Senator Elizabeth Dole
Just as I had herded all the Canton Akron cats into my frame, along came Mrs. Dole to throw some light on the image. She has taken over for Senator Dole and her presence is as large as his. She is ever gracious and has a empathy with people that is stunning to experience. We [...]
Squeeze Em In! Smuckers Flies Honor Flight
My carefully planned photograph of the 200 person Canton Akron Honor Flight went off without a hitch. I was adding and subtracting people to make them fit into the frame of my “not wide enough” lens! Worked like a charm! The Smuckers Corporation sponsored two Honor Flights so far. And I’m going to be drinking [...]
Rocky Mountain Honor Flight May 18 2012
Mary Haddon of Rocky Mountain Honor Flight was at the WWII Memorial with about thirty veterans and their guardians. The weather was DC at its best and promised to continue for the weekend which is supposed to be jam-packed with flights. The veteran on the left was celebrating his 93rd birthday. You can see more [...]
Jane’s Corner
Jane Howitt began working with me a couple of months ago and studio productivity has skyrocketed. She oversaw the revision of the WWII Memorial book through its final stages and is now deep into the revision of the DC PHOTO BOOK. She is also working on a series of posters which we soon hope to [...]

Eastern National, an educational affiliate of the Park Service will have a tent [...]
WWII MEMORIAL BOOK REVISION!
PREVIEW! Due to arrive mid June 2012. The WWII Memorial book will be 28 pages thicker with a gloss 140 lb stock on the cover. Sculptor Ray Kaskey’s use of the “lost wax” process is examined in more detail and a new section called a “A Living MemoriaL” documents the day-to-day activities that make this [...]
Kaskey Studio Site
Sculptor Ray Kaskey who sculpted the the WWII Memorial elements just completed assignments for the “International Brotherhood of Teamsters” and the “International Union of Operating Engineers.” I added twelve pages to the site and updated the “Commissions” page. I designed the site two years ago in Dreamweaver and still think it’s an elegant piece of code.

Forty two of my images will be displayed this month at the Annapolis Maritime Museum. I will be speaking on photographing the Bay on January 26th and the opening reception will be January 27th.

What’s Up?
WHAT’S UP MAGAZINE gave the January 26th lecture and January 27th reception at the Annapolis Maritime Museum a nice write up and I’d like to thank Elyse Exposito for the nice mention.
Barcelona: Visual Treats
Barcelona was a visual feast and there was no imaging restraint possible! I have just finished doing a preliminary edit using Lightroom. While I haven’t had much experience with LR, i found it satisfying to take these gritty green fluorescent night shots and turn them into relatively interesting color or lack of. The choice of [...]
House of Sweden
My sunday riverfront odyssey turned into a triple header. The Georgetown Waterfront has been enhanced on the East with the House of Sweden’s clean, green and hip design and our new park on the West.
Lincoln Light
I must have fifty discreet “views” of the Lincoln but it seems there is always another.
Potomac View
Scouting an architectural project along the Potomac, I realized I have only been on the River once before in my three decades in DC! I jumped on the Riverfront Cruse which was just arriving and it turned out to be the last ride of the season! As I got on, I recognized Captain Bob [...]
Fall Cruising
This was the scene from the helm this weekend as we took advantage of the light winds to finish up the season. I’ve been dropping off cases of ”Tidewater” at the various marinas we visit on our explorations of the Chesapeake.
Chicago, Arizona, New Mexico stay dry!
We had some bad weather forecast today in DC and while it was gray, the rains held off while Arizona, New Mexico and Chicago Honor Flights were at the Memorial. Jim McLoughlin and Susan Barr are in town for a few days supervising the variety of flights that are arriving. Honor Flight is a phenomena…and [...]
750 Veterans visit WWII Memorial
Senators Robert and Elizabeth Dole and General Colin Powell greet 750 WWII Veterans who visited the WWII Memorial this last Saturday. I took a few pictures but more importantly, I directed bus traffic! The pictures are available for free download to veterans and their families.
DC ALOFT
Upriver from the House of Sweden. If you are familiar with my publications, you know that I am always in search of unique and grand views of DC. It’s the most beautiful of the great cities and I’ve found you can while away 35 plus years photographing it. If you are not familiar with DC PHOTO [...]
Senator Dole shares 88th Birthday
Senators Robert and Elizabeth Dole invited 100 members of “Wounded Warriors”from Walter Reed Hospital to Senator Robert Dole’s 88th birthday party this July 22nd. The Doles have been regularly taking wounded soldiers and their families out for a “night on the town.” For Senator Dole’s 88th Birthday, they invited them to their Washington home. The Doles [...]
Honor Flight Chicago
Honor Flight Chicago visited the WWII Memorial in the blistering heat. Wisely staying on the buses when possible, they managed to put together a moving ceremony at the WWII Memorial. Working with Honor Flight Chicago’s 800 volunteer army, this print will be waiting for the veterans when they arrive at the airport this evening. Every [...]
Martin Luther King Memorial
This image was taken about a month ago. As I was wondering along the Tidal Basin on the way to the WWII Memorial, MLK was exposed! It looks to be a beautiful memorial and I am looking forward to photographing it more thoroughly when it opens this August 28th.
L’Escargot Restored!
L’Escargot, now the nicest Bristol 32 on the Chesapeake Bay, is in the water and going fast (for a Bristol 32). I’d like to thank everyone who coordinated their efforts to get the boat through the yard: Buster Phipps for his innovative hatches and woodwork, Osprey Marine Composites for a smooth bottom and structural [...]
Oxford Afternoon
I’ve been driving down to the Eastern Shore to get books out to Museums and bookstores and took some time out to visit with the Cutts brothers who were just finishing up the rigging one of their classic boats. And in the pool at Mears Marina found Margaret L. Anderson Rosenfeld whose autographed book “On [...]
