I hadn’t been back to Skyline Drive since the beginning of march for a number of reasons. Always nice though to get some use of the National Parks pass and some fresh, albeit brisk, air. [Full Set]

Road trip to Cascades National Park & Central Washington [Full Set]

a few random pics, all taken with the iphone, from canoe trips this summer and fall on various sections of the Potomac. Managed more than 40+ trips on the water this year.

Summertime on the Upper Potomac. Photo used by DCist and some other sites i can’t remember.

Quality is somewhat subpar, basically 1/100th the quality of the originals and let wordpress (the software platform for this blog) do the auto-resizing which is kinda meh compared to photoshop optimization.

Took a trip to Argentina by way of Panama City… After partying in Buenos Aires for a few days we rented a car and took off cross country for the Mendoza wine region and Andes Mountains. [Full Set]

The Washington Post contacted me asking if I would take some photos of the Winter Solstice for them… here are a couple of the shots. Kind of exciting though almost everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. 2 lenses went kaput, camera wouldn’t turn on and wasn’t feeling great.  Many thanks to mikeontheinternets for letting me borrow his 8mm fisheye, which along w/ the simplistic, but always reliable, 50mm 1.8 saved the day.   The following photos appeared on WashingtonPost.com

Had a random, albeit brief, October snowstorm. Grab the camera and went out for some shots… the photos along w/ a few others appeared on the Washington Post’s weather page…

In early September we got quite a bit of rain – some places 7+ inches in one day and event totals of over 15″. Some of these Pics ended up being featured on the Washington Post’s weather page which was pretty cool along with ArlNow, the up and coming Arlington News site.

Kirby Road in McLean starts to flood.

Tough weather to take pictures in… Damn you Autofocus.

we got about 1.5-2″ of rain in DC a couple days ago but some parts of the watershed got up to 4″.
