1926. They keep eighty or so types of olive oil in stock. Popeye wouldn't need to fight with Bluto anymore.

early morning sunlight


Goofing off with my camera, quietly in the morning. It rekindled my desire to take some photos of interesting bathrooms, starting with the retro-cool men's room at the Corcoran Gallery. Is that strange?

halls of justice


Armed only with my 35mm, I had to be creative to photograph the front of the Supreme Court in the early evening. I couldn't fit the facade in any other way.

purity in fall


It's not often that I find flowers worth photographing in the fall. These didn't seem all that worthy, but sometimes the shutter sees things differently.

saturated paintjob


I can't even believe some of the so-called facts about this automaker from Wikipedia. They're mighty ridiculous.

parade of trabants


East German automaker Trabant made cars with two-stroke engines and 10-year waiting lists. Zero-to-sixty in 21 seconds: scorching!

a forgotten memorial


Obscured by trees and rarely visited, the World War One Memorial is often overlooked by tourists looking for the WWII, Vietnam, or Korean War memorials.

a field of fall


I deemed this field to be perfect for bocce ball. Unfortunately, the neighbors take their dogs out here. I'm not wild about playing bocce and trying to avoid lawn mines.
(ISO 200, f/5.6, 1/50s)

06 November 2009

a different perspective


I climbed out of the creekbed, screwed on the new prime, and added a warming filter before clicking the shutter. All I had to worry about was a car pulling into the parking spot.
