Friday Foto Finish
Friday, January 18th, 2008The Lincoln Memorial, framed by Washington’s Monument and a tree. I wanted to photograph the National Mall during a snow storm. Instead, by the time I had gotten off the Metro the snow had turned to rain. Still, I walked and walked, trying to get from the Smithsonian Metro stop to the Lincoln Memorial, and [...]
Where I spent my evening
Wednesday, January 16th, 2008I’m in DC for a conference, which gave me an excuse to visit my friend at the White House, the recently appointed Associate Counsel to the President. He took me on a private tour of the West Wing, the Oval Office, the Executive Office Building, the Rose Garden, and more. Woohoo. For a policy wonk [...]

My Christmas gift in action
Thursday, December 27th, 2007It’s no secret that I’m an avid photography hobbiest, and as such I have decent gear. But I’ve never had any high-speed lenses, the kind where you can capture vivid images in low light without resorting to unnatural flash. Peter Ong turned me on to a steal a couple weeks ago, and my beloved bride [...]
Christmas with the Del Rios
Thursday, December 27th, 2007With everyone’s favorite big cousins Willie and Amber arriving tonight, holiday festivities promise to continue at least through New Year’s, but here’s the photographic 411 from Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Highlighting Christmas morning was Judah’s first real prank. Ever since his kindergarten teacher blew the Santa myth, no amount of The Polar Express could [...]
Friday Foto Finish
Friday, December 21st, 2007The past few weeks this weblog resembles a photo gallery more than a traditional blog.
