DC: Week Seven

 Week 7 in DC and surrounding cities...... I traveled to Alexandria, VA and Annapolis, MD this week. As usual I walk around the Mall and other parts of DC everyday. However, I decided to venture a little further this week. And since it was Easter weekend, I also went to a Sunrise Service at the Lincoln Memorial  with several hundred others. More ventures to come......

The Newseum

Spending a day at the Newseum is just not enough. There are many amazing exhibits and photographs in the museum. These are a few photographs I took on the Terrace, at the 9-11 exhibit where the antenna off one of the Twin Towers is displayed, and the Pulitzer Prize  exhibit. 

DC: Week Six

Week 6 in DC.......... Was filled with lots of Jazz Events. John Santos and his band performed one evening and also hosted a Drum Workshop at the Smithsonian. I also was able to visit a few art galleries where I saw a Jackson Pollack. And the rest of my week was spent having an amazing time at the Smithsonian. Everyday after work, I took a walk around the Mall, where the other photographs were taken. Can I just say how much I LOVE this internship!!!!!!!

Jazz Appreciation at the Anacostia Museum

April = Jazz Appreciation Month..... This afternoon the Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum  hosted the Howard University Jazz Ensemble for a concert. I was able to photograph the event and talk to the musicians. These are just a few shots that I took before and during the performance. More to come from the Smithsonian's Jazz Appreciation Month. 

DC: Week Five

                                      

Well Week 5 in DC was interesting to say the least, with the question of will we or won't we shut down. I spent a lot of time in the studio and on Friday had a little fun with some 4x5 cameras and some polaroid film. Through the week I went to the Smithsonian Castle, the Fish Market and since the government avoided a shut down, the Cherry Blossom Parade. 

DC: Week Four

                                           

                                      

                          

              

Week 4 in DC.......... After going through all of the photographs I took this week. It was a night shooting kind of a week. I went out several nights this week to photograph the city to gain a different perspective. I think the city takes on a whole new persona at night. With all the reflections and lights the entire city comes alive in a new way. I also was able to see a concert on The Mall during the National Walk for Epilepsy. During every week, I take many photographs whether I am working or just taking a walk and seeing what I can find. More to come from every experience during this amazing internship at the Smithsonian.
